Many comments include ppl making assumptions off a few min video that this man has shakes due to alcohol. I find it so sad. Ppl see someone poor and assume these things. They see an old man living roughly in europe as and assume hes an alcoholic. The same thing in india the assumption is to feel bad because he had no opportunity. In the west, the assumption is he did it to himself and deserves it. Its all really sad. When I see this man in this video, even though I'm not Belarusian, I feel proud and envy in a positive way. Because, hes lived the obvious war riddled life he has and despite his ailments does more walking, chopping wood, etc than most westerners do in a day. I'm proud of him and envy his spirit along with so many we encounter in Balds videos. Its amazing and a privilege he brings these encounters and parts of the world to us.

With the way things are, it's likely that he might die in his shabby, rundown, house not a mile away from a graveyard full of friends and relatives, and no one will know. Unless he has developed a strong friendship with the townsfolk or the people who come there every two weeks to give them some food and money, I doubt anyone will come to his house to check on him.

Those people experienced the greatest loss of their life, their relatives. Those graves mean really much to them, because they are last link to the memories of people who were very important to them. They taught them how to live, something much more important than some "possessions". Mind that there was unimaginable amount of knowledge passed on from generation to generation only by oral means, oral and direct instructions - no books. As some example - You could go on into field with my grandmother and pick any plant - flower, plant, grass - and she could tell You name, what time of year it flowers, how it reproduces, what insects feed on it, what animals feed on it, is it edible, what dieseases it can cure or what poison you can make out of it, what myths are related to it and if it is native - all of that knowledge was passed orally to her by her grandparents and complemented by her husband who was also a gardener. My mother managed to absorb maybe 10% of the knowledge, i could not get even 5% even with help of modern books, we just had not enough time together before she died. And this was just small part of knowledge about life, some example wchich can visualise that illiterate people had means to pass culture and knowledge and why people value their elders and why they are so attached to their graves.

Perhaps even if one becomes "human" again, it isn't always easy. With being a human comes having feelings, and feelings as many know can be severely difficult to deal with, especially in the state that Kolya is in.

I don't know that he is unhappy. His life has meaning to him. He sees himself as part of a greater story and a greater community. That community for him extends beyond this life, hence his care for the graveyard. He has things to live for. I would even say good, worthwhile things, better than many much wealthier people here in the city of Toronto. As Victor Frankl pointed out in his book on how he survived the holocaust and the war often it wasn't the young, the strong, and the healthy who survived the camps. Factoring out things like luck, it was those who had a profound reason to live. Kolya has many reasons to live and his knowledge of them has been illuminated by his faith and honed by the hardship he endures.

odd to think about it....my grandmother used to say "Oh Goodness Gracious" yet she was on the other side of the planet from him and spoke a completely different language. it really is a small planet, but i feel media and cellphone a personal device tech is keeping many from looking up and going out and really seeing how much the human family needs each other.
