Slovakia is offering citizenship to those who can prove their Czechoslovak ancestry. My mom (an American) is on a quest to take advantage of her Czechoslovakian heritage. Timely video for me.

I'm also looking into doing this. My great grandfather was Czech. ❤

my dad was born in slovakia and had to renounce his citizenship when he escaped communism (as a toddler) in the late 60s. he now is a citizen again and has a slovak/eu passport. he is hoping to apply for my sister and i too!

[@lauracarrolldebolt9233]

[@the_occasional1764]

While officialy Bratislava has only 450 000 people, those are only the people that are registered there. Many are simply not, but live in the city anyway. The mayors office estimated that Bratislava could be home to around 700 000 people actually. Otherwise a great video. Just as a fun note. When you mentioned, that Czech republic and Slovakia are still very close, it is a tradition for a new president elect of either country, to visit the other as a first official state visit. Just a little thing to remind us that we are still brother nations.

8:10 The cannonball is located below (approximately the second floor) to the left of the window. It's black.

[@MichalBrat]

The thing you have pointed with an arrow wasnt the cannonball you had been talking about. It is a sphere under the clock that shows Moon phases. The cannonball is lower on the tower. In fact, there are around 12 of them in various buildings around the city and they were put or kept there on purpose as it was a sign that the building was damaged during the Napoleonic siege and thus the owner is getting some tax cuts as reparations.

I really like your video, it is very well made and is possibly the best I have seen on this topic. However, I would just like to mention a fact that I have read about the name of Bratislava. I believe that the first written mention of Bratislava is under the name of Prezalauspurch, which then evolved into Pressburg and the Slovak name, Prešporok.

@@GeoPerspective As additional tip, here are two videos about video editing that could help your improve your videos. -Johnny's video formula, more about the structuring of a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnqupHiejZKpr7c -Video about the trick that Vox uses to make their text engaging: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIumqHmIgNSZmKM -Second video about the editing tricks Johnny Harris uses to keep the viewers engaged: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIvVgYmLr757gac

[@alehaim]

The quick summary is that a good way to get a viewer engaged is to make the video feel like they are reading a book when it comes to text. One thing I think could work well which is similar to the page turning audio would be for example making the different film rolls change by the earlier video clip vanishing by going up and the new video clip comes up from the bottom (the editing trick video has a quick showcase of a similar thing with pictures), while also having an audio effect of slide projector changing a picture. This would imo work best in the bits where you have historical video footage playing while you are talking over it.

[@GeoPerspective]

@@alehaim Thanks for the links. I definitely haven't seen all of them. Need to try to shake things up for sure. The only problem is any time I try something "different" from my usual city videos or move too far away from Eastern Europe or Russia the views are terrible. Also, my viewer retention is decent, getting the clicks is the hard part it seems.

velvet revolution was in 1989 (change of the regime), and Slovakia became its own country after the fall of the iron curtain in 1993.. you completely mixed the two.....

[@Ovechkin1194]

Name Bratislava is not from Bretislav a ruler. The oldest Slavic name for Bratislava is Preslava or Brezlavuapurc.

[@jgerka]

Slavic Vedas (Russian: Славянские Веды), also known as the Slavic-Aryan Vedas (Russian: Славяно-Арийские Веды), are the ancient sacred texts that are said to have been passed down from generation to generation in Siberia, Russia. Slavic paganism or Slavic religion is the religious beliefs, myths, and ritual practices of the Slavs before Christianisation, which occurred at various stages between the 8th and the 13th century. Slavic culture is one of the oldest cultures in the world. According to many sources, slavic people have common ancestors (Aryan race) with those now living in modern India and Iran. This link has been confirmed by genetic studies as well as linguistic and tradition similarities. Some Russian words even have Sanskrit counterparts, including one of the most recognisable words - Vedas. The verb that comes from this word (ведать) means “to know and understand”. The culture of pre-Christian Russia and Eastern Europe is often referred to as Slavic Vedism. It is a wholistic understanding of the world, which recognises micro and macrocosm similarities and connectedness of everything in the nature. People realised that the interests of everyone cannot be above the interests of the person, but at the same time each person should be working for the good of the community - like the cells work in the body, and are nourished by it. Slavic Vedism teaches that there is just one god, which is expressed in different natural concepts, phenomena or physical objects and is connecting the entire universe together. People viewed nature as their home and were seeking to cooperate and understand it, not fight or conquer it, in the same way that you would not fight your own home. Slavic tribes and Viking tribes were closely linked, fighting one another, intermixing and trading. “The presence of Slavic warriors in Denmark was more significant than previously thought; this image emerges from new research”

[@jerseyforhawks]

Excellent information.

[@majstter7420]

0:25 - Bratislava has no border with Hungary, it lies some 10km south.

[@peto1986]

It does have a direct border. Cunovo, Rusovce and Jarovce are direct districts of Bratislava, not a separate villages. They are sparsely populated yes, but still Bratislava nonetheless

[@KaptainKirk265]

I live in Bratislava. The economy is way worse than you say and the average salary is around 1100 euro if you are lucky. The average cost of a one room apartment is 600-700. Count that with the 35% income tax and the over 14% increase in inflation on food.
