Eating In A Soviet Restaurant

Want to check out a Soviet restaurant? I heard there was one in the Belarus city of Gomel and decided to go take a look. Hope you are hungry!

Solyanka is a pre-soviet type of soup. Features pickled and brine-fermented vegetables, often using up last year's winter preserves. Every household has it's own version. Kvas is a home-made "small beer" made from bread or occasionally flour. Alcohol content is usually 1% or less. Often served to children in place of lemonade, or used in soups. It tastes slightly of bread, fruit, and ranges from sweet to refreshingly tart, depending on the tastes of the brewer.

One of the greatest harms caused by the Cold War was all of the lies and propaganda on both sides. I hope the Rus-Ukr war ends soon and all of the sanctions and other nonsense are lifted.

about the color, they usually use paint that they have the most (white) and add some green/blue to it, so you end up with lime green

[@zbuzzrascle]

I really like you always tell us how much you pay for your meals etc please keep it up

[@bkbk4003]

Wow thank you for these amazing videos. Enjoy your travel and please be safe! Had to subscribe 🤗

[@captainamerica7300]

mr. bald is very cool for documenting all these videos for people who do not get the chance to venture out into these regions that otherwise we would know nothing about it is very good cultural learning experience to see how the other parts of the world function and the progress that has evolved after such decades of degradation and horrific hardship that these people have endured . just remember they are people just like you and me and most of them do not have it as comfortable as we americans have it ,thats the way i see it. dont take it for granted it could happen to america .

Who’s also reading the comments while listening to Ben who’s giving an entire history class presentation? Have fun to y’all!

[@montycobra]

Not that much history. History-wise there's a lot of Goebbels' propaganda, which was internalized bu the West.

Hilarious how Bald and Bankrupt hits every noun with the "Soviet" adjective. It really is funny!

6:02 Old soviet camera.....soviet waitress xD

[@namenlosnutz]

In Soviet Union it was a schoolgirls uniform actually. This whole place looks like a weird kitch which doesn't represent the actual soviet era, but does represent western stereotypes about it. We call that style "klyukva" (клюква).

[@terranrepublic7023]

I'm sure the Soviets didn't eat in a room with 9000 lenin heads around them This is just a theme park to keep the old commie fans happy.

[@oleshka2588]

Terran Republic You ar right. The waitress is dressed like a pioneer (soviet pupil) and the real outfit of a soviet waitress is different.

[@nikolayskvotsov3868]
