I just found your channel and I am in love with these ladies! I enjoy how you meet the real people of a country / area and in the end show that no matter where you go, there are good people! Cheers mate!

[@trusttheprocess4775]

The best channel on KZbin. Period. Mr Bald, i would like to share something with you. I had never been interested in history or geography. I never liked it in school and my professors weren't that great either. Hated that subject. But after watching your Russian adventures on KZbin, here i am, as a 21 yr old engineering undergraduate, finding myself extremely interested in world war history and everything along with it. You my friend are one of a kind. Please keep doing what you are doing. I really enjoy your content and look forward to every video you post.

These lovely people with their nostalgia for the USSR have Stockholm Syndrome. In one breath they say their family was sent to Siberia in the next we lived very well under the USSR.

[@divinaluz7]

That is because they are speaking of two different periods; Stalin and post Stalin. The system was the same in essence, but the leaders operated differently, so their lives were better under Presidents Khrushchev and Brezhnev, and those who succeeded. Stalin died in 1953, so they mean before then when they talk about Siberia.

[@atlastdeals]

The reason why I love you is that all your videos are pure it's no company trying to make millions or paying people to say things. You are just a bald man with his camera providing natural content, you're charismatic I think you have an amazing skill to just go and speak to people. I think you need to start trying to get your videos on Netflix because we can all tell you have a passion for adventure, doing new things and you are genuinely fascinated about how people live differently. I can see you in the future making your own professionally filmed documentary. Thank you for taking us all on your adventures.

I think the magic of Bald's videos comes from the fact that he does not have a professional crew filming him and editing his videos. A TV or Netflix show would come with scripts, staged scenes and edited (cut) videos. I wouldn't like those.
