KhTZ: Ukraine's Most Dangerous Hood 🇺🇦

🇺🇦 I hadn't been in Kharkiv very long before I started hearing about the dodgy gopnik filled suburb called KhTZ ( Kharkiv Tractor Plant ). None of the people I spoke to had actually been but they all told me stories of a region known for its fights and muggings. Well I decided to go check it out with my good mate Johnny. Join us both on a gopnik adventure in Ukraine's dodgiest hood.

@@thepredators1111 Yes, it's tragic. The only way is to get them at a very young age and educate this potential madness out of their head. Schools should teach respect, manners, kindness, compassion, self-defense, why bullying is bad etc. It doesn't happen. Instead they get smartphones and become polluted with garbage, not everyone of course, but the majority. I sometimes see toddlers in pushchairs using a mobile phone. I wouldn't mind so much if they were learning things that helped them evolve and expanded their consciousness.

ХТЗ tractors were all over Eastern Europe back in the day. The legendary Харковчанка (Harkovian) giant Antarctic vehicle was also produced there. But most importantly, if you read or watch Victor Suvorov whose tank regiment was based in Harkov, ХТЗ covertly stood for Harkov Tank Industries, and they would switch tractor into tank production very quickly indeed if needed, churning out thousands of tanks. What I see is a post-industrial dystopia so prevalent in every region that lost its industrial life and trying to get by with the leftovers from the past.

[@thomas1942]

"Don't go there" "Locals don't even go there" "Most dangerous part of the city" all these things, and many like it are like cat nip to the Bald and Bankrupt!

[@HiHi7530]

It's incredible how polite and kind Ukrainians are, despite having had such a rough history and a lot of them still living poorly . Even the homeless guy rummaging through the trash was polite. God bless Ukraine and it's beautiful people ❤️ we love you!

Johnny is great! Not taking the tags off your cloths drove me nuts! Happy to see a new video from you.

Keeping the tags on the clothes was hilarious and wearing bucket hats to fit the part. You def proved a point tho that younger people do dress like that tho.

[@bigpapaharambe3565]

I don't know how to explain this, but you bringing us along on your journeys is incredible. I am so appreciative that you bring me along to see the parts of world that I know I will never get to see. So thank you Bald, thank you so much! :)

Can't get over those price tags, hanging around and living their best life.

[@abroamg]

When I visited San Francisco I saw a group of dudes with tags on clothes, it looked verry dopey especially with the pants saging 😂

[@charlesingram2075]

They keep the tags on because the clothes are fresh

[@BOSS-rv7ju]

Bald kept the tags on so he can return the cloths later. Typical tight ass

[@ralphpomm4943]

I really liked this video. You 2 guys are funny. When kids love you and hug you then it means you both are good souls. I would love to visit Ukraine and even better yet hang out with you two. I only speak English so I would be very nervous to enter Ukraine alone. Keep these videos coming. Thank you for sharing this video 👍🏼🇺🇸

It's amazing the power of knowing a different language. This channel is so amazing because you really communicate with people, everyone saying your Russian is amazing, you get so much more information and respect from the locals because of it. Great to see you back Bald!!

[@user-ig3zs1ex2w]

His have a so strong accent. but all what his say accessibly. In Ukraine and russians citis and town many peaple know english, becouse learning in school.

Villiager: "dont go hereee!" Bald: " so ive decided to go here."

[@Houndguardian]

the interesting thing is the Ben clearly understands very well that these type of warnings are often unwarranted, outdated or just straight up don't apply anymore. It probably helps that he has a lot of charm and knows how to talk to people with no prejudice in his approach as well, but still: I feel we can all learn a lot from him.

[@MrTarmonbarry]

@@Houndguardian Sometimes the warnings are just the humour of the people , its different from the west

[@samdrow8268]

@@Houndguardian but in fairness we can say that the narcovillage in Bolivia was actually dangerous and I don't know how Ben miraculously left there safe and sound. Man, he literally met two real cartel members... 😬
