I'm 30years old. As Bald said - we can not miss Soviet past. Because our grand parents were suffering, our parents were fighting for independence and we have to cherish what they have built for us. It was worst years of Lithuania's history, stopped development which Lithuania had since early 20th century, killed ~30% of people, mostly intellectual, rich people, created shady schemes (bribes, corruption, etc.) and we are still fighting with all these leftovers. And not only that, balts (Latvians and Lithuanians) are not slavs, they have totally different culture, language, history, etc. And nobody reacts to word Soviet as a trigger, but everyone wants aknowledgment of differences and that it was dark past against people's will.

18:00 regarding what u were talking about here: I highly doubt that as lithuania has a rich proud history since way before the soviet takeover, and that is their national identity i would guess. They removed all the soviet stuff not because they "didnt wanna think about it" simply because it isnt them, it was forced upon them. Now i may be wrong about this but this is my take on it.

[@ZhylvisLT]

Yes, your take on this is quite precise. As a Lithuanian myself I can tell that Lithuania is proud of its long lasting and rich history which has been built through the ages and those 50 years of the soviet time are remembered as a nightmare. Those bloody communist came here, deported the upper class to gulags and started to enslave our peasants. How they think we should remember those times with nostalgia?

The architecture in Vilnius is absolutely beautiful!! It has such a European cosmopolitan look and seems like a very clean city!

[@Rimsiakas]

The pasties you were eating are called kibinas. It's a traditional dish of the Karaim peoples who have been living in Lithuania's Trakai region since the middle ages. If you ever visit Trakai (a worthwhile destination, though nothing Soviet for Bald there), try some kibins there, they're something else entirely over there.

[@eyeeyeoh]

And then Karaims were eradicated because they used to practice Judaism, right? Now most kibinai places offer pork as a filling and that’s ok.

[@Rimsiakas]

@@eyeeyeoh I don't know about that. Wasn't able to find anything too specific online, but it seems that the nazis distinguished Karaims from Jews and didn't apply the same policies to them. A 1897 census says that there were 424 Karaims living in Trakai. 2001 census says there were 273. So while the population decreased over a century, it doesn't seem like they were eradicated.

Vilnius looks great. Architecture is definitely very European, in fact it reminds me of our medieval cities here in Belgium (Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Namur...), but with a definite eastern flavour to it. I'm impressed, definitely looks worth a visit.

Lithuania can afford to do that because it can depend on the USA/EU for trade and it is very insignificant to China. At present 12-15 nations recognised Taiwan as a separate country. It doesn't mean anything to China(PRC) as long as Taiwan (ROC) itself did not declare as a separate country.

Technically we didn't recognize Taiwan as an independent country, but at least we let the office be named "Taiwan" rather than "Taipei", so it's still a step forward.

After we adopted Euro prices doubled, but salaries tripled or even quadrupled in some places.

Also, would love to replicate on Johnys last words. We do not want to delete our history, we wish it woul'nt have happened. It is still very painfull to a lot of Lithianians, since there are still a lot of people that lost their loved ones or grandparents to the regime. Some of our parents or grandparents came back from the Siberia. The history is still alive. Of course there's always people that glamorize those times, but mostly we educate our youth on it . Constant discussions , art projects, exibitions created on it, so we would know. But it is not supose to be part of our identity, it was forced on us. :)

[@grobuonis2773]

Agreed, that last sentence is just what I was going to say - not our history, therefore we don't have to preserve any of it. We're not deleting our history, in fact we're promoting and reviving it. "Destroying history" is one of the biggest pet peeves of mine. Two months prior to the removal of the monument to regime collaborator Cvirka (which made it into Bald's video), a new monument to Jonas Karolis Chodkevičius was unveiled, or what about that sculpture of Jonas Basanavičius from a few years ago. To do the opposite of what we have been doing since 1990 or even to have done nothing since then would be the real destruction of history, as we would end up having all of the same copy-pasted, inorganically imposed revolutionaries, heroes, holidays, national myths and narratives as 14 other faraway and sometimes culturally foreign countries. Now THAT would be destruction of OUR history.

Gražiau apipavidalinus turinio tai nekeičia... Argi patys tuo dažnai nekaltiname kitų? O štai elgiamės labai panašiai kaip jie.

vilnius is special, you can feel the atmosphere of the old lithuanian empire

[@AlfonsLC]

Its the Vytis on a flag. National symbol. Flag of vilnius is the iron wolf. Geležinas Vilkas. Also. Eat cepalinai at snekutas.

[@urtekaselionyte7723]

And kibinai in trakai! Trakai also has a gorg castle, definitely best to visit in the spring

[@awolsam]

Hmm Vilnius reminds me of Finland, like how the architecture and people look, and there is also Hesburger.

[@stillhousefilms6165]

What a joy it is to travel the world in my mind with the help of Bald and Johnny .

[@Moloko_b]

Here from Mr Bald’s channel and love the banter between you guys lol Amazing architecture ❤️👍🏻 atchoo

[@CarsandCats]

When Johnny finally gets recognized it'll be, "Oh! You're that KZbinr who wears his meals on his face."

[@TheTeoras1]

I love how you guys are going trough some of the oldest parts of Vilnius and saying "wow, look at this Soviet architecture" lol. Very glad that you guys enjoy(ed) my city

[@bomber16]

New fan of Johnny but long time fan of Ben You guys rock please keep it up Cheers from Canada

[@shehaan23]

Ah man! One day I'm gonna join you on one of these travels johnny! so spontaneous and fun! Enjoy!!!

[@calgarycolt]

Hope you and Bald get to see more of Vilnius before you leave. The downtown and "Old City" are impressive. Go visit the self proclaimed "Republic of Uzupis" in the old city. I spent a week in the city in 2017 and cant wait to go back to visit again. Take a look at the Presidential Palace in Vilnius and note the flags that are flying there: The Lithuanian national flag, the EU flag and the NATO flag. Where can you go in the west and see a nation proudly fly the NATO flag.

Good presentation. First time I expect 99.9% of the world has seen the streets of Vilnius. I;m impressed too.

[@Tindre]

both of you are just amazing to watch, so much joy and lust for life. Love it.

[@Viktushish]

Johny, Vilnius does not have 4 streets, VIlnius is 4 times bigger than Paris in area(fact)

[@garyweaver5512]

40 times big as your pride for it

[@edvinmester5228]

New York is a village compared to Vilnius, we got the point.

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

Vilnius looks great! Looks clean, low-crime, not crumbling from the effects of diversity like London.

[@sventasbravo177]

Can't really say there is much diversity there...
