You HAVE to watch this until the end.. You seriously won't believe what happens while we're in the "country". But ah it FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK! We're going to roll weekly the next few months until December then stick with videos every two weeks! Got so many crazy adventures coming your way very soon I hope you're excited. We're definitely not the first to travel and make a story about Transnistria so shout-out to all the other creator who had already been. Hope you enjoy our take on it and the crazy end of our trip. Much love and see you next week! - Thomas
I know! We didn't connect with people as much on the first day then the babushkas just adopted us! Hope you guys are well let's do a trip together soon!
its a completely amazing vlog..i just subscribe on your channel because of you made me overwhelmed about the topics that you have made and a extraordinary experienced even just watching your videos with a lesson to learn..sweet hearted grandma she just made me cry,how i wish to meet her personally but i know its completely impossible for me,anyway i wished that she will be safe at all times..as well you guys_more interesting videos that i just watched from your channel just keep it up and more power!!!love&support-a filipina citizen here living in Spain..
The woman talking about her sons and the kindness she showed. Made me tear up. I’m a 45 year old man I’ve never been so touched by anything on RUclips.
I feel so lucky to be able to go on these adventures with the yes theory team. It’s truly life changing. I’m so glad I said YES to this trip and got adopted by all these amazing Babushkas!
Came here for a weird sounding country. Stayed for the Grandma. Literally crying right now. My best wishes for her surgery. Subbed to this channel. Thank you for such a touching story. :)
This made me cry, I’m from a village in Eastern Europe, I grew up with in my grandmothers house, left the country when I was 10, and now at 27 I’m still travelling around the world, seeing this made me think about my grandmother and how I should visit her asap, my next flight will be Lithuania so I can see her again
I hope you do! It may not feel real now, but all of our grandmothers eventually leave us. Go see your grandmother and tell her you love her while there's still time on this earth. Good luck out there! 😘
Seeing how generous and trusting these people were is so inspiring. OMG, the amazing grandma, she's so sweet. I'm so sad when I see older people being alone, thank you so much for spending time with her, it must've meant so much to her 🙏
9:30 I'm a grown up man and that lady Yelena literally made me cry with her generosity. She met complete strangers, foreigners, closed her shop to make them tea and cookies just because they remind her of her sons. WOW! Something you can only see in post comunist countries in my humble opinion.
@maurice2014 and no that same generosity cannot be found in the same big towns tourist go to its off the beaten path for the most part, yes it does happen in hig areas but you are less likely to have this experience unless you do the lesser known experience.
It’s always the places that people know little about that have the best people. I can’t believe how people can maintain such a positive spirit in their circumstances, just imagine if everyone was like this.
My great grandma left Eastern Europe after WW2. She was very much like the babushka in this video, both in looks and incredible generosity. She just passed earlier this year, and this video brought a strange emotion I can’t quite describe. Happiness sadness and nostalgia all in one. Thank you
I'm usually not getting emotional but this old lady whose Thomas reminded her of her son made me cry 🥺 Wish her happiness & blessings. To all the babushkas
I cried a lot when I put thought to the elderly woman, living alone finally having guests over... the way she said God sent you guys to her, it actually makes sense and Im just relieved you guys made her happy :)
It's unbelievable how kind and hospitable the people are. A grandma literally gave her home address to 2 men she doesn't know. I'm gonna cry everyone is so sweet!!!!
@「 Deadpoppin 」 the like/hate part changes from region to region. particularly in poland and DDR there were many purges. if you lived near the RSFSR counterpart it was probably like a heaven.
@「 Deadpoppin 」 yeah. i live in azerbaijan and know that azerbaijani oil provided huge income for RSFSR. atleast the purges here werent that much and none of my family members got purged.
Grandma is so sweet. I literally cried. You guys are genuinely good guys from your heart, that's why people start loving you wherever you go. You guys simply rock. Godspeed!
That sweet grandma just got her eyes' operation paid because she was kind without expecting anything in return. Just by sharing kindness and love so her new visitors and herself didn't feel lonely. Just by letting the universe do its job. Happiness really is a choice for sure. What a lesson. I hope to still be able to meet her one day and tell her how I got teared up watching this
This was literally SO heartwarming, to see an unknown country have such sweet people AND to win against the best football team in the world is amazing, even with the country being poor, the people have a spirit that not too many people have.
Little fact, country is not poor, they are rebuilding their city center which was not shown here and have backing from a bunch of rich sympathizers. last time i was there they started building quite a few modern tall buildings. my mom was there recently and they are starting to look more like a city than a backwater town
The mother must have been so happy to see someone who looked so much like her deceased son. Must have felt like fate for her and another chance to see him. gosh it made me cry buckets. ❤
That's probably why she immidiately invited them for tea, seeing someone look exactly like her son, though not the deceased one, probably moved her a lot.
19:12 every episode makes me cry at the end. Y’all are having incredible experiences and changing peoples lives that touch yours. I’m fully addicted to this channel now!
Yelena just filled my heart with so much love. The pain she still carries for her beloved son can be felt through the screen. I hope she is doing well....... We need more humans like the beautiful Yelena.
Gosh I cried. Really. This is one of the most heartwarming and wholesome things I've seen in a long time. The babushkas and the people in general were so inviting and welcoming that made me cry for real. I really hope that the people of Transnistria can have their place under the sun respected and loved.
I just watched this video and I'm so grateful that this guys helped that grandma with her surgery. She seemed like she didn't have family so you guys really became her family, that's priceless.
Her child are out with roumanian passport and Roumania its a stupid country cause they give passportts for this people thr chance to live a better life in european union
Yes because they know god is real and bad karma is a bitch Much love from norway The earth is flat Norway Psalm 19:1 the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth his handywork The real fountain of youth is water from your own body everyone has a water fountain on their body ruclips.net/video/v7ALshrGzB8/видео.html
Guys, the amount of genuine love and joy you experienced in this trip is totally invaluable. More important, you made grandma feel so loved by just spending time with her and enjoying every bit of the moment.
"Thank you grandson." And I'm crying like a baby. I love that she can't stop feeding them. It's totally a Grandma instinct. But what you did for her. She was right when she said from the very beginning God sent you to her.
I may be late to the party, but wow. Didn't expect to tear up today but I did. The fact that the old lady just took you in, no questions asked and treated you like family, and that you went ahead and paid her surgery, that's the sweetest thing I have seen on YT since a very long time. It kind of reminds me of my childhood when visiting my family in Poland in the late 2000's/early 10's, but amplified tenfold
The guy who owns Sherriff FC owns almost everything over there… the grocery stores, the gas stations, cigarettes, the sports complex, etc. He’s more powerful than the politicians I think.
It’s not necessarily that people don’t show it, but you just need to travel and talk and interact with people. That’s the idea behind yes theory there’s goodness everywhere just need to find it.
The two grandmas in the video were the sweetest, they kept feeding you guys like real grandmas! Specially the last one, it made me cry when you had to say goodbye =˜(
This made me so emotional because people who have everything won’t give a dime and people with nothing but a happy life just want to share and that’s one of the reasons I work in the medical profession to give back as much as I can
I have a buddy from Transnistria. He travels on a Russian passport and most of the time when people ask where he's from he just says Russia. It's too much hassle to explain the truth. He has that same giving energy you see in this video. If he visits your house he repays you by fixing something that's broken, or doing whatever clean up or heavy lifting needs doing. I am so happy to see a video that shows his country in a good light.
Russian people in generell are super lovely and helpful people, especiall the women but men too. See, each country has amazing , heartwarming people and traditions thats why we should give and take just the best of ourselves into the world to make it a better place for all of us :) PS most russians will also invite you to their home and actually give you lots of amazing food, alcohol if you want to and a place to sleep for how long you want to. Same goes for arab and turkish people, they all sit togather and me as a german in the middle of them eating from 1 big plate was such a good feeling , like family, like home, but with "foreign" people. Thats what friendship is all about.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ I think it is like in every culture. There will be racist people, but there will be supportive people. Same like asian people to other races and vice versa.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ as russian who lives in Russia, I can tell you that attitude of Russian people towards black people is strange. the strangest thing is that we dont really have a word for black people and the hard n word is somehow stayed for a word meaning black person but when we say that, we dont mean the same as American people there is not much racist component in it russians treat it as just a word. second thing is that black people often participate in anecdotes and shit like that. also because of our ussr mentality, a lot of people from older generation started not liking black people because of blm lootings and because ghettos are usually the most criminal places in USA cities, they just don’t have internet to see what are the reasons of it and etc. just want to say that if you are black in Russia, you will be feeling safe and calm, but sometimes people will point fingers at you because you are so different and say the hard n word but not meaning to somehow offend you. also you will get a lot of interest from younger generation and some of them will ask you for a photo or insta. (tbh when i myself first saw a black person, I behaved kinda same way because im not from Moscow and these things are rare af)
Thank you Yes Theory for such a heartwarming video. And thank you for helping the grandma. Watching this video made me realize, there is still so much goodness left on this planet. Thank you for your efforts.
@@YesTheory you guys should make a longer version of this featuring those people you only showed briefly at the end and showing the nighttime celebrations
It's so cool how the story of this video is driven so much by unexpected encounters with strangers. That's the beauty of human connections, together we can make incredible stories and experiences! Thanks for capturing this so well, and highlighting the godly principles of generosity and kindness.
check out Bald and Bankrupt's video on this if you want more content exactly like this, interesting stories, encounters and vlogs in eastern EU and Russia!
he didnt do that. Those people did it, he only put a camera in their faces and then left without anything given back to these people. Just ignorance here and hypocrisy. I bet both u and this bozo give tips to waiters for good services as token of appriciation. But u dont do it here in the east do you? Instead u get awed at how giving we are and just take it. and when we visit u selfish bastards we are expected to comply to your rules. how about u do the same?
@@hisyamhasbi8257 Yes i did, all the way to the ad. And i see nothing that proves me wrong there. I only see him eating grandma's food that he will never bother to visit again. Even tho' she gave him probably all she had for the week/month . Now she will HAVE to rely on the kindness of the other. My point is, westerners are blind and oblivious as to why we are the way we are and in their ignorance they act like westerners still and just take everything is given to them and will not return the favor.
American here. I just visited Transnistria the other day, and It was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. The people there were so kind, and I got many hugs and made lifelong connections and friends there. It is easy to visit, and I highly suggest everyone should go! :)
Also American. Wondering, did you have any issues crossing border? I just learned my girlfriend is from this place. She just told me earlier Moldova. Now I find out she was born in Transnistria and family is still there 😄 Looking forward to it, but a little anxious about Russian troop presence.
I haven’t cried in a long time, that old lady broke my heart and when you gave her the $ for her operation choked me up. Been a while I’ve seen a good video like this.
@Jan Dan I can't believe thats the case. No one would think that some random people you just met some hours ago would give you a huge amount of money. And how could she know how rich they are so they just could give her so much money. A bit sad to believe people could only be kind of they seek for something in exchange.
@Jan Dan I feel sorry for you if you think everyone out there wants to take advantage of you, especially some old lady at the end of her life that could care less about some hundred dollars. It's seriously sad that your life has made you like this.
Holy shit, why was this so wholesome!? I literally cried when Yelena was talking about how Thomas reminded her about her dead son, and them getting adopted by the sweetest grandma ever! ;_;😭
I went to Moldova and then went to Transnistria 14 years ago. People were so friendly in those parts. They are quite poor but have big hearts. Had nightmares with the border police entering both Moldova and Transnistria. Glad things have improved.
every time we drive to a country in the balkans and pass border patrol everyone just slips 20 eros in their passport and no problems. keep in mind you gonna have to pay more the better your car is
This is what "communism" is. Everyone lives like one family. This capitalism is a poison that kills good qualities in people, everything rolls into self-interest. Everything is bought and sold, even feelings and emotions. Equality? Whoever has more money has more rights...
Good morning guys I’m Helena I’m 65 years old recently I start watching your channel I love that you’re free. You travel all over the world and you look so happy hopefully our younger generations going to follow your dreams
I cried when you guys handed her that envelope. It really just blows me away how for us, $800 isn't even half a budget for a gaming PC. Yet in Transnistria, it's eyesight for a sweet little old Babushka who took in complete strangers like they were her own grandchildren. I just can't. It was too much for me. Really puts things into perspective. You guys are awesome.
I love seeing content like this, it shows us and others how caring people can be, and what we can learn form them, to make this a better world for everyone. Its human nature after all.
Transnistrian here from a small village near Tiraspoli, thanks for visiting our little country! People often are afraid of coming to our country or visiting the country, especially with the recent shots in the country, but we'll always welcome visitors!
@@Arvinw1 Well, that's not really up to us to decide, plus, it's been 30 years since the war happened, we have our own government, our own borders, what more do you need to consider it a country?
@@VkklVkkl do you call south ossetia a country? No why? Because its not recognised by any country besides russia and nauru and a few others AND it is not in the united nations just like Transnistria YOU ARE in republica Moldova my friend intelegi? And final, on ANY map does Transnistria exist why? Because you already know it’s not a country.
Thomas was right when he said that the poorest people are usually the most generous and have the most to give! Such a beautiful video! It's amazing what kind of experiences you guys are making with people! I always feel like I'm right there when I watch your videos! Much love from Germany!
This does not correspond to reality: Western financial structures recognize Ukraine as the poorest country in Europe - but there is nothing human in the people there, only the desire to kill.
Amazing people. I'd be fascinated to know your opinion. I'm also a substantial follower of this channel and I also create vlogs regarding life in Russia. Unfortunately the youtube algorithm has not been as good to me yet. Almost all people who sees my vlogs says that it is great, but not many get to view it. Can you be extremely straightforward and inform me how I can improve my vlogs? I value your sincere point of view.
This was so beautiful! The grandma literally made me cry and smile at the same time. People were so warm and welcoming! So nice you helped her with her surgery! Bless you guys!
I had a lovely time in Transnistria. It is definitely an off the beaten path destination, but very safe and welcoming. Glad you guys are showing it to the masses :)
Remember that there are older people in all countries that are alone and would love to tell us stories and spend time. It doesn't take going to other countries to have joyful moments like these. I encourage us all to take time and listen to older people and hear their stories.
They shouldn't be alone. The kids are supposed to take care of their parents when they gets old and can't take care of themselves. Just like how they cared for us when we were kids. Im so blessed i live in q society where the parents are cared by their blood.
@@DayZcustomMods The earth is not flat and vaccine is not a weapon. Don't you know that deaths from COVID are much greater among the unvaccinated than among the vaccinated? Or do you disbelieve all the news because the (other?) Trump cultists tell you it's fake?
@@DayZcustomMods They THINK it's the same, but by & large they have no more accurate idea than your average man in the street does. "Man, all these doctors. nurses, microbiologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, and other researchers keep saying COVID-19 is dangerous. But all these people who barely passed science in high school keep saying it's not. It's so hard to know who to believe anymore."
I have a friend whose family is Transnistrian. He returns annually, and intends on bringing me over for a week just outside Tiraspol. I truly appreciate the work on this video.
The stories about grandmas bring me to tears. Thats so true... Most of the olders are living alone and literraly could give out anything they have just to have some company and people to talk to. Thanks for the heartwarming and so joyfull video.
*gonna be real here: I've missed the "old" yes theory, for about a year now...but THIS...this is what I signed up for. Pure inquisitiveness, open to the world's mysteries and foibles, the joys of the unknown, meeting old foreign ladies who embrace and feed, blending in as best as you can (sorry guys, the fake track suits didn't work, lol), going for authentic...THRILLED to hear you are back on track doing what nobody else does as well...LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Just renewed my adoration of a bunch of guys living our best lives for us"*
I agree, I didn't know how to describe it. I've loved watching their videos for a longggg time, but for the past couple months it just didn't hit the same as it did before. I absolutely LOVED this video, no hate, it just did not felt the same as it was before.
You guys honestly just made that grandma’s day. For all we know she’s always alone or always has been and was just nice to finally have company again. Seeing you just flooded her with memories of her sons. Thank you for taking the time to spend time with her. 🥺
I feel so lucky to be able to go on these adventures with the yes theory team. It’s truly life changing. I’m so glad I said YES to this trip and got adopted by all these amazing Babushkas!
This episode is so wholesome I can't- 😭😭 All those babushkas were very sweet and generous to you, I couldn't help but shed a little bit of tears... The football match was incredible, and the locals were very welcoming! I love everything about it!
I am goosebump and crying of happiness guys and I know this video is 2 years old, but it’s my 1st time watching it. Thank you for showing us the real other side. I happen to have visited it in 2007, just before I left my home country Moldova and had about the same experience. 17 years later and I sense nothing much has changed for these people. I am glad you enjoyed your time and I loved your video on Moldova as well
May her son rest in peace. You helped that lady grieve a little more. As someone with a father who passed, seeing anyone that sounds or looks like him leads me to want to talk to them. It gives me more closure in a weird way and It helps my soul to grieve and heal. especially when they are sweet about it like you were. That definitely made her week, I wouldn’t stop thinking about you if I was her ❤️❤️
Man that old lady made me year up like no one's business. Warmed my heart so much. She's got so much resolve, spirit and love. Damn I need to cry. Why is life so hard.
This video is an emotional roller coaster. From a tear with the sweet old ladies to laughing out loud when he was like 'is this pee' with the yellow shots by the bathroom
I like how professional, yet non professional, this feels. Good camera, good music choices, good everything, yet it still has a person behind it. Not just some random persona.
ive noticed a trend that basically every elderly person, that we see on camera at least, is the kindest person out there. while its obviously not only elderly people. to know they have lived through so much and still came out as giving, and accepting of others. is just nice to see all of the older people being seen and heard, when the sad reality is so many older people are just sort of forgotten by everyone around them, especially if they outlive all of the people they grew up with and built their lives with.
Many of euro-descendant countries have this horrible culture "against" elderly people. If you take a look at latinamerican or asian cultures, you can see so so much respect and care is given to those older people, because at the end of the day it is them who are the wisest and that is something we should take care of. Really hope more people thought of family that way.
Well I am an Indian who had been to this country for 24 hours back in April 2024 and trust me guys the people I met were so welcoming; I was lost in the city and had no internet. I wanted to head back to Chisinau to my hostel and I had no clue on where I needed to board the bus, a shopkeeper got to know about my situation and asked one of his pals to look after his shop and accompanied me to the bus stand and spoke all the way on how good he felt that I had visited his country. These are the moments I travel for; a small gesture but it made my trip most memorable one❤
im like teary eyed this whole time over the grandma and how she always offered you something even though she had basically nothing. and when you gave her the eye-surgery money i just sobbed. this woman is too precious.
@@carlocolucci7022 Yup. On paper, communism is a fantastically obvious choice for an equal and near-utopic society. Marx was brilliant, but he was also an optimist. It's just unfortunate that no matter where you introduce an element of human leadership, corruption follows, and communism is especially quick to collapse under it.
That grandma brings me to tears. Her struggle is unending yet she gives so much and cares for everyone with her whole heart. May God bless her on her journey
It actually seemed like it. Here in europe, people would absolutely FLIP their shit if given the equivalent to what she was given. Her reaction at the end when given the money makes me think she is a very very wise woman. She realizes money for what it probably is, nothing. And also realizes the true worth of life, which is spending time living, together with people you love.
This is kind of openness was seen through out most of Eastern Europe especially during the Soviet era, when I was a kid everyone was always polite, friendly,giving and caring for each other because the life style of the people was community based. You won’t find this much in western societies because they were raised with regard only for them selfs and self benefits so I love it when they show Westerners come to the East and be surprised by the hospitality of its people much love from Latvia :)))
I find Russian people to be very hospitable and very respectful. It is highly unlikely for a stranger to speak badly of somebody, like in the UK for example. It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm additionally a big follower of this channel and I also make content with regards to life in Russia. for some reason the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me yet. Nearly everybody who sees my material states that it is great, unfortunately very few get to enjoy it. Can you be brutally straight up and say exactly how I can improve my content? I value your honest point of view.
you gotta be nice to your neighboor because they can make you disappear. communism work just like the building near the main street look nice but move in a little and you will see how ugly it is.
@@lncafein hahaha yeah had that before but honestly I don't mind. As someone who doesnt have a bad memory of growing up in communism. I know a lot of bad stuff happened but they happen in every regime no matter if they are democratic or authoritarian, fascist or communist, in my opinion the regime is just a name and the people in charge are the evil but thats an unpopular opinion.
I am literally in tears. This showed me that humanity still exists like the kindness and love they radiate is unbelievable and the way they make you feel loved amd wanted is just great. I would like to visit this country so much.
There should be more people like them, not only the 2 hosts with hearts of gold but also the locals, who were so friendly and lovely that I cant even begin to describe it. These kinds of videos makes anyone feel good about being human. Why arent these more popular than the negative news? They should be.
I lost about $ 2000 to a fake trader before was linked to expert Mr James and believe me he helped me recover the $ 2000 and made an extra $ 6000 in the space of a week and 4 days
No, they are not living like us. They are very poor people in a very poor country. But with very big heart. Consumerism, wild capitalism, social media didn’t infected them, yet.

THE SWEETEST. And if that was a grift, she can grift me ANYTIME. What a little angel. I love how much joy they brought each other. 🥰
Totally agree with you
The fact that she thought they were already left but also had prepared breakfast for each of them just in case, it's just the purest love
Oh my god i just realize 🥲🥲
My favorite part. Only the purest of heart and kindest of souls would do this and I love that humans still share this for one another♥
The grandmothers were SO kind. I honestly felt so emotional during so much of this video. The world is amazing, people are amazing.

It's probably the huge heart that enables her.

This made me cry, I’m from a village in Eastern Europe, I grew up with in my grandmothers house, left the country when I was 10, and now at 27 I’m still travelling around the world, seeing this made me think about my grandmother and how I should visit her asap, my next flight will be Lithuania so I can see her again
I hope you do! It may not feel real now, but all of our grandmothers eventually leave us. Go see your grandmother and tell her you love her while there's still time on this earth. Good luck out there! 😘
Did you visit her yet? We need to know
My family friends of 20+ years are Lithuanian :)
Seeing how generous and trusting these people were is so inspiring. OMG, the amazing grandma, she's so sweet. I'm so sad when I see older people being alone, thank you so much for spending time with her, it must've meant so much to her 🙏

9:30 I'm a grown up man and that lady Yelena literally made me cry with her generosity. She met complete strangers, foreigners, closed her shop to make them tea and cookies just because they remind her of her sons. WOW! Something you can only see in post comunist countries in my humble opinion.
Travel more, generous people are everywhere. Yes “that” generous.
Also they aren’t a communist country anymore … for quite some time
@@maurice2014he didn't say they were he said post communist, post means past.
@maurice2014 and no that same generosity cannot be found in the same big towns tourist go to its off the beaten path for the most part, yes it does happen in hig areas but you are less likely to have this experience unless you do the lesser known experience.
The best part was Eric and her walking. he genuinely showed her interest. The way he communicated seemed like a super cool guy.

the last scene with the sweetest grandma… i’m literally crying
same, makes me remember the day i left home to go to another country. My grandma stood there and waved at me. Its like a record playing in my head rn
Man I genuinely cried at the interactions between them and the beautiful grandma, such a nice lady, so rare to find. God bless you guys
I did too! It was so wholesome and really shows people can be so sweet even when things aren’t the best 💯
i’m still crying 😭
GOD JESUS TOLD US TO LOVE EACH OTHER! LET'S NOT DESTROY THIS WORLD! NO WAR!
Fr same.
It’s always the places that people know little about that have the best people. I can’t believe how people can maintain such a positive spirit in their circumstances, just imagine if everyone was like this.
My great grandma left Eastern Europe after WW2. She was very much like the babushka in this video, both in looks and incredible generosity. She just passed earlier this year, and this video brought a strange emotion I can’t quite describe. Happiness sadness and nostalgia all in one. Thank you
I'm usually not getting emotional but this old lady whose Thomas reminded her of her son made me cry 🥺 Wish her happiness & blessings. To all the babushkas
I absolutely agree with you the babushkas were all so nice
She was so sweet, so giving right away and started tearing up, so much kindness in her!

Grandma is so sweet. I literally cried. You guys are genuinely good guys from your heart, that's why people start loving you wherever you go. You guys simply rock. Godspeed!
That sweet grandma just got her eyes' operation paid because she was kind without expecting anything in return. Just by sharing kindness and love so her new visitors and herself didn't feel lonely. Just by letting the universe do its job. Happiness really is a choice for sure. What a lesson. I hope to still be able to meet her one day and tell her how I got teared up watching this

This was literally SO heartwarming, to see an unknown country have such sweet people AND to win against the best football team in the world is amazing, even with the country being poor, the people have a spirit that not too many people have.
Fr those people seem so mide
And that country is poor, because of the economic blockade from capitalist countries. Same as North Korea and Cuba.
Their mutual aid is one of the reasons why they are still standing.
Little fact, country is not poor, they are rebuilding their city center which was not shown here and have backing from a bunch of rich sympathizers. last time i was there they started building quite a few modern tall buildings. my mom was there recently and they are starting to look more like a city than a backwater town
The mother must have been so happy to see someone who looked so much like her deceased son. Must have felt like fate for her and another chance to see him. gosh it made me cry buckets. ❤
She said that Thomas looked liker her other son, not the deceased one. It's still sweet nevertheless.
Thomas looks like Constantine, the healthy one. And Andrei was the deceased one.
Pain
It’s Andrei who passed away. This guy looks like Constantin.
That's probably why she immidiately invited them for tea, seeing someone look exactly like her son, though not the deceased one, probably moved her a lot.
19:12 every episode makes me cry at the end. Y’all are having incredible experiences and changing peoples lives that touch yours. I’m fully addicted to this channel now!
Yelena just filled my heart with so much love. The pain she still carries for her beloved son can be felt through the screen. I hope she is doing well....... We need more humans like the beautiful Yelena.
No, we don't! The guys who taped the video do not understand the local mentality and neither do you. It is vile!

Gosh I cried. Really. This is one of the most heartwarming and wholesome things I've seen in a long time. The babushkas and the people in general were so inviting and welcoming that made me cry for real. I really hope that the people of Transnistria can have their place under the sun respected and loved.

Can't believe that you two made that woman happier than she's ever been in her life, we're all proud of how far you've come boys :D
"Thank you grandson." And I'm crying like a baby. I love that she can't stop feeding them. It's totally a Grandma instinct. But what you did for her. She was right when she said from the very beginning God sent you to her.

I may be late to the party, but wow. Didn't expect to tear up today but I did. The fact that the old lady just took you in, no questions asked and treated you like family, and that you went ahead and paid her surgery, that's the sweetest thing I have seen on YT since a very long time. It kind of reminds me of my childhood when visiting my family in Poland in the late 2000's/early 10's, but amplified tenfold

I have a buddy from Transnistria. He travels on a Russian passport and most of the time when people ask where he's from he just says Russia. It's too much hassle to explain the truth. He has that same giving energy you see in this video. If he visits your house he repays you by fixing something that's broken, or doing whatever clean up or heavy lifting needs doing.

Russian people in generell are super lovely and helpful people, especiall the women but men too. See, each country has amazing , heartwarming people and traditions thats why we should give and take just the best of ourselves into the world to make it a better place for all of us :) PS most russians will also invite you to their home and actually give you lots of amazing food, alcohol if you want to and a place to sleep for how long you want to. Same goes for arab and turkish people, they all sit togather and me as a german in the middle of them eating from 1 big plate was such a good feeling , like family, like home, but with "foreign" people. Thats what friendship is all about.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ some do, some don’t.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ I think it is like in every culture. There will be racist people, but there will be supportive people. Same like asian people to other races and vice versa.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ as russian who lives in Russia, I can tell you that attitude of Russian people towards black people is strange. the strangest thing is that we dont really have a word for black people and the hard n word is somehow stayed for a word meaning black person but when we say that, we dont mean the same as American people there is not much racist component in it russians treat it as just a word.
second thing is that black people often participate in anecdotes and shit like that. also because of our ussr mentality, a lot of people from older generation started not liking black people because of blm lootings and because ghettos are usually the most criminal places in USA cities, they just don’t have internet to see what are the reasons of it and etc.
just want to say that if you are black in Russia, you will be feeling safe and calm, but sometimes people will point fingers at you because you are so different and say the hard n word but not meaning to somehow offend you. also you will get a lot of interest from younger generation and some of them will ask you for a photo or insta. (tbh when i myself first saw a black person, I behaved kinda same way because im not from Moscow and these things are rare af)

ive noticed a trend that basically every elderly person, that we see on camera at least, is the kindest person out there. while its obviously not only elderly people. to know they have lived through so much and still came out as giving, and accepting of others. is just nice to see all of the older people being seen and heard, when the sad reality is so many older people are just sort of forgotten by everyone around them, especially if they outlive all of the people they grew up with and built their lives with.
thanks, now im crying :")
Man you kinda broke me into pieces thanks..
Many of euro-descendant countries have this horrible culture "against" elderly people. If you take a look at latinamerican or asian cultures, you can see so so much respect and care is given to those older people, because at the end of the day it is them who are the wisest and that is something we should take care of. Really hope more people thought of family that way.
What an encouragement to watch! Thank you.

Well I am an Indian who had been to this country for 24 hours back in April 2024 and trust me guys the people I met were so welcoming; I was lost in the city and had no internet. I wanted to head back to Chisinau to my hostel and I had no clue on where I needed to board the bus, a shopkeeper got to know about my situation and asked one of his pals to look after his shop and accompanied me to the bus stand and spoke all the way on how good he felt that I had visited his country. These are the moments I travel for; a small gesture but it made my trip most memorable one❤

Imagine if the whole world was like this with people living in peace and treating strangers like their own family. Just beautiful.
If everyone tried dmt trip, there will be no war.
@@Arturs1984 ok, bro hogan 😂
thats only happens in leftist countrys, rightwings countrys are violent
As a person whose country had experienced communism, no. That shit ruined everything right here and it was one of the worst periods.
@@carlocolucci7022 Yup. On paper, communism is a fantastically obvious choice for an equal and near-utopic society.
Marx was brilliant, but he was also an optimist. It's just unfortunate that no matter where you introduce an element of human leadership, corruption follows, and communism is especially quick to collapse under it.
That grandma brings me to tears. Her struggle is unending yet she gives so much and cares for everyone with her whole heart. May God bless her on her journey
Y'all made this woman's day.
No, you made her life. She probably appreciated that time you spent with her, more than the money.
It actually seemed like it. Here in europe, people would absolutely FLIP their shit if given the equivalent to what she was given. Her reaction at the end when given the money makes me think she is a very very wise woman.
She realizes money for what it probably is, nothing. And also realizes the true worth of life, which is spending time living, together with people you love.
It seemed like she was lonely and missing her family. She probably has many grandchildren who all moved away.

i've noticed with your films (the one's i have seen thus far), it is the elders that have the gems...wisdom...love...
This is kind of openness was seen through out most of Eastern Europe especially during the Soviet era, when I was a kid everyone was always polite, friendly,giving and caring for each other because the life style of the people was community based. You won’t find this much in western societies because they were raised with regard only for them selfs and self benefits so I love it when they show Westerners come to the East and be surprised by the hospitality of its people much love from Latvia :)))
I find Russian people to be very hospitable and very respectful. It is highly unlikely for a stranger to speak badly of somebody, like in the UK for example. It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm additionally a big follower of this channel and I also make content with regards to life in Russia. for some reason the youtube algorithm has actually not been as kind to me yet. Nearly everybody who sees my material states that it is great, unfortunately very few get to enjoy it. Can you be brutally straight up and say exactly how I can improve my content? I value your honest point of view.
that's true to an extent, communism brought both the best and the worst in people and by the 1980's any sense of community and solidarity was gone.
you gotta be nice to your neighboor because they can make you disappear. communism work just like the building near the main street look nice but move in a little and you will see how ugly it is.
Heartwarming. But careful, some idiot would call you a communist for that
@@lncafein hahaha yeah had that before but honestly I don't mind. As someone who doesnt have a bad memory of growing up in communism. I know a lot of bad stuff happened but they happen in every regime no matter if they are democratic or authoritarian, fascist or communist, in my opinion the regime is just a name and the people in charge are the evil but thats an unpopular opinion.
I am literally in tears. This showed me that humanity still exists like the kindness and love they radiate is unbelievable and the way they make you feel loved amd wanted is just great. I would like to visit this country so much.
There should be more people like them, not only the 2 hosts with hearts of gold but also the locals, who were so friendly and lovely that I cant even begin to describe it. These kinds of videos makes anyone feel good about being human. Why arent these more popular than the negative news? They should be.
A country where people are so warmly friendly and ready to share the very little few they have, is a country ro respect
duh
@@onerottenpeach the one of the video, of course
@@onerottenpeachdid u watch the video?
@@philwanadoo7435 it’s not so duh. especially when it comes to americans. they see these types of cultures as a thing to exploit. always had.
@@mallarielove Yes we know and the russians are soooo nice and helpful.
I’m crying cause I miss my Balkan grandmother now .. This was genuinely beautiful to watch!
I got a little weepy hearing the sweet little old lady talk about her son who died, and just loved how sweet her (and a lot of people) are in this.
i think she said all 3 died
I literally cried after watching the last part. Her smile is so adorable, it reminds me of my grandma.
Wow. Didn’t expect people to be so friendly. Amazing! Thank you for another awesome video.
For real it's very profitable
I've been investing in Bitcoin by myself .
Please how do I get in contact with him ?
My first me profit of over $ 20,000 and ever since I have been with him
All this while I thought I was the only one trading with James trading services , seeing you speak of him has increased my trust for him
I lost about $ 2000 to a fake trader before was linked to expert Mr James and believe me he helped me recover the $ 2000 and made an extra $ 6000 in the space of a week and 4 days
These ppl are living their life like most of us. Huge respect! An big thank you to Eric! his Russian is still amazing,
No, they are not living like us. They are very poor people in a very poor country. But with very big heart.
Consumerism, wild capitalism, social media didn’t infected them, yet.
