- I PARTIED In The SOVIET UNION in 2023
Join me as we travel back in time to a long-gone era that fascinated me growing up.
We ventured into the suburbs of Yerevan to visit the Soviet Club of Armenia.
I was expecting to see a Soviet Museum but was in complete awe when I entered the building to find that the Soviet Union in this place was alive and kicking.
Set in an old Soviet silk Factory, everything in this building is 100% authentic, from the staff, the food, the furniture, the music, and the technology, and they even have an amazing collection of Soviet cars.
The owner, Haik, was an amazing host that gave me an experience that I will never forget. I could even say he made a dream of mine come true.
I was introduced to Haik’s friends and we enjoyed some amazing Armenian Cognac that dates back to 1976 and had an authentic Soviet meal. We then partied like it was 1989.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakuski and join me as we travel back in time and visit this last remaining Soviet Culture Center in Yerevan Armenia.

Best of the best video Justin brings memories of the 80 's . Armenians are very open minded
Thank you mate👍👌
Those were good times and it was an amazing trip down memory lane.
@@J.E.E Best years of my life in my home city Gdansk , in 1983 came to Gdansk my best new romantic group Ultravox and I have had a war with my Mom : I want money for ticket. My dream came true and I went to see Midge Ure - can You imagine Ultravox behind the Iron Curtain in 1983 and song "Hymn" and words :
Give us this day
All that you showed me
The power and the glory
'Til my kingdom come
You know what it was for us in these days under Russian "freedom"
Музей и люди уникальные. С удовольствием бы посетила это место. Спасибо, Джастин
Вам спасибо Марина.
Могу сказать что мне столько получилось этот место что буду опять через пару месяцев.
Кроме того что место очень интересная, мне очень понравилось хозяин его семья и команда который там работают 👌👍
Well, I studied the USSR and I can say that I respect this era very much. There were many disadvantages, but there were also many advantages, especially in engineering, science, education and construction. I'm glad to see that a lot has been preserved here. I talked with many Russians and they told me that they have mixed feelings - this is both nostalgia and resentment for the leadership of the USSR and sadness and delight. I asked, what are the more pluses or minuses in the USSR. All of them do not answer my question after a pause, that they remember those times definitely with positive emotions. I'm glad places like this still exist.
Thank you so much for your insightful comment.
It is an extremely complicated era and situation.
But I think it is more linked to nostalgia than any ideology!
Thank you for watching and commenting and all the best👍
WHAT DO YOU RESPECT ?/ LENIN'S OKKUPATION OF ARMENIA IN 1920 ?? YOU ARE PUTLER 'S AGENTS ! VOSSXVLYETE IMPERIYU ZLA --- SSSR ?????? VI VRAGI WILSONSKOY ARMENII ! SIKTIR ----- SOVIET ! XVATIT UZHE ! ETOT SSSR VISHIB VASHI MOZGI !
You seem so happy in Armenia! The people seem genuinely warm ❤

Yet again unique, authentic and fantastic video
Thank you mate for the support and the kind words... It fuels me to keep it up👌👍
Very nostalgic. Next time I visit Armenia, I will for sure visit this place.
Armenia is such a beautiful country with so much history and culture. I hope you have an amazing time when you visit and definitely make sure to check out this place. It's definitely worth a visit! Safe travels!👌👍
As an Armenian in England never new about this place. Cheers mate 🎉🎉🎉. Subscribed
Justin, you truly outdid yourself this time! I am in awe of that museum, so much history there, and such lovely people.
Incredible video mate. The cognac 40 years old must be a pleasure. Keep up the good work.
Oh mate it was amazing.
Great drinks, great food and great company!!! What more can you ask for?!?
@@J.E.E I am not normally a Cognac fan but I admit I am jealous you had it but happy for you! LOL
@@chubbawubba4287 👍👌🙏
Victory to Armenia 🇦🇲 😊
👍👌
@@J.E.E ❤ Thanks a lot Justin for making this vlog. Today I visited there and lived the moments of "Soviet Era"
"Nostalgic" word may not fit properly here because I was growing up far far away but I grew up listening about it from my grandparents and my parents
TBH My colleagues, friends and family jokes about me that I was born in a wrong place 😂
The best place for nostalgia.
Thank u Justin 🇦🇲✌️🇬🇧
L'ambiance est superbe dans ce club ! 😯😯Et pourtant il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde ! Les Arméniens savent faire la fête 😆
Bonjour Victor,
Je suis complètement d'accord avec toi, les Arméniens savent vivre.👌👍
@@J.E.Eу нас просто соседи заставляют нас ценить жизнь и ей радоваться

Long live the Armenians who managed to create such a paradise from the Soviet Union. Cheers, Justin!
You definitely partied like it was 1989 brother James 😎🥳🇺🇸👍❤️👏
Haha, you got me there! I may have busted a move or two like it was 1989, but let's just say the dance moves weren't as smooth as they used to be. Thanks for the comment, brother James! 🕺🏻🇺🇸️
Justin you're the best of British who could present Armenia and in fact whole post Soviet countries as a niche travel destination to English speaking world. Thank you
Fantastic stuff Justin
Thank you mate!
Love the classic arcade!
It was fantastic... Like going back to my youth👍👍👍
This channel is so underrated. Justin deserves a million plus followers. On another note, Bald and bankrupt would love this place 😂
Justin you’re on an amazing journey in life, and thanks for sharing your journey with us…wishing you safe travels
Thank you Leo, I am happy you are enjoying the content. Your comment means a lot as it helps support the channel👌👍
That was an amazing experience! I will definitely visit that place one day.
Thanks Justin. Today, I met the owner and "the saviour" of this era. I told him how I watched your vlog and got to know about this place 🎉
❤ Thanks a lot once again❤
Thanks for sharing!! 👍😃
thanks for video from Armenia!
I love it , so much work has been put in it !!!!
What an amazing experience! Super!
Fantastic ! Thanks Justin!
Such a positive video😀 amazing
it was pleasure to watch you journey! You did great job!
Been watching a few of your videos and decided to subscribe recently as I am loving the content! Great to hear the GDR mentioned at 17:19 I am a massive GDR enthusiast (mostly football) I also speak fluent German and go over to the former GDR a lot and I have actually seen an old East German Volkspolizei (people's police) Lada in a museum in Berlin (sadly not in working order like the Soviet one) would be great to see you do some content from the former GDR! Keep up the good work
Hello mate,
I am happy you are enjoying the content and thank you for subscribing.
Funny you mention the GDR as I am heading there next week!!!
Let me know if you have any specific places you suggest I explore.
All the best mate👍👌
Would 100% recommend a trip down to Halle Neustadt it was a city built for a the several chemical works in the area and is unique for the fact it doesn't have any street names. When you go it is like you have stepped foot in Siberia instead of Germany. Would also recommend exploring the districts of Hohenschoenhausen and Marzahn in Berlin as they are still properly East Berlin and you'll meet real East Berliners @@J.E.E
@@JackGillies thank you so much mate👍
Wow, what an amazing place and great people ! I would love to visit that place. Greetings from Georgia 🇬🇪
It really is!! You won't regret it!! 👍😃 Thanks for watching, my friend!!
Unbelievable man welcome to Armenia ❤❤❤🇦🇲🇦🇲
Браво Джастин, дай Бог вам здоровья.
Сона джан, моя милая девочка, совсем неожиданно и вполне ожидаемо увидела тебя и вашу замечательную семью именно в таком сюжете. Очень рада за вас! ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
Amazing video 👏 👏👏
One destination id love to see Justin visit is Kaliningrad, very few youtubers have been to that forgotten and mysterious Russian exclave
Stay tuned mate... I heard E-Visas will be available as of July👌👍
Yeah i also wanted to go there but then covid started :(
what a terrific vid justin! / je comprends mieux maintenant les russes qui pleurent l'èpoque de l'union sovietique car c'etait la vraie vie .Cheers! 🙌🥂🥂🥂🙌
Salut Sam,
Honnêtement je pense que la vie en général était mieux dans les années 80❤️
Aujourd'hui avec tout ce que l'on a, il manque une certaine connexion entre les gens
@@J.E.E of course Justin mais bon heureusement qu'il y'a des youtubeurs simples et honnetes comme toi pour nous redonner espoir 🙌👍👍👍🙌

No girls....I was in Leningrad 1982. There was vodka, shampanja and girls....We stayed in hotel Astoria, jee,jee Adolf Hitler wanted to have victory party there...famous hotel indeed.
Wow that sounds like an amazing experience...
Would love to hear more about this👍
During those days Finns visit CCCP Cos of cheap booze and girls, so called vodka turism. It was visible that system Will collapse, there wasn"t anything. Control on the border was round 5 hours, dispite of that we sold jeans and so on and changed currency.
Nowadays no entry there....
I think a lot of people in Armenia had a better life during the Soviet era
If they had System Of A Down playing, I would be head banging 🤘🏻
The Armenian boy from California👍
Awesome!
Thank you!👍😃
How did you find this place 😂
Well by chance actually, and I must say I was very fortunate.
If you get a chance visit this place, it is like a time machine👍
I am traveling to Yerevan by myself in October, and i will visit this place.

Джастин уже под кайфом столько выпили😄👍✌🇦🇲🇬🇧
Cheers 🤘🏻🍻❤️🇨🇦

That bathroom dryer! Is that different settings and you turn it on and off? 🤯 Why are we so stingy with ours? Even the oldschool ones with the big silver button you'd push and it would go for like 3 seconds at a time like it's trying to make you feel guilty about the environment
