Family is the most important thing some of us have lost sight of that. Pavlo you are lucky to have such a great family. A lot American men that would love to have a hard working, kind honest women like your auntie
What an absolutely wonderful video of your family and their history. TY so much Pavlo for sharing that with the world. I enjoyed that. Peace to Ukraine. 💙💛
Remember, there is no running water in the house, and you'd be using an outhouse in the middle of a winter. Pavlo is showing the village during the pleasant time of year. During winter or Rasputitsa season it is not going to seem near as idyllic.
@@tiki_trash In one shot he showed a house with a big pile of firewood, so it is available. The houses do have electricity so you could use space heaters, assuming the electricity isn't being cut off or rationed due to Russian strikes on powerplants.
@@FlintIronstag23 I'm sure there's someone in the village selling firewood. My parents went 2 decades with only a woodstove in Montana. They went to a central oil furnace for some time, but now it's all electric with air conditioning (heat exchanger or heat pump I forgot what it's called).
Same thing happens in the USA. My family had a farm. My mother born (1923) in a 1 room cabin. The family added on to the cabin over time. Life was hard back then. The young ones grew up and moved to the city for opportunity, higher education, and work. My grandmother even moved during WWII. She was a welder in the shipyard. She and my step grandfather even moved back to the farm when they retired. The last old ones on the farm passed away not to long ago. The old farmhouse has been empty for sometime now. I remember as a child there was still the outhouse (2 holler) and no indoor plumbing. Memories from a bygone era. People with money now buy these farms as a hobby to escape cities.
"Nature does not stand still, does not like emptiness." Your Mom's words are prophetic and so true. She is wise. Your Dad was a good-looking guy in the early photo's. Your Mom picked well for a husband, eh? Thanks for the tour.
heartwarming seeing everyone together and how sweet was the little boy who waved!! the sun in the countryside just shines differently I think.. thanks for another beautiful video filled with your family and their stories. Your Dad remains a legend- he's always so jovial and kind and he'll just do up his pants right there on camera, no pretenses! lol :D but really, in the time that I've learned about your country, it seems so full of genial and authentic people. I'm really glad I have been fortunate enough to learn about it.
All these wonderful abandoned houses if generations past. Were you hete before or is this your first time? The pictures are great. Your aunt paints a pretty bleak picture of modern village life. Your dad said it all. Let's get out of here before we get more upset. Bittersweet memories of times past. Prosperous times. I heard the neighbor say come inside. Be our guests. What lovely people. I can't say I understand Ukraine. But I would think that land would still have much value for young people . They could farm and own something of their own. I think eventually that trend will reverse and that land will become very valuable. One of the best videos you've ever done.
I'm happy that I can perhaps fulfill my dream of having my own farm and workshop in a quiet and remote area. I absolutely crave for quiet and peace! I tried in the Netherlands but failed because it's just to expensive and to many rules. I'm 45 year old metalworker and I have a small dissability pension although I'm working right now so not using it. But if I would want to I could live a good life in Ukraine! I am learning the language and can already understand many of the conversations you have about simple things like how is life for the people and what are the things around the house. If and when I will make the jump depends on things in my life, the war doesn't even bother me in that regard - although I hope for it to stop today. Stay strong. Za Nashu ta Vashu Svobodu!
The war has practical implications for your plans though, so you must consider it. There is a high chance this particular area returns to Russia after the war. Unless you obtained Ukrainian citizenship prior to the war ending this would put you in an uncertain situation. Russia requires a visa for most Westerners to even enter. Residency rules are different. You might be better off just buying in Russia to begin with (housing prices in provincial areas are not much different) rather than potentially having to deal with two different regimes. I would strongly advise against a foreigner buying property in Ukraine until the war is over and borders are finalized. Georgia, Bulgaria, and Romania are Black Sea adjacent alternatives but if looking at extreme rural property always take safety and law in to consideration. You must consider not just the safety of the country overall but the specific way law works in rural areas for a Westerner without a native wife. I would not live in remote rural Georgia, for example, without the security a Georgian wife and Georgian family would provide despite the fact Georgia is generally a very safe country and I wouldn't think twice about living in one of the larger cities like Tbilisi, Batumi, or Kutaisi.
@@scottwillie6389 Willie, thank you for the dissertation on Russian residency requirements. However, I must point out a major flaw in your logic. You say: " There is a high chance this particular area returns to Russia after the war." That isn't going to happen. In case you haven't noticed, Ukraine is gaining strength by the day and Russian economy is tanking. People overlook the fact that Ukraine was a major arms manufacturer for the Soviet Union, and they still have the industrial base and skill. Also, the future of war is in drone technology, and Ukraine will have over 200 companies building drones by years end. Also, the war is existential for the Ukrainians. It is stated Russian government policy that they will eliminate Ukraine as a state and the Ukrainian people as a whole. They are serious. Much of your advise is good, though, I will grant you that. Myself, cannot see why anyone would want to live in Russia. Have a good day!
@@scottwillie6389 If I understand correctly this is in the Zhytomir oblast, that borders Bellarus, not Russia and that is a very unlikely vector of attack because it's an area of peat and swamps. I would feel perfectly safe in most of the Northwest Ukrainian countryside except for the main city centers. I have been supporting Ukraine morally and financially since the beginning of the war, using Telegram, so I don't feel very safe in Russia to be honest. I speak already some Ukrainian and the culture feels more compatible to me than Bulgaria, Hungary or Georgia. So although those might not be bad options, my gut feeling says either the Baltics or Ukraine.
Oh my goodness, these videos touch my soul....and that part when your mom sees her old classmate was so heart warming.🤗🤗 The special memories that your family has of when they were growing up ❤Thank you and your family for sharing such special memories.
Love your family and your father has the best smile. Your mom works so hard and it was good to see her get a hug from her old classmate. They were right. Nature will take over if things aren't kept cut and cleaned. Such memories they must have. Thanks again for sharing and hope for peace.
A house built in the 1970's is not really so old, mine was built in 1910 but had probably been started about 10yrs earlier. I live in Sth. Australia. I think in a village like this with very few amenities then mostly ppl. in the past would've grown the vegetables they needed and tended a few goats or cows for milk, cheese and extra protein, if they had an excess then this could be sold for extra cash, but in this village no-one would've had much cash to spare. I think it is very 'quaint' but compared to modern housing of a low standard, but if a westerner or other person with a bit of savings wanted to move to a more peaceful/idyllic life then he/she would make some modifications for their comfort. If you could attract ppl. like that to your village then the whole village would benefit from the money that this would bring into the community. Also great for a small family wanting to live an 'alternative lifestyle.' For the older ppl. living there I'm surprised that there is no pension for them. 👎🏻 There seems to be a lot of land attached, can you say how big this is? My Qu. IS: is this house in the East or the West of Ukraine? 🤔 Thanks for an interesting video and the 'tour' I hope this video gives some ppl. and idea to move to a more slow-paced lifestyle. Slava Ukraine 💙💛 Glory to their Heroes 🎖
You have such nice family cherish time with them and learn so many lessons and hear wonderful stories of their childhood so that one day you may tell your children of how wonderful their lives were! It is sad that the villages are less people now it is like this in other countries too where small populations are smaller but some do stay from one generation to the next the air is cleaner and there is less pollution it is nice to visit and remember special times! Thank you for sharing and Slava Ukraini!💙💛💙💛
I love this channel. You are doing something really important by documenting these historical buildings and the memories that go with them. Bless you Pavlo.
Hello from St Louis. Missouri. Oh! I love your family! Yes sad to see how life cha ges but you all have wonderful memories. Now Pavlo your home will become the place where memories are made. And life goes on. Thank you for sharing your warm family with us. Peace health and love to all. 😘
Wow on how inexpensive the houses are there!!!! Beautiful area too. Really enjoyed seeing your family. Hope to see your Aunt again soon and parents. Stay safe everyone and well!!!
Hi Pavlo and family, It's such a sad thing when the old houses and the little villages start disappearing. Slowly many stories are lost and culture will suffer. I see your dad gets emotional about this too. Hopefully, someone will come up with a good idea to bring life back to the villages. Keep safe. SLAVA UKRAINI!!
I absolutely love Ukraine been there so many times, The people are so friendly and hospitable, how do you buy a house like this? I would love to restore it and live there with some chickens and a goat, thanks for sharing this!
Very moving. I find it impossible to see these homes without imagining a good life in such a place. Maybe one day people will move back. Land and the ability to produce one's own food may be more valued in the future, than it is now. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I've been there 4x before the invasion and really love the place and those nice people around...would love to come once this nightmare is over...love lots from the Philippines!😍
I loved this! The photos were great you look like your mam Pavlo! Also I ❤ your family Those houses would be great for ppl wanting an off grid lifestyle nowadays
Thank you so much for sharing this bit of your family history. We all have a similar tale. Two generations back it was more rural; Ranching and farming was the main econony. Now, much of everything in life has been mechanized, bringing the need to fill jobs in cities. Such a shame that life got more complicated with each new generation.😔😔😔
So fascinating! Lovely people. Sad to see what was a good home fallen to disrepair, but it served its purpose. I love that it’s somewhat of a time capsule of its last usage. I’m also, 59, born in 64. ❤️👑🏆🔱🇺🇦
Pavlo that was such a great informative video to watch, enjoyed seeing your ancestry of your mother father and grandparents. Very simple times they lived in. Reminds me a lot of my family heritage here in Utah, they were all farmers.
The world needs to understand that greed doesn’t want you even have the little bit that you have even if they don’t want it. Excellent video I could feel the love and nostalgia it is powerful. This is very similar as going back to where my mother grew up in Tennessee. They didn’t have much but Love and God’s beautiful country living. God Bless you Pavlo and your family for bringing real life to those who have never seen. They don’t know what they are missing. God fill you with his Love.☀️👍🙏🙏❤️🔥
What a beautiful village it could be if many people with a good pension or income came back and bought and did up all the houses and began some tourist things. She said it's only 35 km from the city. That's not far. A cafe and bakery etc could start again if gone.. The government should give grants to certain villages to encourage new life into them.
The houses may be cheap, but it would take a lot of money to modernize them. Most people are not going to want to live in a house with no running water or a toilet. The cost of installing a pressurized water system and a septic tank would be very expensive in relationship to the cost of buying the property.
Hard to know what she means by 35 km from the city. She might be calling a city something that only a regional town with 10,000 people so it might be hundreds of kilometres from a big city like Kyiv for example. My Dad purchased a house that was four hours drive from where we lived. So it was just a small town itself and the nearest town of any size was about 35 kilometres away and even that was probably only 5,000 people in that town. So it was way off the grid. I went there a few times when I was on travels out in the country. It was good to sleep overnight but if it was off the main highways so still had to drive half an hour off main route to get to it. So probably only went there four or five times a decade, My Dad eventually sold it about a decade or more ago. I remember I did use it one time basically as a place to go off grid for a week to study for upcoming exams when I was a uni student. But when I wanted to go anywhere really had to drive 30 or 40 minutes to a decent size town. It was probably an old house from the 1950s. Still had electricity and water but no internet connection or anything the last time I ever went there. The town itself had a pub and maybe a small shop open for a few hours a day but it mainly retirees that live there or local wheat farmers that stop at the pub at times. I'm sure in the 1930s to 1960s it had more families there but as time moves on so many things change the regional towns seems to slowly die out.
I am not in the US. Might be worse or about the same in Ukraine for all I know. Roads here are fairly decent even off road but I was on a road in Ukraine between Odesa and another regional city about an hour away and remember the roads were not great. A few potholes here and there so not the road funds to maintain that do here in my own country.@@TheBandit7613
I love this house. I could happily live there as it is. It's not a flash house by any means but it sure looks homely, which is exactly what i like to look for most of all in a house anyway. And the color scheme on the house even looks nice too and really suits this house. And the people there seem to be wonderful people. This country area seems perfect to my tastes too. But to be honest, ive been spoiled with climate where i live. And i'm not sure i would be hard enough to handle the cold in wintertime there that the resilient Ukrainian people can handle. I have trouble with blood flow in the cold for some reason. It's truly lovely to see your family together reminiscing of times past and of families loved ones. Love to you all 💕
@@TheBandit7613 yes. But i guess to live around warm hearted country lifestyle people also will help make this situation a little nicer. Its the same globally. Whether its America or Nordic country or Mongolia or anywhere else wherever the weather gets extremely cold
@@slimdusty6328I live in somewhat rural southern Nevada. Blessed to have good rural neighbors. No crime. Nice roads. Nice weather! Doesn't get cold enough for ice to form. Keeping a house warm in Ukraine can be expensive or a lot of work, or both. My family was originally from Norway. I wouldn't want to deal with that cold and wind. Such nice people in Ukraine. I very much support Ukraine. May god bless Ukraine.
I'm American living in the Atlanta area...my wife is from Irpin Ukraine...we plan to live in Ukraine 6 months of the year and in the States in the winter...I would love to find a place like this to restore.... when this terrible war is over we will try to find something...though my wife doesn't want to live in village...to me it would be great...Slava Ukraine...glory to the heroes
Thank you for the tour. Very curious about the inside of the house that is locked, maybe another time you can show us inside of it. You have such a nice family, I hope you visit them often. Have a good day.
This was a great video and a pleasure to watch but it was also sad to hear how it was going down hill and being so abandoned it is sad how things change and how bad things happen to good people it hurts me to see this may God be with you and bless you all love you from the🇺🇸🇺🇸☮✌my friend Pavlo
I could totally see myself living there... Garden is a bit small for me but hey... If there is a field in the area I would be happy... And 500 is not bad... Take care. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦✌🏻💛💙🇬🇧
Your mother is wise: "nature does not like emptiness" so so true! I keep telling that to people... It is rare for me to hear other people saying that too. Take care.
Looks just like my grandparents and great grandparents house in Czech 🇨🇿. They left it 1935 ( naztis invading) , of course my babushka refused to leave and refused to believe WW2. They told her "we are going to visit relatives in US" , so she said ok to vaca When they arrived to US , they tricked her and said we are never going back to czechslovkia 🇨🇿. My mom got that house back , sold it for 15k little farm house just like yours . In hindsight I wish I bought it from my mom , but the reasons why they had to leave , just too painful to even look at the house . It's been a 💔 for me to watch this awful war being done to my slav , neighbors the Ukrainian people 😥💔. 💙💛🇺🇸🇨🇿
There is something magical about there for some strange reason, it’s like the love of the past has been brought forward and still resides within. You can almost embrace the memories of your youth with every step you made through the simple but adorable house.
That house is actually in goood shape, structure is good. That house in my neighborhood just the single house at that condition is now about about 120K USD
The wood stove that is tiled into the wall is quite different than what you would see here in north Missouri USA. We have free standing or wood furnace that is connected to forced air ducts. You are in our thoughts. All the best.
Very nice, Pavlo So nice to see the family and in the old home place. I have roots in America much the same, with healthy family, like yours. Hoping we help your citizens to return peaceful living to your land. Sincerely Yours
High speed rail could help to bring these villages back to life. People generally want to live in the country, but also want the high paying jobs cities have to offer. This is the same issue in every country. Also, many villages and cities have been razed to the ground. Once people come back to the country, housing will be a problem. I can see a business opportunity of flipping homes in these villages. The destroyed villages could be rebuilt quickly with prefab homes, which are built with modern materials, energy efficient, and offer the same space as these existing homes in these villages. They are cheaper too.
My jaw dropped when I saw how cheap these houses are as compared to in my country. It would be a shame for them to fall into ruin. We call these sort of houses 'fixer-uppers' and it would not take much to restore them. Lovely to meet your family again, Pavlo. Wishing you all peace and good living. 💛💙
Is there a website that deals with properties that are for sale in Ukraine? If so, will it allow you to select the city or county? Will it give you a choice of apartment, house or land?
Pavlo. Your father is a very handsome man, but looking at the pictures of him years ago.......he was a heartbreaker. Girls were running after your father back then like crazy.
Mechanization eliminates tedious repetitive tasks that many farm hands once performed. It hit the U.S. decades earlier than in Soviet countries. Many little rural towns have dried up. Think of the little Texas town in the film "The last picture show".
I love ❤your videos Pavlo. Say hi to your aunt, mom and dad for me. Village life in Ukraine may be poor compared to city living but boy those villages are beautiful. Love❤from Canada. Slava Ukainii💙💛💪
Absolutley loved this video, country/village life is the best. Nothing better than having chickens (for eggs) a Cow for milk a large area for vegetables. Does it get very cold/snow in winter in this part of your Country?. These are the types of nostalgia I love. I also wish peace for the people in this village. Best regards from Australia.
Best of life: top post, what youtube should be all about. Small town economy situation is similar here in Massachusetts: it is difficult for the villages to avoid becoming a "bedroom community", where all the jobs are a drive 20 - 50 minutes away.

Is there a possibility to buy land or houses?
Ukraine 🇺🇦 in the 1950s was colorful beautiful houses with the colors.
You have to be a citizen thereI believe. To get one marry some one there or have a baby 😂

Very moving. I find it impossible to see these homes without imagining a good life in such a place. Maybe one day people will move back. Land and the ability to produce one's own food may be more valued in the future, than it is now. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I've been there 4x before the invasion and really love the place and those nice people around...would love to come once this nightmare is over...love lots from the Philippines!😍
Thank you Pavlo, beautiful countryside! Sending love to you & your family from UK. Peace.
♥Thank you guys,peace from Ireland
Thank you Pavlo, you make us part of your family.
I loved this! The photos were great you look like your mam Pavlo!
Also I ❤ your family
Those houses would be great for ppl wanting an off grid lifestyle nowadays
Thank you so much for sharing this bit of your family history. We all have a similar tale. Two generations back it was more rural; Ranching and farming was the main econony. Now, much of everything in life has been mechanized, bringing the need to fill jobs in cities. Such a shame that life got more complicated with each new generation.😔😔😔
Your family is great. Thank your for sharingtis video. 💙💛
So fascinating! Lovely people. Sad to see what was a good home fallen to disrepair, but it served its purpose. I love that it’s somewhat of a time capsule of its last usage. I’m also, 59, born in 64. ❤️👑🏆🔱🇺🇦
It is so great that you document this history...
Pavlo that was such a great informative video to watch, enjoyed seeing your ancestry of your mother father and grandparents. Very simple times they lived in. Reminds me a lot of my family heritage here in Utah, they were all farmers.
The world needs to understand that greed doesn’t want you even have the little bit that you have even if they don’t want it. Excellent video I could feel the love and nostalgia it is powerful. This is very similar as going back to where my mother grew up in Tennessee. They didn’t have much but Love and God’s beautiful country living. God Bless you Pavlo and your family for bringing real life to those who have never seen. They don’t know what they are missing. God fill you with his Love.☀️👍🙏🙏❤️🔥
What a sweet family.....thanks for taking us along .
Just normal people, and that really is the best compliment you can get. Your parents remind me of my grandparents and parents.
Glad to see recent video from you. Stay safe God bless
Lovely family. I wish you all the best. With love from Scotland
Thoughly enjoy watching your family history, very sad in a way. But very nice to see you together and happy. Love from the UK.
What a beautiful village it could be if many people with a good pension or income came back and bought and did up all the houses and began some tourist things.
She said it's only 35 km from the city. That's not far.
A cafe and bakery etc could start again if gone..
The government should give grants to certain villages to encourage new life into them.
The houses may be cheap, but it would take a lot of money to modernize them. Most people are not going to want to live in a house with no running water or a toilet. The cost of installing a pressurized water system and a septic tank would be very expensive in relationship to the cost of buying the property.
These people don't have cars, where will they shop?
Brutal winter weather.
The Ukraine government doesn't have the money to subsidize small towns.
Hard to know what she means by 35 km from the city. She might be calling a city something that only a regional town with 10,000 people so it might be hundreds of kilometres from a big city like Kyiv for example. My Dad purchased a house that was four hours drive from where we lived. So it was just a small town itself and the nearest town of any size was about 35 kilometres away and even that was probably only 5,000 people in that town. So it was way off the grid. I went there a few times when I was on travels out in the country. It was good to sleep overnight but if it was off the main highways so still had to drive half an hour off main route to get to it. So probably only went there four or five times a decade, My Dad eventually sold it about a decade or more ago. I remember I did use it one time basically as a place to go off grid for a week to study for upcoming exams when I was a uni student. But when I wanted to go anywhere really had to drive 30 or 40 minutes to a decent size town. It was probably an old house from the 1950s. Still had electricity and water but no internet connection or anything the last time I ever went there. The town itself had a pub and maybe a small shop open for a few hours a day but it mainly retirees that live there or local wheat farmers that stop at the pub at times. I'm sure in the 1930s to 1960s it had more families there but as time moves on so many things change the regional towns seems to slowly die out.
@@shaundgb7367 And those roads are not like US interstate.
I am not in the US. Might be worse or about the same in Ukraine for all I know. Roads here are fairly decent even off road but I was on a road in Ukraine between Odesa and another regional city about an hour away and remember the roads were not great. A few potholes here and there so not the road funds to maintain that do here in my own country.@@TheBandit7613
Thank you so much for sharing, Pavlo.🙏 You have a very nice family. Good luck to you all, and to all the people in Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!✊🇺🇦💙💛🌻🌻🇺🇸
I love this house. I could happily live there as it is. It's not a flash house by any means but it sure looks homely, which is exactly what i like to look for most of all in a house anyway. And the color scheme on the house even looks nice too and really suits this house. And the people there seem to be wonderful people. This country area seems perfect to my tastes too. But to be honest, ive been spoiled with climate where i live. And i'm not sure i would be hard enough to handle the cold in wintertime there that the resilient Ukrainian people can handle. I have trouble with blood flow in the cold for some reason. It's truly lovely to see your family together reminiscing of times past and of families loved ones. Love to you all 💕
Ukraine winter would drive you out. Vicious weather.
Slimdusty, Where do you live?
@@Grumpyoldman037 down in the south Pacific
@@TheBandit7613 yes. But i guess to live around warm hearted country lifestyle people also will help make this situation a little nicer. Its the same globally. Whether its America or Nordic country or Mongolia or anywhere else wherever the weather gets extremely cold
@@slimdusty6328I live in somewhat rural southern Nevada.
Blessed to have good rural neighbors. No crime. Nice roads. Nice weather!
Doesn't get cold enough for ice to form.
Keeping a house warm in Ukraine can be expensive or a lot of work, or both. My family was originally from Norway. I wouldn't want to deal with that cold and wind.
Such nice people in Ukraine. I very much support Ukraine. May god bless Ukraine.
I'm American living in the Atlanta area...my wife is from Irpin Ukraine...we plan to live in Ukraine 6 months of the year and in the States in the winter...I would love to find a place like this to restore.... when this terrible war is over we will try to find something...though my wife doesn't want to live in village...to me it would be great...Slava Ukraine...glory to the heroes
Hi from Marietta. Go Braves.
You ruin your remark by taking sides in a brother war that’s not very smart
Eeeeeeeee
The houses are lovely I like the simple way of life ❤️ and enjoy the videos of yourself and your family.
Thank you for the tour. Very curious about the inside of the house that is locked, maybe another time you can show us inside of it. You have such a nice family, I hope you visit them often. Have a good day.
Pavlo, as always, a wonderful video journey with you. I can’t wait to one day visit you & your family in your village.
Another wonderful video. Thank you for letting us be your guests.
This was a great video and a pleasure to watch but it was also sad to hear how it was going down hill and being so abandoned it is sad how things change and how bad things happen to good people it hurts me to see this may God be with you and bless you all love you from the🇺🇸🇺🇸☮✌my friend Pavlo
Your parents and aunt are beautiful people. Thank you for.the look back in time.
Looking at those earlier pictures of your family its clear to see you look just like your mum.Great episode.
Nice video. Very warm and loving. Thank you for sharing.
The house looked so much in order inside, we were pleasantly surprised ❤.
I could totally see myself living there... Garden is a bit small for me but hey... If there is a field in the area I would be happy... And 500 is not bad...
Take care. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦✌🏻💛💙🇬🇧
Your mother is wise: "nature does not like emptiness" so so true! I keep telling that to people... It is rare for me to hear other people saying that too. Take care.
Looks just like my grandparents and great grandparents house in Czech 🇨🇿. They left it 1935 ( naztis invading) , of course my babushka refused to leave and refused to believe WW2. They told her "we are going to visit relatives in US" , so she said ok to vaca When they arrived to US , they tricked her and said we are never going back to czechslovkia 🇨🇿. My mom got that house back , sold it for 15k little farm house just like yours . In hindsight I wish I bought it from my mom , but the reasons why they had to leave , just too painful to even look at the house . It's been a 💔 for me to watch this awful war being done to my slav , neighbors the Ukrainian people 😥💔. 💙💛🇺🇸🇨🇿
There is something magical about there for some strange reason, it’s like the love of the past has been brought forward and still resides within. You can almost embrace the memories of your youth with every step you made through the simple but adorable house.
Thank you Pavlo for sharing this with us. Very good video we enjoyed.
That was a great video Pavlo. You have an absolutely beautiful family. Peace to you my friend.
Such a beautiful video. It makes me sad to hear that the villages are dying.
Very nice place❤️
Always Watching some of your vlogs whenever i have time,,quite beautiful village you got there,,,and praying for Ukraine..From Philippines..🙏❤️❤️
Thanks!
This is genuinely interesting Pavlo. Thank you for letting us see this.
Loved the video! So warm! Greetings from Romania. Ukrainian people are so cool
That house is actually in goood shape, structure is good. That house in my neighborhood just the single house at that condition is now about about 120K USD
You are blessed more then you realize! You and your family know what’s important. Which is just lost on so many!
The wood stove that is tiled into the wall is quite different than what you would see here in north Missouri USA. We have free standing or wood furnace that is connected to forced air ducts. You are in our thoughts. All the best.
Those stoves are called mass stoves. Very efficient. It heats the brick and concrete and radiates heat.
I liked seeing the old family pictures, what a handsome bunch!
This was really beautiful Pavlo. Such a wonderful family ❤
Thank you to you and your family for sharing this 👍 🙏 🇬🇧
Very nice, Pavlo
So nice to see the family and in the old home place.
I have roots in America much the same, with healthy family, like yours.
Hoping we help your citizens to return peaceful living to your land.
Sincerely Yours
Wish you and your all family all the best and peace. God bless you all.
High speed rail could help to bring these villages back to life. People generally want to live in the country, but also want the high paying jobs cities have to offer. This is the same issue in every country. Also, many villages and cities have been razed to the ground. Once people come back to the country, housing will be a problem. I can see a business opportunity of flipping homes in these villages. The destroyed villages could be rebuilt quickly with prefab homes, which are built with modern materials, energy efficient, and offer the same space as these existing homes in these villages. They are cheaper too.
Talk about bring back memories ❤ I can hear your parents say those were the good old days ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Pavlo and Luba !! Love your videos. You should do them more often. And get Luba to talk more....
I used to have in-laws who lived in a really small town in Mississippi. Your village reminds me of there.
My jaw dropped when I saw how cheap these houses are as compared to in my country. It would be a shame for them to fall into ruin. We call these sort of houses 'fixer-uppers' and it would not take much to restore them.
Lovely to meet your family again, Pavlo. Wishing you all peace and good living. 💛💙
Is there a website that deals with properties that are for sale in Ukraine? If so, will it allow you to select the city or county? Will it give you a choice of apartment, house or land?
Pavlo. Your father is a very handsome man, but looking at the pictures of him years ago.......he was a heartbreaker. Girls were running after your father back then like crazy.
Lovely story told. Thanks
Such a simple life. Love it. Large area for growing things, and not much in the way of taxes, I'm sure.😍
Beautiful family, your parents and aunt are still young and in good shape.
cool video thank u and your family for sharing the family home
Mechanization eliminates tedious repetitive tasks that many farm hands once performed. It hit the U.S. decades earlier than in Soviet countries. Many little rural towns have dried up. Think of the little Texas town in the film "The last picture show".
Beautiful video,thanks!
I love ❤your videos Pavlo. Say hi to your aunt, mom and dad for me. Village life in Ukraine may be poor compared to city living but boy those villages are beautiful. Love❤from Canada. Slava Ukainii💙💛💪
HELLO AND THANKS FOR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL VIDEO GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Another great vid! Stay safe!
Absolutley loved this video, country/village life is the best. Nothing better than having chickens (for eggs) a Cow for milk a large area for vegetables. Does it get very cold/snow in winter in this part of your Country?. These are the types of nostalgia I love. I also wish peace for the people in this village. Best regards from Australia.
Unfortunately no one wants to move there but it looks awesome and a beautiful setting. It would be a dream come true 😢
A lovely peaceful place.
Best of life: top post, what youtube should be all about. Small town economy situation is similar here in Massachusetts: it is difficult for the villages to avoid becoming a "bedroom community", where all the jobs are a drive 20 - 50 minutes away.
