its like history change places from time to time and we dont talk about Mongolia outside of Genghis kan era, like nothing happened there (if there is no war).
Passed through Mongolia a few years back on a Moscow/Beijing train journey. Didn't stop there, but what impressed me most about Ulaanbaatar were the yurts on the slopes of the hills surrounding the city. It felt very evocative - the old life and the new, two aspects of Mongolia in one place!
@@thequackattack7704 kinda weird that the USSR didn't bother annexing Mongolia, (Inner) Manchuria, North Korea, and the East Turkestan People's Republic Altai-Buryatia-Tuva-Mongolia-Chita would be a good "Mongolia SFSR", then Outer Manchuria and Inner Manchuria would be a "Manchuria SFSR"
Sadly. i think it's an interesting country in its own right from its culture to its unique geographical features. Would love to visite it some time in the future because of my interest in studying its history and how the socialist system functioned in it.

The production quality is amazing, i have no idea how this only has 20k and not over 500k views. Amazing video! I know little to nothing about Mongolia compared to the previously Soviet occupied Eastern European nations soo im always keen to learn more about them! Keep up the good work definitely turning on my notifications!
Your storytelling has always been on point, but your production values have just got better and better - the continuous shot starting with you from an abandoned soviet accomodation block using a drone was top notch! More on this fascinating country please.

Quite interesting, the documentary style is good - like something I'd expect to see on the telly except its without the presenters repeatedly positioning themselves against the politics of the country. I'm not sure what the filming rules are in different countries but I'd be interested in some videos from nearby china or further afield vietnam, maybe your portfolio would help you make your case to anyone who wanted to know more about your filming
Great video I was looking for this type of video for a while So energetic and well made loved your documentry style Now I've got a new goal in my life visit The Soviet Mongolia
Great scenery, great storytelling. Full credit to you. I really enjoyed this rarely explored topic. P.S. that drone footage is fantastic. I’ll be back.
Love the work you're doing.... Really deserve more views and subscribers... Top notch...Just Like Bald & Bankrupt..... You're one of the best in your field...
This was a great video and while I subscribed for the North Korean content initially this made me very curious about more videos on other aspects of Mongolias recent history as well as the other Central Asian countries. Information on these countries is sparce because they aren't very significant in our current world order by most metrics. Considering the incredible impact on world history the inhabitants of Central Asia had it'd be great to see more about their recent history.
Thanks for being educational with out being in your face educational. Thanks for adventuring while giving us a history lesson. Why has the algorithm hid you from me for so long!
Democratic Republic of Afghanistan seems like an interesting video idea. However I’m very interested in the Mongolian People’s Army. In Afghanistan, we have an ethnicity that are descendants of the Mongols in Afghanistan all the way back then, and they’re known as the Hazara people.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd be extremely interested in a short video on Stalin era Mongolia, we always hear about interwar European Russia and to a lesser extent Siberia but I know almost nothing about what was going on in the southern republics and satellite states at that point.
Great vid! I’d love to see more things about say Mongolia, the USSR, Vietnam or the People’s Republic of China! But the DPRK content you make is also great. Keep up the good work!
Not a sandy desert, primarily. Mostly scrubland. Also this video is only really on the fringes of the Gobi. I'll potentially do something in the future properly down in the desert near Sainshand.
Scrubland, that makes sense. And Kudos on the sudden increase in production quality! (Camera motion could still be slightly improved though, it's a bit rigid in some places, 9:04, and try less shaking when moving around places such as stairs) (or it could just be my laptop)
The production quality have gone significantly up. I really enjoy watching your videos they're very informative keep it up! I would certainly love to learn more about this socialist experiment
you also need to put translating subtitles in other languages such as Portuguese, Spanish and German. surely the reach of the videos will be greater as well as the number of subscribers on the DPRK Explained Channel. Hugs from Brazil.
Hey, i really liked the music you used for this video! Any chance to cite the mongolian and ambient track names? 😁 Also, where is the best way to look for soviet-era footage? There are rarely any videos about MON in YT in general...
Thanks to the non-aggression-treaty with germany, Stalin was able to defeat the japanese army at Khalkhin Gol, Mongolia in 1939. The diversion of Sovietunion and China started because of the XX. party congress of the CPSU and because of the anticommunist Krushev.
Thanks to Ribbentrop - Molotov Pact aka Nazi Germany - Soviet Union Friendship Treaty, sovereign nations of Estonia, Latvia Lithuania and Eastern Poland was occupied by Nazi ally Soviet Union. As a Lithuania who lost multiple family members to executions and forcibly deportation to slave Labour Camps, i can say that USSR did only one great thing, and that is, it collapsed and proved how Socialism, Marxism and Communism are brain dead ideas for brainwashed masses.
Nah, it happened because Mao was an absolute nutter. Khreschev, like other leaders of his generation, was a committed communist, but he was also interested in stability. The Soviets and Western leaders had serious differences and constantly sought to undermine each other, but they played by certain rules and remained within certain boundaries. It doesn't hurt that the Chinese were unhappy with being the junior partner in the former alliance. They didn't care that much about ideology, but they did care about being so much weaker and so reliant on the Soviets.
@@Bunnyroo7 Nah, its happened because Kruschev was a traitor and a liar, and he didnt managed to build soviet economy properly, promoting ecnomic policies not so "socialist". Chinese were only smart to see what Kruschev was really like and want nothing with him.
Interested! I really like a band, the Hu, from Mongolia, and all the space and sky there. My favorite thing to do in my VR headset is watch 360 degree Mongol horse racing. Wasn’t aware of the very close ties to the USSR. I thought Mongolia pretty much did their own thing and the USSR just took their resources
I would absolutely love it if you did a Mongolia Explained series, would love to learn a lot more about a country that has captured my imagination from the Grand Tour’s special there, sadly that’s hardly a factual documentary…!
Central-Asia really is a part of the world that is rarely covered on RUclips, seems like a mysterious and interesting place. Well, I know Mongolia is East but many of the ex-Soviet countries like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyztan are similar if you know what I mean... Big mountain ranges, steppe, shared commie history...
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan are similar because they are basically the same people, other Central Asian states are also Turkic and Muslim, but Mongolia is neither Turkic nor Muslim, nor was it a part of the USSR.
I read somewhere in the internet that socialist mongolian government asked soviets to join USSR, but soviet government would have refused since Mongolia isnt a historic russian territory.

I wouldnt mind a "mongolia explained" either ngl
