Would You Cross This Russian Border By Train? 🇷🇺

- 🇷🇺 With the Russian winter slowly moving in I bought a ticket on the international train heading across Russia's southern border into the country of Azerbaijan and it's surprisingly modern capital of Baku. Join me as we skirt the banks of the Caspain Sea and head into Asia.
Bald, you’re the only person to ever hope for another stranger to arrive to share the train cabin.
@Larry David soviet hotties are certainly babushkas now. Good luck to you! :D
Bald loves Babushkas
@Larry David Or a police lady
Thank you for offering to pay for the elderly woman's meal. You have a good heart sir.
Bald arrives in a modern, clean city. Disgusted.
He's genuinely pissed that he got a nice and modern hotel room
Policeman at 10:33 points in Bald's direction and says "American".
I think part of Bald's mystique is that he just vanishes and reappears at random times with no explanation, kind of like a stray cat!
With these long gaps, I wonder if he's meeting with old or new girl friends.
listening to carnal desires naturally.
a lot of his travels are inane walks or getting shouted at by locals
He reports back to his communist slave driver and gets tortured.
He's the 15th Doctor, he just upgraded his Tardis to a Russian train.
People in Dagestan: Look at our new bus station!
Bald: *D I S G U S T I N G*
Guaranteed words in this video:
Soviet
Babushka
Train
Province
Station
Stalin
Keep up the good work Mr Bald!👍🏼
100% accuracy.
Only 4 Soviets this video
Хаха очень смешно

@Lee Trelford, you forgot Coppers....
"My little piece of gold" soviet babushka had me in tears
Hey Bald, I'm from Azerbaijan and I am so excited to see you here! I live in a northern town called Gakh. After exploring Baku, if possible, hit up the train and come to Sheki (it is a nice place for tourists) and then I can host and guide you in Sheki and Gakh (they are 30 minutes of driving apart) for a couple of days. You shouldn't leave Azerbaijan before seeing the north! I'm sure you would love it!
P.S. Please like this comment so that he can see this, thanks in advance!
Let's hope he will do 🇦🇿
Hi Sovet Brother, I guess you may reach him on other social nets. With love from the North.
Harold approved
Maybe a strange question, but could you show us what you bring with you when you travel? I'm always surprised to see that you travel for very long periods with only one small backpack! 😮
OK Tim I'll do one around Christmas time after this little trip
My favourite travel blogger. I thought its just me hunting for soviet heritage, as most of russians doesn't value it.
A nice act offering to pay for the old Ladies lunch....acts of such kindness are so lacking in today's world...bless you..
I cried when he had to say goodbye to Soviet Sink 😭
I'm an german speaking austrian🇦🇹
10 years after I study English, I finally know why: to watch and understand these videos!
Great contet, i love it
Filling out a customs declaration in a language you can't read sounds like a good way to end up in some kind of interrogation by police.
Bald has a good narrator voice. He's sounds like a David Attenborough of travel films.
I'd like to sound more like David Bellamy.
Soviet Sink will be missed
ReturddL L technically it's not a soviet 100% as there were no plastic pipes during soviet time.
Sam Hyde for life
I need a gf that kicks me, like Sam kick his fans.
You probably could've bought it for 2 bucks. And paid for someone to carry it around for you.
@@mykolakanyuk They replaced the pipes, left the sink...
"No wife or girlfriend?" "Oh my little piece of gold!" The soup lady wanted to have a little piece of bald
Imagine seeing some random English man speaking to a damn sink haha!
Ben, I've just finished watching every single one of your videos from first to last and I loved every second. Thank you for taking the time to create all of them and taking us all with you.
every time feel so relieved to see you are still alive.
your russian improved so much man it’s unbelievable
It's an understandable Russian, but I don't see a lot of remarkable development on his pronunciation or grammar!
Herr Freier Mann shut the fuck up idiot
you’d be the coolest dude to travel with honestly
The adventures of Mi6
“There’s the Caspian Sea”
*Is a field*
The lake is blue and blends in with the sky but is just about visible beyond the field
Maybe it's dried up from climate change.
@@the_saucisson The sea is wide, spread
And the waves are raging in the distance.
Comrade, we drive far
Away from our land.
Can not be heard on the deck of songs
And the Red Sea is noisy
And the shore and is dark and cramped,
How remember, so the heart hurts.
@@richardvass1462 or used top notch soviet technology.
@@richardvass1462 Oh that's why it's 121 meters below sea level!
First thing to ask entering new country:
- Where are alcoholics?
In Balds Hotel room.
Remember he also asked about vodka on the train 😂
Дома
Fine, no Vodka, where's the damn Coca Leaves, I'm having trouble breathing.
@@JesusisJesus omg Jesus is watching bald. Did his self-destructive tendencies start to worry heaven? 😇😂
Sad that your 2019 tour of Russia ends, we won't be able to see more on Russia, anyway enjoyed every vlog of yours. Stay Blessed
Did anyone else notice the lady wave back at bald when he said thank you Russia 7:09 😂😂
"My sweet piece of gold ", what a beautiful heart the lady has.😍
Oh my little piece of gold !
😄
Obviously missed a Chance. :D
I find it curious he never showed her on camera . Obviously competition for Alina
@@Olle_Svenska I sort of thought she wanted to sample his gold nuggets
Everybody in the world: Hooray, I'm on my own in the train!
Bald: Hopefully somebody’s gonna turn up so we can have a little chat 😂
@Zero Cool ok zoomer
*Attendance*
Normal people: present.
Bald: alive
a-t-t-e-n-d-a-n-c-e
Jai Karnataka
Bald in early videos: "My name is Harold."
Fuck it, that's to hard for these people....
Bald Now: "My name is Ben-jar-min." - "Ohhhhhh. That must be royalty in England land."
this man radiates extrovert energies
6:22 Could never imagine being that extroverted! 😂
4:36 her response made me happy. The world needs more of this
Hay Bald , finally u arrived my city and I have been waiting for this day. If u need any kind of help let me know ! Good luck in ur journey
Damn that Babushka was so skinny at 4:22 just look at her face. It literally breaks my heart.
That chicken soup looked really good. My great grandmother was from Poland and she made soup that thick and full. Great video.
I’ve lived in Baku most of my life, so I think I know what are the best places to visit. It’s quite chilly at the moment but you can go visit fountain square (that’s where most people hang out), also don’t forget about the old city which is located close to fountain square. But for a tourist like you I reckon you go outskirts to cities like Sheki, Qabala and Qusar(best kebabs in my opinion). If you have extra time, go visit the highest located viillage in Europe, Khinalug. Have a nice trip Bald!
Oh my little piece of gold - what a lovely thing to say ♡
6:55 Notice how he says "Chechnya" reffering with his eyes behind the sunglasses to adventures he had there that have not been told on his channel. Yet :P
So when is this guy going to get the recognition he deserves? Like actually, he could be a BBC channel show
Slav Pepe He has 1.2 M subscribers in a year and a half. That's his recognition.
Please no, that will ruin this channel
BBC are cunts. So no
no never - bbc would ruin his style completely - his harsh humour would offend too many people anyway
I swear this man gets all the action we wish to see
I’ve only recently started watching and I’m hooked on this travel series. Honestly I’m sad to see him leaving Russia. It was a hell of an adventure and I enjoyed all the videos.
The way you lean into new situations and challenges is inspiring. Much love Bald
Dear Benjamin,
thank you for the great and wonderful journey you have been taking us with to. It’s such a pleasure to follow you and share all the positiv moments and sometimes also moments of frustration.
Recently you,ve entered my home country, Azerbaijan, which you are always welcomed in!
I wish you will explore a lot interesting places over there and meet some interesting personalities.
But the reason I’m appealing to you in this comment is the attempt to warn you about some possible negative issues which has already happened to one dagestani/ armenian blogger, who has been visiting some tiny villages at the boarder to Iran and other abandoned places in Azerbaijan. His name is Vlad Movsesjan.
In fact, quite at the end of his journey in Azerbaijan he had been held for an Armenian spy and got in some huge troubles including some unknown people chasing him right to the boarder :))
So please please please!!! be aware of that!!! And do not say that you gonna travel to Armenia next :)) your words could be interpreted in completely wrong. And please don’t even get close to Nagorni Karabach district. And if you gonna do it, then please don’t go back in Azerbaijan, cause you will get arrested.
I will never forgive it to myself if you get in trouble over there :)
Here is the link to the Vlads vlog FYI. So please take a look and stay safe! ;)

I'm crossing Russia solo, man. You are doing great, man and I hope we get a chance for a collaboration 👍🏼
Emiliya Kazantseva don’t be unnecessarily hostile
@Emiliya Kazantseva You're nobody, and RJinspire is an awesome youtuber
@@morphkogan8627 not necessarily
Nice channel, subscribed
@Emiliya Kazantseva he's not nobody. Same as you are not nobody.
How to make friends in one simple step:
1. Be on the same train station as Bald
The restaurant's owner lady was so nice!
He goes to show that there are nice people wherever he goes.
So nice of the lady giving her a free meal
You were a gent offering to pay for the ladies meal, wish there was a bit more of that here in the UK. I'm going to miss your Russian adventures, but look forward to your upcoming adventures in Asia👍😊.
Lonerider 77 isn’t he like... from the uk? I think most western people wouldn’t hesitate to pay in that situation to be honest. Most of us are not used to that level of poverty and sadness.
@@Thesupermachine2000 That and also a meal is going to cost a lot more than 0.70$ in any western european country.
I think offering to buy somebody a meal in the United Kingdom is pretty expensive when compared to what this man was offering to buy this lady in Baku. And the level of poverty in some of these countries that honestly don't do very well taking care of the elderly that are unable to work is shocking.
damn he's alive!
Lol
were you trying to kill him?
Please visit my acc and help me to reach 1k
My Channel is new
Hahah true
As we say in Sweden. "Ont krut förgås inte så lätt" or "Dårar och fyllbultar klarar sig alltid" 🤭😂
Man, I'm Russian (Siberia, Altai krai) and I really wish I could ride about with Bald here, maybe be the interpreter/tour guide, but on the other hand
he's getting so eerily good at speaking Russian, and is often so clued in on history of the places he visits, that I doubt he needs either one.
Oh my little piece of gold sounds like southern usa’s bless your heart
arrives to Baku, first question: "WHERE ARE THE HOMELESS PEOPLE???"
All living in French train stations :)
the gopniks with vodka and semechki lol
when you have a large family, you will be welcomed in many different homes that don't charge rent
4:34 that was lovely and generous from both of you 😍
Stresses me out when you leave your stuff in the train to go out every now and then 😅
This man has the best travel videos , raw and real ,
I’ve watched loads of this guys videos and it never ceases to amaze me the sense of adventure this fellas got, it must take a lot of bottle to just jump on a train and just “go off” to a foreign country. Stay safe buddy.
When he said saying goodbye to your friend and mine we all hoped to see mr. 100 rubles.. XD
Ryan Edwards haha "Mr.100 rubles" I'm dying XD. That moment was definitely the best part of the previous video.
why did i read it as "mr. cto ruble"
i was kind of hoping for a piss-up with Kolya.
@@JesusisJesus me too
Jesus me too
I love you Bald, you allways makes me smile and makes me want to travel and see the world. Your kindness and ability to speak to each and everyone you meet on your way, i'm totally jealouse on you. You are a truly inspiration!
Ok baldy I lived in Baku 3 years. Get yourself to Shakespeare’s bar best curry in town, also check out the bar below it underground, best flaming sambuka
You have to check out the flame towers and the flag also. Also get a cab up to 6 parallel street near the hyat regence great bars around there. My office was close. I worked offshore on the platforms in the Caspian.
Wow, that sounds like a must do.
and you have to film the old London black cabs they bought up to use in Baku.
I visited Baku this April. The Architecture is stunning. The old city, the center, the beachfront and of course the Heydar Aliyev center are all a must. Unfortunately, Azerbaijan is a classic example of an extravagant dictator who likes showing off by constructing mega structures, whereas most of the people are dirt poor and the amount of police on the streets leave you in no doubt that you're in a police state.
What a wonderful reply, and even the replies to your reply. It's a small world
Who else been addicted to his travel channel?
So glad you’re in Azerbaijan now. I’m an American and my wife was born and raised in Baku. We’re both so excited to see this new series! My wife says to try some cafes in the old city for traditional Azerbaijan food. The tarragon soda is unusual but delicious!
I appreciate what you do. You’re always putting a (mostly) positive light on many places people would otherwise assume to be terrible/hostile.
I’ve never clicked subscribe so quickly after watching just one of your videos. Love them. I’d say you deserve your own show on TV but views on this platform suggest you might not even need one.
Im so glad to have found this channel, I have watched every video in the past week and it has made my life better. Your conversations are great!
When I found it about two months ago I did a Bald marathon over the course of a week and a half. Seen it all.
Love it. Now I watch re-runs until he posts new adventures.
This is one of the best channels on youtube. None of the fake social media positivity. No color grading to make things seem better than they actually are. Simple reality. I'm from Ukraine myself, but lived in the states for the past 10 years. Your videos made me miss some things from the soviet lifestyle that I left behind
12:12 "Where are the homeless people, where are the alcoholics that hang here at night"
If you don't see them, means you're that person.
"Anyone here?"
Grabs Key... Gets himself a room...
Hi Mr. Bald. I have been following you for a brief amount of time but I have quickly fallen for your content. It is such a warm and good feeling for me to observe the exchanges you have with some of these people speaking to them in their native tongue. I love to watch their faces and their energies light up in a warm, positive, pure feeling. Your politeness and friendliness certainly aids in the trading of kindness. Thank you for spreading the light you have been spreading around the world.
10:33 Guy says “American” in a truly soviet method.
What a hell that suspicious American doing here?! CIA spy ofcourse!
In their defense, who could imagine it was a MI-6 spy pretending to be a CIA spy?
@@sanchosrancho3250 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Typical "myent" - concludes first, kicks second, asks later.
@@artip777 I travel to South West Asia often, and even lived in Kyrgyzstan for 4 years - they all thought I was CIA... little did they know, I was actually DOD. HAHA... #BlueMooseTraveler
8:42 Don't forget about the Soviet Caspian Sea Monster, an experimental ground effect vehicle (ekranoplan) developed in the Soviet Union. It's sitting in Kaspiysk right now. Maybe next year? Here are the geo coordinates... 42°52'53.87"N 47°39'25.18"E
"oh my lovely piece of gold" ...now that is one lovely lady
Interesting how they use "Russia" as if they are speaking of going abroad.
It should tell you something about the long term stability of the Russian Federation.
the republics in the Caucasus are not exactly "Russia" proper as they have high levels of autonomy and often it seems you are not in Russia any more despite the opposite
Chingiz Zhylkybayev because people in the Caucasus are not ethic Russian aka Slavic.
Sporora the Russian federation is very long term, the Caucasus don’t want independence and heavily support Putin and very much need Russia for economic aid.
@@Sporora it should tell you something about how "dominant" russian culture is that even after centuries it's still populated by natives
I'm nearing the last of my bottle of sherry, so I'm kind of squiffy, but this man needs to receive recognition, an award, by some well-established British institution (not Broadmoor) for his astonishing recordings.
A cease and desist letter from OffComm? (kidding, of course, lol)
Man, it's been so long! Good things come to those who wait! But for real though, Sir Bald, please do upload more videos. I've come to to realized that, when I'm watching people (read: you) traveled in foreign countries and having fun solo times-really sparked my adventurous side. I'm still a teenage, at this very moment. So, I can't do much about satisfying my desire to travel (wanderlust).
Anyways, stay safe wherever you are, good sire! (P. S. Sorry for my grammar.)
(4:25) This take my heart and I started cry...
Mad respect to you sir, just watched your first video! Thank you for spending time with my people and being so polite, friendly and nice... it means a lot to people who are very reserved and live ordinary lives
i feel like i traveled with you in all the vlogs
I love traveling with you! Fascinating!!
Dude I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past three days. I can’t stop. I’ve got work to do. Someone help
We all went through this. Some day in the future you will have watched all of his videos and can go back to your normal life. :D
Seriously though, I love it when you interact with the locals. Just overall makes me feel I'm actually there
I really felt heartbroken for that babushka at 4:30
I think he is the only one who wants to Share his cabin with some people so he can talk to them. Amazing
That old song, "I'm leaving on that midday train to Baku", brings back memories..
This is by far the best channel on youtube 2019! Keep the content flowing Benjamin!
you've really broken down stereotypes and shown just how awesome eastern europe is, And how friendly the people are!! i Never thought i would like to travel there but now its on the bucket list, Hope some of those old "Soviet" buildings are still there!
Totally amazing travel videos. Thanks for showing us the Russia many of us will never get to see. Sort of a "Russia through the back door".
Since I'll never be in some of the areas you travel, this is great being able to see these places from your uploads. Thanks for sharing!
This is the best. I hope he continues
Shit!!! tracy your are gorgeous
Hos geldin Azerbaycana dostum
Welcome to Azerbaijan my friend
Hello from Somerset UK
That’s a beautiful hotel room!! Damn and that station was very clean and nice!! Wow!
I just literally went out and bought a camera like yours. It is the first time in my life I am influenced that much - and in such a natural way. Thank you!
Russia, some parts of it anyway, seems to be stuck in a time capsule. I LOVE IT.
First time in my life I've seen a PARTY shower. But I guess when your Bald every where is a party.👌👌👌
That city is too modern for you LOL
bald, i hope you realize the service you provide. most people only dream of traveling as you. i appreciate seeing the back side of these countries as you portray them. it is good to see how other people live. we arent so different are we?
So glad I found this channel, could literally watch bald & his escapades for hours.
