Have you ever been to Lithuania? What are your first impressions of Vilnius so far?
brb moving to Vilnius
Its similar to Latvia, If you want to see soviet stuff you need to go outside from the capital
Lithuania was the only place I felt uncomfortable.
People were cold like the weather, the scenery bleak and a bit depressing.
But I guess it's different in summer and the giving me a cold shoulder was due to me speaking Russian first.
@@garyweaver5512 I hope, "put in" pay well in those dirty rubles? Otherwise is not worth, writing some nonsense.
@@valdasnetavo8746 yeah, anyone who wasn't impressed with Vilnius and Lithuania, gets paid by Russia-)))
What a dumb comment.
I'm 30years old. As Bald said - we can not miss Soviet past. Because our grand parents were suffering, our parents were fighting for independence and we have to cherish what they have built for us. It was worst years of Lithuania's history, stopped development which Lithuania had since early 20th century, killed ~30% of people, mostly intellectual, rich people, created shady schemes (bribes, corruption, etc.) and we are still fighting with all these leftovers.
And not only that, balts (Latvians and Lithuanians) are not slavs, they have totally different culture, language, history, etc.
And nobody reacts to word Soviet as a trigger, but everyone wants aknowledgment of differences and that it was dark past against people's will.
For sure. Besides how`s it possible soviet themed restaurant? Restaurants need food...
@@Z1BABOUINOS most lithuanians have their own house.
@@Z1BABOUINOS i answered your question by simply stating a fact that most lithuanians have their own house.
@@Z1BABOUINOS 100% russian narrative (propaganda)
@@Z1BABOUINOS i will answer you like a kid. The fact that most lithuanians owns a house means that yes lithuanians can afford a house like their parents did. Secound part of the question is plain stupid. Africans can afford to have 4 children while germans cant even afford 2. Does this makes Africa richer than Germany?
I've been in Vilnius once many years ago and it's a lovely city.
The architecture in Vilnius is absolutely beautiful!! It has such a European cosmopolitan look and seems like a very clean city!
It doesn't seem very clean. It is.
Lithuania looks very metropolitan… kinda like Belgium France Austria… amazing looking city
Capital only , other citys not so much.
@@mariusr7885 Kaunas and Klaipėda? These two are also very metropolitan and developed places
Lithuania looks like place were many cheap prostitute and alcoholics, buffer state on russia and Poland and other European civilization
@@mariusr7885 Some small cities look even tidier than Vilnius.
@@fresconle7939 Sorry, I couldn't tell from your nick. Which one of these two you say you are?
Random Bald & Bankrupt fans in the street probably assuming Johnny is just his cameraman!
Saying that "Lithuanians will miss soviet union" is like saying jews will miss nazi Germany. Get your head straight dude:)

No nostalgia at all for the Soviet things, no respect for occupants. Have fun in Lithuania.
No nostalgia for GULAG "culture".
Lithuanians look somewhat different than their Slavic neighbours too. Well, their men especially, they're taller and a bit more Scandi-looking than the average East-Slav. The Lithuanian stock is very old, maybe the oldest in Europe.
I wouldn't say that, that first 'tall guy' looks pretty Slavic to me, and his accent was very Russian as well. BTW, I've heard that Balts and Slavs are similar in terms of genetics.
@@tornadoman1054 cuz Vilnius is full of Polaks and soviets under different name aka Russians
Our language is at least as old as Sanskrit - maybe older, it's very involved - intricate. I have a huge dictionary.
Жамойт пытается вылизать свою страну на английском , это так смешно , по твоему беларусы которые живут в паре километром от эстонии будут ниже ? Генетика одинаковая , балто-славяне ничем не отличаются кроме языковых подгрупп
Thats true.
Bald freezing in E.Europe in November, not expecting it to be cold...
Which Napoleonic general were you in a previous life Mr Bald?!
I've had snowball fights in Poland earlier in November than this!
Yeah, that wind whips down from the cold waters in the Gulf of Finland
👍🏻🤣
His preparedness is always on top. not. lol.
Lithuania is north Europe no more eastern... :)

Let's hope bald made it home from the Instagram earlier

Bald has feeling why most Lithuanian hate soviet era when you great grandfathers was sent to gulag and your grandparents deported to Siberia, there is just impossible to like or feel nostalgia for it.

I never thought I would say this but I would not mind visiting Vilnius. Looks lovely!
18:00 regarding what u were talking about here: I highly doubt that as lithuania has a rich proud history since way before the soviet takeover, and that is their national identity i would guess. They removed all the soviet stuff not because they "didnt wanna think about it" simply because it isnt them, it was forced upon them. Now i may be wrong about this but this is my take on it.
Yes, your take on this is quite precise. As a Lithuanian myself I can tell that Lithuania is proud of its long lasting and rich history which has been built through the ages and those 50 years of the soviet time are remembered as a nightmare. Those bloody communist came here, deported the upper class to gulags and started to enslave our peasants. How they think we should remember those times with nostalgia?
They removed all the soviet stuff because they aren't a huge fans of war crimes
Couldnt been said better!

Russia was the oppressor, who wants to keep souvenirs of the oppressor?

Welcome to Lithuania, friends! I hope you will enjoy your stay and make some great content.
BTW: the red flag with an armored knight is called Vytis - it is one of our official symbols and our coat of arms. Please try some traditional Lithuanian food - that would be a great video :)
@@BrokenBackMountains Bold is a fan of the Soviet red and green Belarus, not the white-red-white one. Sadly.
finally a civilized beautiful country in your video's ...i don't think bald will post anything on Lithuania its too beautiful for his video's .
vilnius is special, you can feel the atmosphere of the old lithuanian empire
FYI Lithuania was occupied under Soviets only between 1944-1991. But the history of this country goes all the way back to 1200s. Therefore it has more European style buildings than Soviet.
Plus they were the first country to leave ussr I doubt they were ever Soviet
So who built those buildings ?
@@peterkonitzer4410 Mostly of them build by Lithuanians, there a many buildings even from 12 - 13 century. While, Grand Duchy Of Lithuania was biggest country in Europe, including Ukraine, Belarus many lands even taken from Russia. Also, many of historical buildings was destroyed by Russians... Many of them are rebuild.
@@peterkonitzer4410 Lithuania became part of the Russian Empire in 1795
@@valdasnetavo8746 name one building destroyed by russians in Vilnius
I just dunno. Whenever I see Johnny with Bald, Johnny looks like a happy tourist with some great skills, but Bald looks like an off-duty badass operative. I just hope he's working for us.
Well put
Johnny is stupid about Soviet history which is a nightmare haunted people there for half century. Why people want remember. 😡
@@williamboss746 In Lithuania, yes. Have you ever seen Ben interview boomers/older people in other ex-Soviet countries? Most of them seem to miss it.
Rumor has it he’s British intelligence
I heard the 'Hitman' videogames are based on him.
The pasties you were eating are called kibinas. It's a traditional dish of the Karaim peoples who have been living in Lithuania's Trakai region since the middle ages. If you ever visit Trakai (a worthwhile destination, though nothing Soviet for Bald there), try some kibins there, they're something else entirely over there.
And then Karaims were eradicated because they used to practice Judaism, right? Now most kibinai places offer pork as a filling and that’s ok.
@@eyeeyeoh I don't know about that. Wasn't able to find anything too specific online, but it seems that the nazis distinguished Karaims from Jews and didn't apply the same policies to them. A 1897 census says that there were 424 Karaims living in Trakai. 2001 census says there were 273. So while the population decreased over a century, it doesn't seem like they were eradicated.
The hell are you talking about?
Vilnius looks great. Architecture is definitely very European, in fact it reminds me of our medieval cities here in Belgium (Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Namur...), but with a definite eastern flavour to it. I'm impressed, definitely looks worth a visit.
Vilnius is the mix of local Lithuanian and Polish, German, Jewish, Russian and I guess other European architectural influences of various styles who come from different centuries.
Summer is the best time to visit!
I got a very Budapest vibe from the architecture. it's certainly very pretty.
@@Deines7 Before WW1 there were less than 2% Lithuanians in Vilnius. The only lithuanian impact on this city architecture is contemporary (so it's international actually, there's no "lithuanian style" in architecture). Unless you include help in devastating churches in the '50s, that may also bee seen as lithuanian input.
@@rafaz.695 Before of the mid of 16th century here was near zero poolish immigrants or locals who switch the language from lithuanian to poolish.
Lithuania is a morally outstanding and very brave country. It is the first country from the EU to recognize Taiwan and allow it to establish a "Taiwan Representative Office" in their capital, Vilnius. :)
Brave but stupid ;)
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
@@silverplays871 sure we are very stupid :)
Lithuania can afford to do that because it can depend on the USA/EU for trade and it is very insignificant to China. At present 12-15 nations recognised Taiwan as a separate country. It doesn't mean anything to China(PRC) as long as Taiwan (ROC) itself did not declare as a separate country.
Technically we didn't recognize Taiwan as an independent country, but at least we let the office be named "Taiwan" rather than "Taipei", so it's still a step forward.
Hi John! I do like your show. Well done you 😃. Just one thing about soviet past! I was born in Vilnius 51 years ago and only thing we were all dreaming about was to get back our independence 😃. There is no regret and kind of nostalgia.. You obviously haven’t been gone through all this soviet crap… different mentality and I don’t blame you for that 😃. Apart of that I like your show! Thanks buddy 👍
Johnny, don't mix thing's up. Ukraine, Belarus and many lands even taken from Russia, was part of Grand Duchy Of Lithuania, and not other way around. Rulling by Lithuanian king Mindaugas, Baltic and Ruthenian people's live together happy and very healthy lives, win the biggest war's. Also ,there was many of Noble Baltic and Ruthenian families.
Ignorance is bliss 🤷🏼♂️ I'm talking about Johnny's knowledge of Eastern Europe
Another fake history buff dreaming of the glorious past when his kings were just and people lived together happily-)
@@garyweaver5512 Stop spreading, Russian propaganda. Damn, get those rubles and move on 🤡 Only fake thing in here is you're account.
damn this Kremlin clown works over time. :D
kinda always pointless to talk about the fallen empire as it is unclear of how far are we supposed to go when discussing them
Vilnius looks way cleaner and more beautiful than Paris
its just oldtown, most countries capital old town looks good, since it represents it for tourists, i wish they went to old microdistricts of soviet times or outside vilnius....
I completely disagree that Lithuanians are "covering up" the Soviet occupation and pretending it didn't happen. The Baltic countries take a staunch EU position precisely because they haven't forgotten what the Soviet Union did to them and fear what Putin could do in the future. Unlike the other Soviet republics, the Baltics had had a tradition of democracy prior to the Soviet tanks rolling into their countries. From Bald's reaction to your observations, he clearly disagrees too.
Bald studies his history
Is it some kind of payed opinion. So many usernames are pointing the same thing. It is still erasing the history no matter how you try to cover up. Taliban also created their own arguments for destroying heritage that they don't like.
You then shouldn't forget Russian Empire occupation and encourage demolition of Gediminas avenue surrounding areas that fascinated bald as they are also foreign...
Tradition of democracy? Seriously with Smetona dictator and his coup.

I always notice a big difference in technology, cleanliness and architecture when a country is in the EU and no longer under the corrupt Russian influence.
😂😂😂😂 O, man.. hilarious 😆😆😂😘
Eastern Europe never ceases to amaze me with its cleanliness and its civility. I can assure you this is related to the demise of TV in that part of the world.
It's impossible to feel nostalgia for something that was pure evil.
truly righ - as said before Ben needs a Soviet evel detox...
Right on! Johnny is :( @#% up!
It is for the snitches of those times
@@jpthiran I don't think that Bald is pro soviet, he made some clear statements against it on older videos. He most likely just find the history and architecture fascinating.
Many still do, especially older generation. He is in city center no surprise it is more western and richer.
18:00 You're wrong Johnny. Not even in the next 200 years.
After we adopted Euro prices doubled, but salaries tripled or even quadrupled in some places. For example six years ago my salary as a salesman in one shopping mall was 900 Litas per month, which was about 260 Eur! And now in Vilnius it's quite usual to get about 800-1200 Eur (after taxes) for casual job per month. The progress in prices/salaries is really fast here
So glad to read this. It is a true victory “for the people.” Communism is evil.

I’m from Ukraine and love Lithuania. I’ve been to Vilnius and Kaunas, and what a lovely cities!!! I felt so nice and calm there, people were nice and friendly. Really waiting to visit again.
Saying we should remember our past or wondering why we cover it is the same as reminding woman she was raped. No need for it.
Well said!!!
This is called filming with pleasure😇 how clean this city is... I love Lithuania!!!
Yes you gonna make again a mini series with Benjamin #exploring Lithuania 🇱🇹
Yeah, it is very clean.
Welcome to Vilnius! We usually eat pasty with a beverage (tea or coffee). So it isn't that dry. :D
Pasty with chicken broth is perfect combination
4 euros ? damnnnn
This vlog contains world record for variations on how to pronounce pasty.
I've been thinking the same the whole time - dudes, wait for your tea/coffee, don't eat it dry!
Ohh sounds like the good life!
When it looks old and beautiful it's the architecture of the Hanse!
Bald simply looks pissed because he cant find anything soviet in Lithuania anymore :DD sorry bold we moved on.
Also, would love to replicate on Johnys last words. We do not want to delete our history, we wish it woul'nt have happened. It is still very painfull to a lot of Lithianians, since there are still a lot of people that lost their loved ones or grandparents to the regime. Some of our parents or grandparents came back from the Siberia. The history is still alive. Of course there's always people that glamorize those times, but mostly we educate our youth on it . Constant discussions , art projects, exibitions created on it, so we would know. But it is not supose to be part of our identity, it was forced on us. :)
Agreed, that last sentence is just what I was going to say - not our history, therefore we don't have to preserve any of it. We're not deleting our history, in fact we're promoting and reviving it. "Destroying history" is one of the biggest pet peeves of mine. Two months prior to the removal of the monument to regime collaborator Cvirka (which made it into Bald's video), a new monument to Jonas Karolis Chodkevičius was unveiled, or what about that sculpture of Jonas Basanavičius from a few years ago. To do the opposite of what we have been doing since 1990 or even to have done nothing since then would be the real destruction of history, as we would end up having all of the same copy-pasted, inorganically imposed revolutionaries, heroes, holidays, national myths and narratives as 14 other faraway and sometimes culturally foreign countries. Now THAT would be destruction of OUR history.
that is CORRECT......My birth name is Rasa Sofija Jakstaite
I'm Buryaad Mongolian from Siberia. And we still have many baltic people living here. Sadly they assimilate and have only last name as a reminder.
But we are outright deleting or hiding all details of Soviet period. Even physical architecture stuffers. We demolish what we don't like the same way as they did, we are no better in this area.
All history is still history no matter if it was forced. Imagine If Austro Hungarian or other historical architecture was demolished at such scale in countries with complicated past.
Hi I have been to vilinus 12 times beautiful city I am from London 🇬🇧
Came here from balds channel, shoutouts
Same mate ! These two are a good fit hehe
My first day in Lithuania the lady at the supermarket told me Aciu. I thought sounded a bit fake but still told her bless you😂. You should go to the Castle guys and definitely go out at night to see the real beauty of Lithuania
Lol
Different accentuation though 🙂
Lithuania is beautiful
Ty for showing this beautiful place Mr. Johnny F. D. And Benjamin
Bald is the best known celebrity in Lithuania.
Johnny mentioned that new generation might miss on the old soviet feeling. And I can tell you that will not happen :D
New generation lives European lifestyle.
Personally, I`ve been in Georgia and didn`t really liked that Soviet leftover feeling. Lithuania is moving as west as possible from our neighbours.
I hope it is as LGBT friendly as west Europe and Japan/Thailand as I'm planning to visit. By the time I'll visit Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine, etc I'll become a transwoman :)

I have never been to Lithuania but I have supreme respect for how they have acted with regards to giving the finger to the despotic dictators of BeiJing and increasing connections and recognition of the democratic government of Taiwan.

00:02 you lucky bastards! I was born in this damn block and lived until bloody event of 1991 13th January. Was a clear view from kindergarten to passing soviet tanks and trucks with soldiers.
Those waitresses were actually really friendly and kinda flirting to both of you, like that style😎, as soon as Lithuania joined the EU, the prices rised rapidly, but I guess that will help the country to become more economically powerful. Nice vlog, greetings from Austria especially to the Lithuanian people✌️
It is always better to have high prices and big salaries than low prices and small salaries.
@@fidenemini111 the thing is that the average salaries in Lithuania are low and prices are high. The salaries are even one of the lowest in the whole Europe I'm pretty sure.
If you visit Kaunas, you will see the new trolleybuses, we got rid of the old ones, but Vilnius holds onto them for some reason. We also have a cafe called "Mėnulis retro" in Kaunas, where they play music from the 80's and all of the furniture is from soviet times, all worn down and authentic, it's really popular among the younger generation. The main street in the old town is closed at the moment for reconstruction, but they plan to finish the works in the summer.
UPDATE: The cafe unfortunately closed for good.
Old trolleybus is the coolest one. At least history and design wise.
@@ligametis Oh shit, again you. Go back to naphthalene.
@@fidenemini111 I find it strange that you don't know people do appreciate old cars and other machinery. Don't want to shock you too much but some even buy it on purpose for their collection or as a passion object.
Vilnius holds on old trolleybusses, because, they are still working fine.. it was just not worth to change them yet, but they are planning on getting lots of new very soon.
hey, you brought Bald to Lithuania! I'm going to subscribe now. You deserve it.
Johnny, are you boys planning on visiting Gruto park located in Druskininkai? Grutas Park is a socialist realism museum with a sculpture garden of Soviet-era statues and other Soviet ideological relics from the times of the Lithuanian SSR.
Oh they would love that place when it is possible to fully immerse yourself in those Soviet feces.

Most of the architecture in Lithuania is Baroque not soviet, well in the old town areas, you get chruschiovkas in the neighborhoods getting deeper down in the city out of the center
🇱🇹 loves 🇹🇼! Awesome country!
As Lithuanians we dont try to cover the history, we remember our heros that fight against occupants and we remember true face of soviet union... And we proudly remove things that are not our history, things that were brought to us by occupants (pain, split families, mentality of thiefs and slackers and anything, that for us, asociate with that). if we could we would love to all that shit never happen, but we dont try to delete that , we focus on the good things of that part of history ( how we had one dream about being free, about country were we all have our vote , about being responsible for our future). And no matter that problems occur and trolls dont stop barking , i believe we are doing perfect.
What a beautiful place
Vilnius is so beautiful! Ačiū 🙂👍🇱🇹
All the Lithuanians I have met are friendly and speak English quite well. They LOVE basketball!!

its the most depressing time to visit Lithuania. Everyone who can afford - leave the country this time of year :D Sun never shines and lenght of day is 8am till 4 pm. No snow till Christmas or even January, only freezing temperatures and rain.
18:03 representation of 'how being quiet sometimes makes you smarter".
Glad that bald was educated enough to not agree with dumb ol johnny there
Thanks for the video Johnny. I feel the urge to comment on your words that the 'younger generation will miss the nostalgia of soviet things'. We do not cover up our history - we are well aware of the horrors the soviet union brought on us, how they persecuted, tortured and killed thousands of Lithuanians. There is absolutely no need for us to feel nostalgic to our oppressors who are responsible for the genocide of our people. What you said was rather ignorant and offensive. Hope you had the chance to speak to some of the locals and get a better view of our history and agonising soviet past.
Been in Vilnius 2 weeks ago, love it!
nice people, good places!
I recomend also Trakay & Kaunas
Johny, Vilnius does not have 4 streets, VIlnius is 4 times bigger than Paris in area(fact)
40 times
big as your pride for it
New York is a village compared to Vilnius, we got the point.
Sorry, Johnny, but we won't miss any of that Soviet 'culture' for which we never asked for
love this country
Go to Grutas park if you like soviet relics :). This park for you for sure
We won't miss Soviet sh...t. If we want to see it, we can go to Russia or Belorus :)

Even during the Soviet Union it was not very popular to speak Russian especially when people came from Latvia and Estonia to visit Lithuania.unlike Latvia 50 percent and Estonia 30 percent the amount of native Russian speakers is only a little over 10 percent 👍🙋😀
18:00 you sound kinda idi,otic. You didn’t like desovietizition of Lithuania? Those people were exiled, deported, murdered, tortured and oppressed.
Do you wanna see some Soviet thing in Lithuania? Then visit the “ Tuskulėnų rimties parkas”. You’ll see a humble monument in there, it was a mass grave of the Lithuanian people tortured, mass-murdered and buried in a mass-grave. 724 people’s bodies were found in the site in a mass-grave.
How many more of those graves exist throughout Lithuania, nobody knows! Nevertheless, you show no respect to Lithuanian people, and complaining about their desovietilization!
Plus, what the hell you repeatedly say “ačiū bolshoje”?! Why do you mix Lithuanian and Russian languages? Would you say “Labai spasibo” in Russia?!
...Benjamin needs a Soviet detox!...there are much better things in life... :-) ... in the Baltic states there is a much brighter side of life to enjoy!...thank you for the nice video Johnny
that soviet stuff can really rotten your brain sometimes
What beautiful buildings. Nice vid. I enjoy the banter you two have. Thank you
Red flag with the knight is the coat of arms of Lithuania. Used to be the old flag of lithuania before it was changed to the tricolor.
Vilnius flag is St. Christopher carrying Christ over a river. On a red background with yellow stripe.
There is a fancy soviet restaurant in Vilnius, called NERINGA.
Man this makes Vilnius look awesome! I have some Lithuanian blood in me but I know very little about it. Maybe someday I’ll be blessed to visit it 🙏🏻
Beautiful city. You two are both Gen Xrs….but obviously on the cusps! Different contentments and appreciations!😉😍Keep up the wonderful content.
In Bald's videos he acts like a pro but in Jonny's videos .. he looks so shy :D
Its the Vytis on a flag. National symbol. Flag of vilnius is the iron wolf. Geležinas Vilkas. Also. Eat cepalinai at snekutas.
And kibinai in trakai! Trakai also has a gorg castle, definitely best to visit in the spring
Johny have you ever been to Mongolia? It would be great if you make video from Mongolia, a very interesting country
