Nobody Visits This Country...Find Out Why

- 🇲🇩 Moldova is the least visited country in Europe. And so I came to its capital city Kishinev to see why...It did not take long to find the answer. Years of theft and corruption by politicians has left the locals of the country tripping up on broken pavements and walking past abandoned buildings on their way to collect their 40 Euro pensions.
The fact that one of the grafitties said in Romanian
'This city deserves better'
Is so sad...
@@m.dewylde5287 same thing different accent bro
@@m.dewylde5287 The official language in Moldova is Romanían, but their habitants also speak a lot Russian and Ukrainian because the influence from Soviet Union, Moldovan and Rumanían Lenguage is the same, but with different accent. The Romanían from Moldova sounds like Russian accent.
@@m.dewylde5287 Basically you want means that Moldovan language is a Romanian language very old, they use it since thousands years, currently In Moldova Republique is very common speak and written in Russian and Ukrainian languages because Soviet Union influence. But Romanian language is a very new language. Did you say that you have been studied Moldovan and Romanian language?
@@Kai9456Jojo let him be; "moldovan" language was just soviet propaganda to make them believe they're not the same people as the other moldovans/vlachs/romanians from Romania;
Moldova speaks romanian; the first mentions of current romanian are from 8th century; and he's talking about moldova being old but he forgets that valachia is even older and the people from there never claimed to speak moldovan(only romanian) although is the same language. And all in all moldovan is exactly romanian(there are almost no differences)...
@@m.dewylde5287 de fapt doar ai cazut prada propagandei sovietice:)) Doar pe partea chisinaului de prut mai vezi moldoveni care sa zica ca limba moldoveneasca nu e română; nu vezi asa ceva la iași desi se vorbește exact in acelasi fel;
Scrii despre faptul ca moldova e veche, dar tara romaneasca/valahia e tot la fel de veche sau chiar mai beche. Se vorbea aceeasi limba(cu accente si regionalisme diferitr) in toate zonele din jurul carpatilor. E aceeasi limba, degeaba crezi ce le-au spus sovieticii moldovenilor ca sa-i desparta in două si sa nu se mai considere frati...iar acea latinizare artificiala a limbii romane de care vorbesti nu a existat...daca citesti vechi scrieri boieresti din tara romaneasca poti intelege ce scrie pentru ca nu s-a schimbat asa dramatic cum pretinzi tu.
The whole country looks like they just had a wicked house party and are now recovering from a hangover.
That would be the USSR
But the description of recovering is waiting and doing nothing. That works for the human body, but not for buildings.
...It doesn’t even work for the human body. Any ailment left untreated will simply fester until the body finally begins the process of dying and decomposition.
@@michaelsaxonson251 The house party would be the collapse of the soviet union lol

The SAD TRUTH is he sells people. By thousands. Across the European border. He would sell your ass too, if he had a chance.
Great to watch different countries....take care .God Bless
Those graffiti are probably 30 years old, since noone cleans them.
As a Romanian, it is heartbreaking to see this. On one of the walls of the observatory's staircase you could see the sentence "Acest oras merita mai mult" written on it. It's Romanian for "This city deserves more" and I agree. Romania is plagued by similar corrupt politicians. My heart goes out to Moldova and its people!

And to film strangers in public in eastern europe. I see he has to cut a few times, I wonder how many times people on the street call him out for it. I've heard they don't much appreciate being filmed minding their own business in Russia especially, I imagine Hungarians would love to fuck your day up for such a transgression, but I don't know the Moldovan mentality.
This guy is like Gordon Ramsay, except for instead of critiquing people's food, he critiques countries.
Ok todd
This fountain is dry!
Next he should critique Detroit.
@gpop incredibly wrong, but whatever
Which is worse.
I left Moldova 30 years ago , never had a chance to visit my homeland. I am heartbroken to see the sadness in city which was one of the best during the USSR. Clean well taken care of, tourism was flourishing. It was a beautiful city full of life and happiness. Shame to politicians and crooks to ripped off their own country.

We hope that the country will re-enter the Union in more than thirty years and will then prosper😂
8:24 the writing on the wall on his right side, in red, says: THIS CITY DESERVES MORE
It really does.
It literally does like this so much abandoned buildings and roads that they have given up making because they’re too poor and the people in hospitals if you’re a psycho they just don’t care about you they just leave you on the street so sad
Yeah, I saw that and thought it’s really ironic 😞
You're right.
yep and it's Romanian

The bomb blasts might tidy the city up!
Good take. Take care.

8:26. On the wall on the left it's written it Romanian: "This city deserves much more".
Much more or better??
@@Procrastinator12 "this city deserves much more " makes more sense when you say it in romanian , "this city deserves better" is a better translation

😲
saddest graffiti I have ever seen then.
My son was fascinated by Russian language and culture, and joined a Russian-speaking church in his teens. He visited Moldova for his senior trip, mostly staying in Chișinău. He’s now married to a Ukrainian woman and they live in Kyiv. Or did until Thursday….😢Now they are in their car waiting to enter Poland. He has a great love of Moldova and her people.
Wow. Your son's awesome. I genuinely hope he's ok.
Is your son okay?
was your son british?
I’m much like this too. Not sure what fascinated me by the Russian language and it’s culture + post soviet or slavic culture but something did. I was supposed to travel as an exchange student specifically for the Russian language to Moldova, but Covid changed that trip. I got to go to Kyrgyzstan instead, but still, I feel that it’s this massive yearning for me now to see Moldova and speak with its people.
What a lovely story! Too many of us exist in a tiny, boring world.

So sadddd… I am from Moldova, and man, you should totally check Moldova NOW. It changed so much, and the tourism level went up. I absolutely love my country, and the glow up our country had is CRAZYY… bro, the next time you visit Moldova, you should actually book a guide to see the mysterious part of Chisinau.
How are the pensioners doing now? Any better for them?
@@MickeyMishra man, I am not saying that it drastically changed, but there’s absolutely no way you can say that it didn’t. The pensioners are a whole different story and their issue is still in the process of becoming something better. But I gotta say that some of them are doing better now ,because of the social groups, charities and gifts that they received.
I’m German and I went to Moldova two years ago for a long Easter weekend. Yes, unfortunately, the country is pretty much run down, but I met really beautiful people. As they are not used to tourists, a lot of people would approach you and start having a conversation. The best thing was when a family invited me over for celebrating Easter Sunday at their parents home in the countryside. But it‘s true, most people in Moldova hope that their kids make it out of the country because there are really no opportunities in the country. I wish the people of Moldova that things will get better soon.
This is all because of Hitler and Stablin, you know..?? as they call it... because KGB had to "find" an old an historically accurate name for the place, was actually supposed to be part of Romania nowadays, but sadly, they're all pretty brainwashed and still kissing Russian butt... I bet you Germans are all having a good laugh at this situation! Well, don't forget, who laughs last... laughs hardest! >_
@David Compestela WoW, thanks for the update! >_>
um please don’t go into strangers homes, like ever. Doesn’t matter if they look normal just don’t do it.
Phi xo Believe me. Ive travelled app. 120 ocuntries, I know what to do or not. The guys I met were mixed couples Moldovian plus other nationalities from Europe. All spoke perfect English, and their invitation was super kind. In general, Moldova didnt seem any more dangerous than most other European countries. Talking about people, I really liked it.
thinktwice Yeah well i was sexually assaulted by my own friends and someone who rescued me whilst on holiday, you can’t trust / don’t know who anyone really is so it’s best not to put yourself in the situation.
Moldova literally looks like a post apocalyptic game.

Nevertheless a good thing they're there. It's a damn shame seeing a country go to waste because of corruption. We're not that far behind though..

I happened the same here as Russia after the fall of the USSR. The people who immediately grabbed power simply pillaged everything they could and left. Russia has dozens of Oligarchs who own almost all of the wealth of Russia but now live in the UK or Spain. It is the same with Moldova, all of the politicians in 1991-1995 simply stole everything of value and left. Only now with the younger generation is there a sense of national pride, and things are being built up again.
If this is the capital city, I can’t imagine the towns and villages.
The whole place looks like a filming location of Borat movies
ngl it's really not that bad if you get used to it. i mean, I've been living my entire life as for now here, and everything here is pretty normal for me :^).
Actually they're better than the capital lol
Yeah, most of the cityes are pretty ugly, but they're not as bad as Chișinău, the villages are actually gorgeous. I went there many times abd I still can't describe the feeling of seeing the sunset on top of the hill. Beautiful.

This guy is really a showman. He did not show the main streets the church, the Parliament area, museums, embassies area, the parks. It's just selected some horrible delerict places to make videos on and keep saying how how good Russia is. He does not know that almost half a million people were sent by beautiful Russia to Siberia to squash and kill any unrest and even today with Transnistria they keep Russian army at 60 minutes from Chisinau (the capital) in Transnistria and if you dare to sat anything bad about the Russians army you can get more than a half a decade of prison time for starters. If he had any sense or backbone he would ride the bus from Transnistria to Moldova and see how people go daily from the Russian frozen conflict area to Moldova (as poor as he screams out it is) just to have something to put on the table.
There is a saying "You can't talk morals with a hungry man". The country is at a geopolitics faltline between the European Union/NATO and the Russian Federation, the weaker this no man's land(arguably, with Russian army in there) the easier it is to keep it broken and derelict. He picked and chose history and misdirected. The country, Moldova is part of a people - Romanians. The Soviet Union had troops on the border on Romania and gave Romanians 48 hours to leave the country or else full invasion of all the country. We lost it without fighting, which is sad I guess, but we are a small country and the Soviet Union was the other world power at that time with USA. So they took occupied, sent to Siberia or chased away any resistance and by braking away half of the historical region of Moldova from Romania they created this frozen conflict - why Moldova can't join the EU and is 4 times poorer than the rest of us Romanians living in Europe. This is why they get passports from us, to have a chance of a better life.
There are nice places to see in Chisinau and Moldova (and Ukraine) both are dirt poor but also offer a different perspective than you would get if you would visit Italy or Spain. I would recommend visiting Transnistria, its like time travel to Soviet times, a little bit like North Korea (you will like it).

You know things are bad when people in Moldova hope to get Romanian citizenship.
Are you Moldovan? I heard most of Moldavia wants to reunite with his bro Romania. Is that true?
@@juanrescudero7271 in 1918 we were all united, but then split under Ribbentrop-Molotov. I as a Romanian consider them compatriots, same culture. I have Moldavian friends and they also think the same and would love to unite any day of the week(like many Romanians do), but on the other side of the Prut it's a bit more tangled. For one, there are still minorities that appeared during the USSR and that don't want it. Many don't want it because of political reasons and consequences and how hard it would be to merge. Some people, mostly that use Russian as their main language(even though theoretically Romanian is the official language. Moldova has its own dialect just to make it clear) want unification with Russia. Moldova is caught in the middle. Stats say that 55% don't want to unite(someone said in an interview "even though I would love to unite with the motherland, I am afraid about ruining our relationship with Russia". Consider that they are near Russia and it wouldn't take long for Russia to do something about it). Back to the stats, 25% say that they want to unite no matter what and the rest can't decide. Even though many consider we are the same people and culture not all are looking forward to this. There are also some that feel that they wouldn't fit well under Romania. Consider that under USSR people moved around the country and not only the older Moldavians remaining in the area. Also some Moldavians just would rather be independent. So even if many would like to, even some are undecided because of consequences.
Juan R Escudero Not Moldovan just thought it was a little funny that Moldovans want to move to Romania a very poor country.
@@iamverycrazy The part with romanian citizenship is because it allows those moldovans acces to work and travel in the EU since Ro is part of EU. As for Ro beeing a poor country i'd beg to differ since most ppl can afford a decent living with rent,bills and living covered from a wage of 400-500 euros which is earned from a menial job in major developed city's. That's of course not all over the country though and it is certinly not close to the living standards of western europe, however it's enough to go by with your monthly needs.
Yeah. Romania is not far from this. Full of politicians who have no purpose în life but to benrfit of the country and make people's lives miserable.

I’m from Moldova. Moved to the US. Usually I would be offended at the comments on my country but they seriously only say the truth. Never visit it. It’s a beautiful country in itself, but full of garbage everywhere and a very very corrupt government.
DOGE the government is truly stupid and corrupt but how can you say it is full of rubbish everywhere, Orhei is a very beautiful and CLEAN city along with others, if you wanted your country to do better you would stop talking trash about it. At least Moldova doesn’t have sickos like America does
ChickenNoodleSoup With an Ego let me correct myself. CHISINAU is full of garbage. At least where I used to live, it was. But I’ve never really been to Orhei so I can’t stand for that.
ChickenNoodleSoup With an Ego also don’t deny it.. America IS a way better place to live in.
DOGE i wasn’t saying that it is a better place to live neither was I denying anything. Yh America has way better opportunities we already knew
@@doge8825 Where in America are you? It's a very large place.
I'm currently in Chisnau in 2023 and I absolutely love it. The people are so warm and the women are absolutely stunning and much friendlier than those in North America. Also, prices are beyond cheap. It's very possible that authorities saw this video and made some changes because downtown chisinau is lovely and filled with cafes/restaurants and modern life. Love it here. From Canada
😂😂😂😂
No such thing as downtown there
Agreed, I am visiting Chisinau now and it's nothing like the depictions in this video. Great city life, clean, and warm people. I'd recommend it for any European to travel to. At the hostel I am at, I've met people who are visiting for 2nd and 3rd times because they enjoy it.
I agree as well. I went in October 2023 and a lot has changed since this video
The prices are cheap but the salary is like 150 euros a month.

As a romanian i didn't knew our neighbours are so poor ,i feel so sorry for them even if we are in the same waters
It's not that bad lol, you should come visit, during summer preferably.
I visit them, they are good but not that good. For exmple i change 100 RON (romanian currency) and i received 400 LEI (moldavian currency) and when i was talking to people like shops or restaurants their first word is in russian which is disturbing since they want to reunite with Romania but they still kissing russian ass and not the old ones even the younger ones. But as a country yes, they still are poor. I cross the country by train and village after village with no lights. That's why many teenagers come to Romania, become students so they can receive romanian citizenship and after that they can run away in Europe. It's not a country that you can visit them to see something nice, you go there to buy things cheaper, that's all.
Is it common to go around with guns there? I see there are laws on carry of firerarms,but are they enforced? Or people mostly do their own thing?
@@junichiroyamashita No, it's not common, fortunately.
From what I've read most Moldovans would like to reunite with Romania... for Romania however this is a problem because Moldova is a poor country by comparison (remember when West and East Germany reunited, that was very expensive).
I'm in Chisinau right now and it's poor for sure but the city is a lot more pleasant than the impression you get from this video. It's very green and a lot of the pavement and benches have been renovated and there's even some pedestrianisation going on. Maybe because there's a new government, but I can't make that judgment obviously. I expected it to be way more dreary and depressing.
the way he painted it in such a shitty light literally makes my blood boil
So sad. I’m from southeast asia, where most of the world regard as “poor”. But the poor in my part of the world can live better natural life (if they are so desperately poor) because of favorable climate here. I mean the GDP per capita of Moldova is about the same as the Philippines. But I’m sure filipinos are much happier bunch.
Now I get why most of the people from post soviet countries look so depressed
Exactly, i thought white people are always richer than us.
Rampant corruption drags this country down.
Philippines is not a poor country, it is an amazing country, great place to visit.
@@tarunkumar.d8379 im so happy for the way you look on us Filipino sir, but i think there's no better assessment than those who actually lived and raised on our very country so we think we're poor/ Third world country. There's more than what you see on our tourism adds. Unless you're on our shoes then you can asses better

Even tho this video was made 3 years ago, nothing really changed. I mean there are a few improvements, like they demolished most abandoned buildings and are working on renovating most of the city (this time fr). I left it a year ago an still visit frequently, since most my family and friends are there. In general it is a nice country but it is pretty scary walking down the streets alone, no matter if its night or day and no matter your age. Political opinions didn’t really change, it is still divided between the people who want to unite with Russia and people who want to join in on the EU.

Damn, the whole country seems depressed.
Well, we are depressed! :,(
cause it is
i can literally say that they are, lived in Moldova for 10 years
In fact many parts of big Polish cities, like Łódź or Wrocław also looks depressing. xp I lived in a dorm in Wrocław a bit north of city centre where there was nice park and University building where they teach architecture, but completely surrounded by old and dirty 2-storey buildings (kamienice) built during German era. I disliked going through it to work. xp There are jokes that the centre of Łódź is said to cost less than 6$. They renewed some buildings in the city centre, but 2 crossings away is the place where poor people live. xp But I have to say that many poor people are addicted to alcohol and it's very hard even for officials to cure them from the addiction. On the other hand houses aren't cheap. xp

szililolabu Yes, I mean compared with many other countries who are not part of EU and their citizens have to go trough a hell to get a job in Western Europe for Romanians it’s different.
But because Romania it’s now a colony of EU, they exchanged VISA free for the resources.
Romanians are not like Polish people for example to love their country and not give up on the country for a VISA.
That’s why Romania it’s 50 years at least behind Poland on everything but most specially on mentality!
Romanians will sell even their mother for a visa free travel pass! So they sell their country to EU and US in order to can go and clean the toilets in the west for a better wage! Pathetic but it’s true!

Listen to the people, they used to be able to afford clothes, food, rent, healthcare, etc. Anyone would prefer that over the conditions they live in now. That's not brainwashing, that's just people trying to survive, they are longing for times when they'd could do that. They are lost now due to the tyranny of the ruling class, deep rooted corruption squeezing every last penny out of their citizens.
