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!

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.
@@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.
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
At 8:22 on the left wall written in red you can see "acest oras merita mai mult" which translates to "this city deserves better" and it's amazing how he was talking about the same thing while passing by
Wait, I understand half those words... After some Googling I found out that Moldovan and Romanian are technically the same thing, I didn't know that. I speak Spanish and Portuguese so other Romance languages are easy-ish to decipher... Pretty cool to learn more about a country I had little knowledge of.
Cool, thanks for the info. I was in Iraq alongside Romanian soldiers and was able to understand enough Romanian to know when they were cheating at cards lol
5:29 Just yesterday I saw this old man, in the same place, with the same instrument, selling books. I listened to the songs while waiting for the bus. The most beautiful 15 minutes of the last half year
wow, video about Moldova is the most viewed video on your channel until now. You did more for moldovan tourism than did all our politicians in 30 years.
@@Liam-fs5fe I won't watch any of his other videos... he's too biased, subjective, arrogant, disgusting and obnoxious for me. But I guess his viewers like him. People absolutely love shit nowadays, it's unreal.
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.
So sorry for you and your country, I had no idea it was this bad. Something needs to be done, but what can be done if so much money has been stolen out of the country, I know some of us in Norway now are donating 300 000 euro to hospitals. Hope things can change for the better for you
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).
@@ciuby4147 I think he believes that Soviet Union was bad, but he wanted to show what corruption can do and that the country doesn't have to be so corrupt or maybe even Communist in order to prosper.
The fact that he mentions and blames the corruptness of the politicians rather than saying its the fault of the ordinary people there kinda makes up for it in my book.
Johan Whitehouse the politicians are making false promises to the people and instead of using the tax money on good things they keep it all for them selves and this is happening all over the world

Ever BEEN to Russia? In most places, it looks just like "Bald's" examples here.
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.
umm probably because the buildings were likely built around the time chernobyl’s were. it’s like saying a house in miami looks like a house in Lexington, ofc there gonna look similar

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

@@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.
@@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. Greetings from Romania.
The thing that I love about your content is that you are brutally honest when you talk about the current status of a country and extremely passionate about the people and culture.
Unfortunately Britain’s town centres are going downhill fast as well. The councils are out of money, the shops are empty and the public is struggling with the high cost of living.
I went to Torquay last year and a British man told me one of the key factors for the many empty shops is that all the people buy their stuff from Amazon and co. now. Is that right?
Sounds good. People deserve better, so take some actions , say fix fountains, do something to attract global travellers . You just can't wait there for a charming prince to save you from this bad situation.
My soul and body don't agree. I wished to travel to countries and cities like this, that are less known, and see how different life is around the world. But I use a wheelchair and stuff like that "wheelchair access" make me to laugh-cry to the idea 😂😭 the only places achievable to me are the polished soul-less mass-tourims attractions... Anyhow, I'm happy there's people who make videos like this 😊
Oh believe me, no one had wheelchairs in mind while making those, because the state doesnt care about people with disabilities - thats the sad truth. These rails were made for baby strollers.
8:23 in the background ithere was written in grafitti: "acest oraș merită mai mult" wich means: this city deserves more. In Romanian (Oof im Moldovian)
We're pretty poor but no one has the balls to do something besides complain and moan. There were protests a few years ago that didn't change anything. Thank God for last year's election
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.
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! >_
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.

@John Eric did we watch the same video? Brainwashing? 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. Are you going to tell me similar things aren't happening in capitalist countries all round the world? If anything, you are the one who sounds indoctrinated with your blind hate of communism.
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.
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).
@@aboorortravels totally agree there with you... you can find these kind of places in every city... I can make even London look like a shit hole... if I went to some crappy places they have there...

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.

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.

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.

I grew up there. And every time people ask me “where are you from?”, I answer “Moldova”, and everyone like "oh.. is that region in Asia or something?"

@Mr ML there are cheap walnuts and cherries, Kvass is sold on the street, just like in the USSR. But there is nothing to do, no work, no opportunities, so many young people have to leave. There, even old trolleybuses have been preserved. I return there every 2 years and nothing Nothing changes, absolutely nothing

It looks like the citizens living in a lost place, really sad.

@John Eric did we watch the same video? Brainwashing? 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. Are you going to tell me similar things aren't happening in capitalist countries all round the world? If anything, you are the one who sounds indoctrinated with your blind hate of communism.
sad thing.
John Eric it hasn’t been communist for 30 years, if anything it’s been the fall of communism that’s destroyed it
@John Eric Ur the only one brainwashed by ur garbage corrupt satanic western goverment
Great video-as usual.
5:00 the city is derelict but that man still gets up in the morning to dress himself well. Very admirable. I wouldn't be so inspired.
Hope.
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 went to Moldova and it wasn't that bad. the people were very freindly and the food was nice and cheap. Its poor but people have pride
people can be nice anywhere but you can't deny the horrible situation of this country
He chose the poorest neighbourhood
@@aboorortravels totally agree there with you... you can find these kind of places in every city... I can make even London look like a shit hole... if I went to some crappy places they have there...

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.
Unfortunately same goes for many other former socialist countries my friend. The oligarchs and the politicians that they serve them are the ones they say that socialism failed and that it doesn't work.
Why ppl always blaming about politicians,u should go back and help the government to rebuild your country.

As a Moldovan this is very sad how people just leave all these old stuff just to rot away this is very sad but they’re is still some beautiful places in Moldova 🇲🇩
When I was a kid, I fell in love with this boy from Moldova. I was at the Italy that time and I met him at school. I really think that he’s cute and kind. I used to chat him and he will kindly reply back. Sadly, I had to return to my country and remember crying thinking that I would never see him again. I tried to find his name in social medias but I can’t seem to find it. Wish I could meet him again and confess my feelings. ✨
That thought of yours will give him good karma one way or another. 🙂
@@jand3293 If I'm correct,there is no such thing as good karma
@@sincotrodium7385 who shat in your breakfast cereal... Would have been better if you just kept your mouth shut and not brought all that negativity here
Awwwww!!! Thats sooo cute! But sad that you cant see him again.. but don't worry!! You will get to see him one day!!! Don't loose hope!!!
don't lose hope like that bronze cowboy who waited 27 years
O boy..
I was born in Kishinev and lived there till I was 15 years old.
The National hotel was called Intourist and it was made for foreigners. It was one of the most beautiful and impressive hotels in the city.
The fountain in front of this hotel was so beautiful it was printed on post card throughout USSR.
I used to visit the Observatorium when I was a small kid with my mother and listened to lectures about the stars and planets....
That is sad...
The city was almost completely destroyed during WW2. The city was rebuild in white stone with a single general plan to make it comfortable for living and transportation. And the underground road crossings were build using beautiful and impressive red pink gray and black granite plates.
It all looks terrible to me. I understand why nobody wants to visit this country
@RUclips Deleted my Other Account for Mean Comments I am 45 years old. Not too old😉
I’m 16 years old and I was born in Kishinew. I’ve never seen the city like you describe it, but I know that maybe I will see it even better in the future. Or at least I hope...
Vorbesti romana sau rusa
Both of you two go back to your country and make it. Lamenting or hoping for its better future wouldn't do any good.

This is not the truth about Moldova! It is poorer, but as poor as Russia is. Russia has lost terrain to the last countries of the EU! And Russia destroyed Moldova and Ukraine too, not just autodestruction. Chisinau looks pretty European, better than 99% of the Russian shthole towns..
