How DANGEROUS are GHETTOS in UKRAINE? Kharkiv.

- I wanted to show one of the porest parts of my hood in Kharkiv, where financially struggling families and minority communities live in Soviet-era dormitories. I call it a 'ghetto,' and in some ways, it really feels like one.

I fell in love with Ukraine back in 1998 and I visited every year or two until the war started. I was in Kharkiv several times, but mainly in the downtown. I still have many friends in various cities and I plan to return again in spring 2025 to visit my friends. Slava Ukraini.
Oh the hoodie, the garment that gets no love 💔! It wasn't until I watched your video that I realized this sentiment went beyond the borders of the U.S. It seems it is universally associated with the unemployed, the downtrodden and the hooligans of the world. I wonder if the person who invented it realized that their creation would someday be used as camouflage for persons exploring the back alleys of society. 😂 ❤❤❤
Thank you for the coffees and thanks, Kenneth! And yes, having that hood is pretty convenient for a bit of extra warmth and wind protection, especially when you're out and about!
Thank you for showing us this part of Kharkiv. I have a friend who grew up in Kharkiv, now he lives in Melbourne Australia, he is quite prosperous now, & has largely forgotten what it was like to grow up there. I will show your film to him.
Hi Tatiana, thank you for this heart wrenching scene of the city you were raised in. One day out of these ashes will rise a village to love all over again. It will take a vision with brave souls like you. The tears and sorrow are too many over this pointless and tragic war. The dictators throughout history always get their just deserve in time. In the meantime try your best with your body and keep your wonderful mind safe.
Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
Thank you Tetiana for showing us around the ghetto of Kharkiv. It does seem sad to look at, but its good to know its not too dangerous to walk around in. I really hope one day, it will be good again and built back to what it was. Stay safe and keep posting the interesting videos, i love watching them, its real and what is actually happening. 🙂✌👍
Hello, Tetiana, good to hear from you. Thanks for the video and for sharing your story with us. Stay safe.
Thank you, I will!
Thanks for the video. You are an honest guide and observer in Kharkiv. I really appreciate your point of view on the current situation. Stay safe. 💙💛
Hi, Tetiana. Just discovered your channel - enthusiastically liked and subscribed!...Your bravery for remaining in Kharkiv is commendable, and I am super impressed with your presentation skills, and the humanistic way that you introduce us to your city...It's good for us in the West to see what's going on there, so that we can get an idea of what needs to be done in the rebuild of your city. Some, not all, of those neighborhoods that you show us will be rebuilt, not in a brutalist Soviet or Russian style, but in a uniquely Ukrainian and European design. The kruschiyovkas will be torn down, and Kharkiv will take its place as one of the most beautiful and prosperous cities in Europe in the aftermath of this war. Thank you for the tour. Mabuhay from the Philippines...Slava ukraini!...
Thank you for the kind words! I definitely need to show the beautiful side of Kharkiv in upcoming videos-there’s been a lot of modernization, and our parks are absolutely amazing. But the city has a lot of contrasts - modern parts and worn-down ones!
I grew up in a two room trailer with two siblings and our single mom who never took any government assistance.
This ghetto doesn't look so bad to me.
What was the "ghetto" like in the USSR? Free housing, kindergartens, schools and higher education, medicine. Yes, the apartments were not given immediately, it was not very comfortable. And there were enough problems in general. But everyone lived peacefully, without fear for children and the future, without rampant crime and drug addiction, without hatred of neighbors or other peoples.
The real ghettos began in Ukraine, Russia and other post-Soviet countries with the advent of capitalism. However, Tatiana told about it in the video.
Look at the map of the neighborhood where Tatiana was. The area was built up during the USSR. There are about 20-30 apartment buildings, 3 kindergartens and 2 schools with sports grounds inside the district. There is a fairly decent distance between the houses so that there is light, green spaces and a place for children's games.
This is a typical late Soviet building in any major city in Russia, Ukraine and other republics.
They don't build like that anymore (I'm from Russia). The houses have become taller, stand close to each other, and most of the space is occupied by parking for cars.
У Харкові ніколи не було гетто. Ця пані типова брехуха. Я з Харкова.
Thank you for the new video Tanja! :) Please stay safe out there!
Thank you, I will!
God bless and thank you for the video.
I have been watching your channel for awhile now. Danny Holt started asking me to watch your videos with him. Heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing your story and your life with us. Sending prayers, love, support.
Love and hugs,

Hi Sarah! Thanks for your and Danny's support! Hugs!
Hi Tatian i just come back from Ukraine i felt safe walking all over Lviv even at night around the back streets some thing i would not do were i live in the uk ,even in the day time here its not safe ,to walk around certain streets ,take care there
Thanks! The crime level is pretty low here even during the war.
@@TetianaSimI want to know how can you talk about Ukraine Ukraine is going through a war they don't need no pro-russian citizen talking about Ukraine like that and I have a lot of friends from you from Ukraine that says one of the most beautiful country and they don't need no progression person like you talking about Ukraine
@Gregoryking-e9q who are you to censor others? Ukraine also has serious ultra nationalist issues, especially in Lviv. Azoz, Aidar and Right Sector are just 3 of more than 30+ such groups. Ukrainian authorities, especially in western Ukraine actively destroy Soviet and pre Soviet Russian monuments.
Thanks for showing Kharkiv as a whole area.Had hope the video was longer. Perhaps get a friend to accompany in a rough and poverty-stricken neighbourhood during your video taping.
Hello Tetiana. Loving your channel. I am from the UK and have been to Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa and Kharkiv as a tourist this year. I am going back to the wonderful mysterious city of Odesa in 4 weeks. Maybe do a video of the horrors of the Saltivka estate while you are in Kharkiv? I took many photos when I visited but a video would be better to educate people on the sheer hell of what happened? Your english is very good
Not what i expected. Nice to see it from a local's point of view. Keep up the good work.👍
Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. Have a good day!!
Thank you! You too!
I really like your vedio content I give u 👍 very interesting vedio content u have I originally from ukraine 🇺🇦 lviv iam currently living in Chicago Illinois thanks for show to everyone.
Interesting report thanks.
Awesome channel. Your style and content is great to see
Glad you enjoy it!
Love your content!!! :)
Your video is better than many other Ukrainian videos about Ukraine Posted on RUclips. You are giving us a look at what others never filmed before. That distinguishes your content from the rest of the crowd.
Thanks for the compliment!
Very good Tanya!I didn't know there were lots of bomb shelters there. I hope one is near you. Stay safe for us all! Cheers, Danny 💗🌹💗
Thanks Danny! Yes, I filmed the one near me.
Lovely to find you. Very interesting.
Several years ago i ran across the kreosan channel, i became very interested in Ukraine and my best friends mother was born there, I so wanted to visit your country, my best friends mother said i should try meeting a Ukrainian lady, the women there are truly beautiful as so are you, hopefully the war will end soon, God bless Ukraine. 🌹
So proud of Ukraine.
Why....have you seen how they recruit men, and how they treat Russian speaking citizen's.
@@Juan_van_Eeden977 you are delusional and brainwashed
In my 225000 city in Canada the poorest parts of the city are still dominated by single houses with some apartment buildings no higher than 4 stories. Lots of boarded up and neglected houses . Drugs are a huge problem. Your excursion seems 10 times safer than doing the same here by yourself with a phone .
I've just subscribed to you. Your videos are amazing. You are a great person ❤
Lee from UK
Thanks for subbing!
Hungary has plenty of this soviet heritage too.. Houses are exactly the same,, yards as well. Neglected, but safe. I lived many years in similar places (mining town). Some good memories when these places were full of modest , but decent life.
Thank you for your comment!
It feels weird for me to see my childhood schools because they've changed and I'm different too - older, taller and somewhat wiser. Kharkiv city has undergone so much change as well. It must feel strange for you to compare it now with what it was then.
Hi @FlyingPurplePizzas! Always glad to hear from you! Visiting my school brought back some childhood memories.
I work at a major shipyard. back in 1990 in the USA when Russia collapsed. The shipyard. automatically in one month laid off 5000 people in within a year. 20,000 people.
Similar situation with numerous factories all over USSR.
Hello Tetiana , I am currently in Ukraine delivering aid , equipment and supplies and am based in Kharkiv Oblast so I was told about your videos and what a ray of sunshine you and your informative films are to me . Kharkiv has had a war torn history exchanging hands 4 or 5 times during WW2 so it’s no stranger to war and is now liberated for the final time …hopefully .
Thank you for describing parts of the City and walking areas I have not seen and for telling your stories related to your upbringing and current struggles of the city and the people who incidentally are some of the nicest I have met . Please stay safe and look after yourself .
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️🇬🇧✌️
Thank you for helping the people of Ukraine! Stay safe too!
@@TetianaSimdo you think the Kiev centric authorities ignored developing Kharkiv and surrounding towns and villages like they did in many parts of eastern Ukraine?
@@paintsilj Not at all. Kharkiv has seen a lot of investment and development, especially in the city center, with modern parks, historic buildings, and large shopping malls. The area shown in the video isn’t representative of the whole city. It’s actually common in many large cities, even in wealthy countries, to see modern, well-kept areas alongside neighborhoods that are less developed or neglected due to various factors.
Very professional presentation.
Excellent video
Have a fun day
London
Thank you! You too!
Thanks
thanks
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Your comment about the Ukrainian Ghetto being safer than many areas in the US is sadly true. While the US is usually modern, clean and safe there are large areas where drugs and guns are always present. Just like in other parts of the World, poverty and ignorance are a cancerous blight. It is sad that the richest nation in the world is beset by a general lack of concern for the underclasses that live amongst us. It's not just in large US cities but many rural areas are actually worse and have out of control crime rates. Thanks for sharing your videos and observations.
Thanks for your comment! I was in the States last summer, staying in a small, cute, and clean city-Rochester Hills, MI. But nearby was Detroit, and when I visited, I honestly didn’t feel very safe there.
I blame Trump for that.
The problems with our "ghettos" in North America is mental illness and homelessness. We essentially have open air mental asylums where people with problems are left to live with minimal assistance. That is very different than in this video where it's just poorer people living their lives.
How do you deal with and treat severe mental illness in Ukraine?
Beautiful thumbnail 👍
I’m impressed that there is no graffiti or sabotage and it’s very clean everywhere 👍🏼 compared to how it looks in Russia 🤢 Ukrainians definitely have a different mindset compared to Russians. I also liked how green it was everywhere. I hope I get to travel in Ukraine after the war. Slava Ukraini ❤
your English is really good!.. not that i would know as im American LOL
You´re a lovely Gopnik with your red Hoodie :-) Like your style😘
Oh thank you!
If you start to think of alcoholism and not finished cancer research and dead people at same time you can see perfect imagine how everything comes to an end and alcohol and drugs are and was still something what is or was helping to get away from everyday reality and save energy and food but what also made people lazy and less concentrated on growing planet and helping microbiology and wildlife and without wildlife winters are much colder maybe it's easier for hunters but most people have to worry about heating and preservation of own body energy
Hi dear. I have enjoyed your walk. I see dilapidated neighbourhood similar to many in former Socialist countries. When work run out this areas went in to decline. It still seems nice. Nice pavement and road. Ferly clean. N rubbish everywhere. No burned cars. You walk freely. People go out with kids. Building are bit unloved but still way better than similar buildings in UK. Not sure if US have this type of buildings. But you should check US ghettos and you will quickly see that this Kharkiv neighbourhood does not compare to crap they are living in. Anyway kudos for trying to keep living life as normal as possible and trying to make it in to something meaningful. I have lived try war. It is like undeserved prison sentence. You can't stop it, you didn't ask for it, and what is worst there is no future. Good luck dear. Stay strong! Do you!
Thanks for your comment and support!
Great tour and sense of humor.
❤Kharkiv
Am I the only one who feels the city17 vibes from half-life 2 :)
I can just say we are so so sorry can t helping hero peaple.but we suport ukrain until freedom and victory🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦💪❤️🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺💪❤️🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺💪❤️
How dangerous can they be, there's no men left in Ukraine
There is much trees and space to make a nice park area ,more trees and benches if the people were not so lazy but why is the grass dead
💙💛🙏🇺🇦🙏💛💙
Just subscribed! Don Los Angeles California! I probably would want to be in your country than the USA 🇺🇸 today!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Haven’t finished watching yet comment as I go through the video! I wish there was a way to upload a picture of me in the comments area? Do you know of a way to? Don I hate the Russian government! My great great grandmother came from down by CRIEMA!
I hope God, Yahweh bring a little peace but we entering the Final phase.
Stay safe.
Greetings from west
Looks safer than most neighborhoods in Canadian cities. I would love to come to Ukraine it looks and sounds wonderful, especially the people. SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 🇨🇦❤🙏🇨🇦🇺🇦❤
It's called a slum or run down area. Not a ghetto.
waves
We call them bars "Goal Posts " I would not push my luck going into them abandoned buildings on my own to much . Hopefully the War ends soon and You are all safe . Looks like everything east of the Dnipro River is going to be Russian .
Thanks for helping me with English!
Inside those buildings 100 percent alcoholics, when I was in Kyiv 2021, in place where I was staying was alcoholic guy, I was afraid, I left Ukraine took flight to Moscow via Minsk, Russians didn't allow me entry, return me to Minsk, than I crossed to Russia, payed taxi, cross border fallen tree small river
there is no such thing as ghetto in Ukraine.....and yes its much safer than the west
Yes, except drones and missiles strikes and threat of occupation and genocide/torture. If rusia didn’t exist it would be safer then west. U can run from a dumb kid with knife, but u can’t hide from rockets 24/7. Maybe school shooting is a threat, but, kids should learn to not bully others, maybe then they won’t get shot.
Love you beautiful!
Приємно це бачити, я сподіваюся, деяких людей можна врятувати від потворної війни політиків.
Дітей у Маріуполі вбивали і жінок у Бучі ґвалтували російські політики? Дякую, що відкрили мені очі.
👍
i imagine how much money got stolen on those shelters , put a bench in a basement , and tell west we built a shelter , can u tell us about ultra nasionalists or u may risk your life? they did recenty did drive through xarkov
Valid point about shelters.
Looks like Baltimore.
The problem with this video is the author is misusing a "ghetto" term. Ghetto is not just a poor district. A hallmark of a ghetto is that it is primarily occupied with a kind of minority, which is most often ethnic or religious. And this minority is often not on good terms with the outsiders. Since the districts the author is talking about are not populated by any sort of minorities, they for sure aren't as dangerous as the ghettos most of the Western viewers are familiar with.
Thank you, kind person! I was looking for this comment. The author completely misinterpreted the term, and the saddest part is that people from abroad who have never visited Ukraine will believe in "Ghetto in Kharkiv", which is not a thing (as long as I remember living in this town for 15+ years)
You don’t want to go to gettos in the USA!
Ghettos anywhere are unsafe.
Tetiana, you have no idea of what violence can be in french ghettos. God preserve you fron migrants. This morning i heard some news near Paris some young people attack with axes like in the middle age... i swear
Not really correct to call them Ghettos.
A Ghetto means a Jewish Quarter. Those are not.
Later it came to mean an area of some rejected race/ethnic group in America.
It always meant an area in which there is an isolated ethnic group. Gypsies for example.
But in these, it's the same Ukrainians as anywhere else, just poorer.
These are just called " poor neighborhoods" or " working class neighborhoods".
Thanks for your comment! It’s still a ghetto in a sense, as there are minorities from former Soviet republics in Asia, like Tajiks. In the early '90s, many Vietnamese people lived in this area due to the growth of the largest open-air market in Kharkiv. I didn’t show much in this short video.
shame it wan't builders of rlevators avenue
poor people
Thanks I like Ukraine and would love to go there. Let's meet your mom 1 time in these clips.
Thanks for watching! That's a fun idea! My mom is a bit camera-shy, but I'll see if she's open to making a quick appearance.
What does your name mean.,🤔✌️☘️
depressing place..
Kharkiv is a city of contrasts - some areas are lovely, some are not.
🇺🇦👍💐🙂
Hie tetiana..it is not scaring at al..compare to france paris where I spent 4 months before my return to asturias and then scotalnd..where I saw sceneries that look like a horror movie and ugly sites near paris..paris I can tell you is awfull compare to kharkiv where you live..
Thanks for sharing that! I actually felt the same when I visited Paris. I stayed in a neighborhood near the railway station, and it wasn't the cleanest or safest area. It had its own charm, but I definitely felt a bit uneasy at times.
I don’t think there’s any place for Americans can go?
Having seen videos of some other towns and cities in Ukraine it appears that the country is littered with dilapidated ruins of buildings. I guess from soviet times. Hopefully after you win the war your government will use some of the billions of NATO funding to tidy up these cities.
Can you tell us what make (name/brand) of tractors were manufactured by the Kharkive Tractor company?
I hope to visit your beautiful country one day.
It’s a bit funny that you mentioned beauty after watching this specific video, but Ukraine definitely has much to offer!
Татьяна, вы ждёте русского мира ?
Gopniks and Hooligans either was drafted to war or escaped to EU or U.S. or hiding out from Military Recruiters.
lot of old soviet buildings so in the 30 years of Kiev governing nothing has been modernised ? yet not far away is the brand new city called Mariupol ,
I am from the UK and no way could i ever support the dictator elensky and his Azov Banderas ,
Keep safe Tatiana and keep uploading
Jip....Corrupt Ukraine neglected everything. Mariupol look amazing today.
@eyesopen7946 I'm not here to defend the Ukrainian government-they’ve definitely had 30 years to do more. But looking around, you’ll find plenty of cities in Russia in similar or even worse conditions. I should film some of Kharkiv’s better areas next time to show that some improvements have been made.
@@Juan_van_Eeden977 Dir schlage ich vor nach Russland zu ziehen. Der Russe hat Werder das Recht Gestohlene Städte als sein auszugeben noch dort zu Bauen wie er möcht. Auch nicht in Königsberg. Das war ist und bleibt Deutsch! Und der Tag wo Rechnung gelegt wir kommt!
In contrast to 'eyesopen7946' I do very much support Zelenzky and 100% want Ukraine to win victory and a lasting freedom for their country and for them to become a member of NATO. But as I have said before, they will need to clean up the corruption that has destroyed the country since soviet era. And it's time they set up a proper social welfare system and house and support their unemployed and elderly and disabled citizens. With a clean government and a modern infrastructure Ukraine could be one of the richest most prosperous productive countries in Western Europe, in time to come. Slava Ukraine Heroaim Slava.💛💙🇺🇦
I'm of British descent and there is no way I would support the clowns you have running the UK now. You have obviously never been to Ukraine... I have, 4 times in the last 14 years. Zelensky got over 70% of the votes when he was originally elected, unheard of in a country with over 30 different political parties running in the election. Elections in Ukraine have been monitored since the 1990's by observers from different countries to make sure there is no "hanky panky" going on, unlike Russian elections where they just toss out a number in the 90%+ range and call it good. Yes, there was/is corruption in Ukraine, but when your society collapses as it did in the 90's, the jackals come out.
illegal immigration?
MMV?
Unfortunately, I can’t say for sure if they’re here legally or not. There’s a pretty big Vietnamese community nearby, drawn by the massive market that attracts a lot of people from Vietnam to work there.
@@TetianaSim Incredible! Viets in UA.
