๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ Bulgaria is a land nestled between sea and mountains on the southern border of Europe. Its location made it a target for invaders, however, although subjugated for 500 years, the Bulgarians never gave up their hope to one day be free again. Join me as we make our way towards one of the greatest examples of communist architecture as we explore the hidden ancient and communist past of this friendly nation on our way to...Buzludzha..

    This is your first video since the passing of my little brother back on March 4th. He was 25 and self-taught fluent in Russian. We used to talk about your channel and how we wanted to go to Russia together and ride the train. I shared that at his funeral and said Iโ€™ll soon go to Russia in his honor. Thanks for inspiring me and giving me something to connect with him on.

    My wife grew up from 1981 in Bulgaria Sofia. I met her in 2002 as she was as exchange student on visa to pay for college. I never let her go. She is my prize. The best woman a man could dream for. We live in Maryland and have 4 children.

    As a bulgarian, I am literally shocked how many foreigners in the comment section like our country. Thank you all and you are always welcome! There is so much more to see! Bald is number 1.
  • Hello Mr.Bald, this video hits real close to home as I'm from Bulgaria, but I'm currently studying in the Netherlands. I wanted to say that I admire your fascination with slavic countries. Bulgaria and its people have been through hundreds of years of hardship, mainly under ottoman rule and soviet communism, but still we have upheld our values and traditions. The villages that you visited in this video are just a couple of the thousands that are currently in disrepair due to the population either aging and passing away or the youth moving to bigger cities like Sofia. I am really grateful that you are showing part of the lives of the people that live there, my grandfather is in a similar situation and it brings me joy knowing others from all around the world are getting to see this. The country is truly beautiful, if you take away the fact that it is being ravaged by corruption and political greed. Nevertheless, thanks for showing Bulgaria to the millions who watch your channel! All the best from Montana, Bulgaria. ะ‘ะปะฐะณะพะดะฐั€ั!
  • The solo vids are sooo much better. Great stuff - fascinating insights, thank you

    You probably wont see this but a very good friend of mine Vladimir passed away recently and it was very tragic and sudden. He was Russian/Ukrainian but moved to america in the 80's. He was a super fan of your channel and i just would like to comment this to let you know how much joy you brough to him when i showed him your channel 2-3 years ago. He always complimented on how suave your russian sounded.

    Mr. Bald getting back to roots. He couldn't restrain himself and his desire of adventurazing into new mosaics and Soviet stuff. And this episode was magical. We can fell your joyness and enthusiasm. Let's say you are really a British guy trapped in a Soviet soul.
