KhTZ: Ukraine's Most Dangerous Hood 🇺🇦 

If you'd like to follow the Mongolian warlord then his channel can be found here: ru-vid.com

Greetings from the Kharkiv Tractor Plant! We are glad to see you again in Kharkiv and we would like to invite you to a tour of our factory.

The toughest part of the trip is the tension that Johnny's tshirt had to suffer.

Those children where so sweet giving the man a cuddle, I hope they are all safe and well in this terrible war.

His videos in Ukraine hit different now.

I swear you never attract people in these country’s until you have beer or alcohol then some random old alcoholic spawns out of no where to bother you 🤣

Plot Twist: Bald is the actual warlord in the area, thats why everyone was so nice to him.

When I watched this last year, the name Kharkiv meant nothing to me. Little did any of us know how it would be thrust into our consciousness. I hope everyone Bald met is doing OK

I've noticed groups of youths and children in East Europe and Russia seem to have more respect for their elders and have friendly natures, more so than in UK. Refreshing to see.

"Do you feel safe in this town?" As a lonely woman is approached by two men with price tags hanging from their new shirts.

RU-vid just got interesting again🥂 ✌✌✌

The moment when he said to the store guy "its orginal right" then everyone starts laughing

I love how you walked around with the tags of the t-shirts still on 😂😂😂

That Mongolian Warlord guy Johnny is a legend... Bring him often...

Bald, that was an epic gopnik adventure. I'm glad neither of us got robbed. KhTZ turns out to be quite the nice little neighborhood!

Bald : I hope children won't attack me Children : ran to hug him 😂

It's weird to hear these names now.. Kharkiv... I wonder how the city looks like now.

When a guy with nothing more than a camera and a sense of adventure makes far more entertaining, educational and interesting viewing than the terrestrial TV channels with budgets of millions. That's why I'm here and this is where I'm staying.

I love the attention you gave the library. That lady has been waiting for that moment, made her day no doubt. This is why terrestrial TV is dead. Bravo 👏

This man has a natural hability to empathize with everybody, I'm glad for you and go on.

I love the Mongolian gopnik. Definitely need to feature him again.

One gets the impression that Bald and his friend were the only danger in KhTZ.

Other Ukrainians: "It's dangerous there! They'll rob you!" KhTZ residents: *group hug*

Best comment , " Safer than south Chicago". I spent all my life in south Chicago, and you are absolutely correct.

Just finding these videos now as I’m sure many are. 😭 for those lovely people. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

The bit at the Adidas market stall when you ask if it's original and everyone laughs, including the storekeepers made my day 🤣. .Happy to see you back !

Imagine being able to be serious when 2 fridge sized journalists wearing their price tag come ask you questions

This is so heartbreaking knowing what we know now, everyone he ran into was so nice and despite living in Ukrainian hood was so chillin. I know Kharkiv was recently taken back by Ukrainian forces but unfortunately I’m sure at a huge loss. RIP to any of those who are no longer around, these people deserved better

I didn’t really care if they took the tags off or not but I was going crazy that it wasn’t addressed. Thank you lady for addressing it. Now I can move on with my life in peace.

Ben: Have any of you locals seen any shady individuals lurking around? KhTZ Locals: Other than you two? No, not really

Feature more johnny, hes a great cohost and defender of life.

If those children, all running up to Bald and hugging him doesn't warm your heart.. Love the channel Bald! Thank you so much for such fascinating and phenomenal content!

Cool video! My son and I saw you in Hotel Tourist when we were in Kiev a few weeks ago. Our Ukrainian friend Andrei told us you were a blogger and we decided to look you up. Thanks again - AWESOME VIDEO!!!

The mongolian Guy seems like that one friend who puts up with all the stupid wishes of his overly extrovert friend haha. He is a good friend.

I love Johnny just floating around in the background, half listening and learning and half being the comic sidekick

I'm rewatching this in late May. It's like looking at a time capsule now just 10 months later. What Ukraine used to look like before the Russian invasion. It's hard to imagine how disrupted these people's lives have become. I hope everyone is okay but I know that cannot be true.

Crazy seeing this video and what Kharkiv looks like now

Just been bullied out of my job by management, feeling pretty shit, with no idea what to do, seeing bald back on RU-vid gave me something to smile about.

Johnny is legit. Arrives in one of the most feared areas of the country, immediately pisses on it.

Johnny is a legend we want more of you and Johnny doing adventures

Why RU-vid recommended this video 😭😭 get well soon Ukraine

My heart broke when all those children hugged bald. Such a beautiful and loving people in Ukraine.

Bald, you have to go into libraries in more of the places that you visit. I’ll bet library’s all over the former USSR have so many amazing artifacts and newspapers that nobody ever comes to see, and I’m sure they would love for an Englishman with a camera to come asking about their history. I’d love to see more of that.

Makes me so sad that look at the fun and frolics of Bald and Johnny in Kharkiv normal life beautiful city just a few months ago and now today March 11, 2022 a total disaster a senseless war. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Seriously mate there’re places in England rougher than that, those gopnik are ok compared to some of the English Chavs.

Welcome back, humanity has missed you. We need your humor more now then ever before

Random Stranger: "Don't go there" Bald: "I must go there"

Imagine how horrifying it must have been for those living in the Kiev Rus back in like year 1250 and you see thousands of Mongol dudes on a horse who look like Johnny FD storming into your village 😂

Watching this almost a year later I cannot help but hope all these beautiful Ukrainian people are okay.

This man has a way of making 20 mins feel like 3, so enjoyable.

This "dodgy" district looks 100×times SAFER and CIVILIZED than numbers of districts in Manchester, where I live.

I have had some good times in XTZ. I lived one Metro Station past XTZ for years and it is a lot safer than Los Angeles or New York but the locals will tell you differently; they always want people to believe Ukraine is the worst.

This guy is adventurous, tough, polite, kind, smart, intelligent and so wise and has a good sense of humor. Just the type of person I like.

Fun fact: Kharkov Tractor Plant (later evacuated to Nizhny Tagil) was the original producer of T-34 tanks during WW2.

When he said he had someone with him to protect him, I was waiting for Alina.

Another absolutely wonderful video from Mr.Bald. These never fail to turn my day around and make me happy. Thank you and keep up the great work my friend.

ХТЗ tractors were all over Eastern Europe back in the day. The legendary Харковчанка (Harkovian) giant Antarctic vehicle was also produced there. But most importantly, if you read or watch Victor Suvorov whose tank regiment was based in Harkov, ХТЗ covertly stood for Harkov Tank Industries, and they would switch tractor into tank production very quickly indeed if needed, churning out thousands of tanks. What I see is a post-industrial dystopia so prevalent in every region that lost its industrial life and trying to get by with the leftovers from the past.

I love how you regularly take several months long breaks and then casually come back and we're all okay with it 😂 I am glad to know you're alive and not in a soviet gulag 😂❤️❤️

The man, the myth, the legend has returned.

Those kids were adorable and bright, i hope the future is good for them.

Bald: "A needle on the floor... let's pick it up" hahaha we missed you

Typical Brits: enjoying their summer vacation in Barcelona, Ibiza, Faro Bald: Greetings from Kharkiv!

"yes i have a husband" "oh then we will not be together" 🤣🤣🤣LOL

"he pours his beer like an albanian chicken farmer" I'm dying Bald. Brilliant. Those people were beautiful.

What people say: "You should absolutely stay as far away from this place as possible!" What Bald hears: "You should absolutely go to this place as soon as possible!"

Bald, please DO NOT ever retire from vlogging, you and Harald are the most fascinating and entertaining vloggers on the entire Internet.

The group hug was adorable.

Bald you handsome rascal you! I’m a Soviet studies major and have followed your adventures for years now. If ever in Los Angeles you have a friend lots of conversation in store and a place to stay if you’d want. I have no friends to endlessly talk about Soviet and Slavic history and culture with and drive my loved ones insane - also I’m happy to be one of your 3% of female viewers that made me feel a little special haha - all the best in the new year 🧡

Plot twist : Johnny and Bald were the gopniks all along.

Every fucking time you have a period of time that you don't post... I think: "Well, they finally got 'em". The suspense is actually killing me. You're killing me, man.

Johnny really has massive shoulders, the girl in the shop was right😅

Bald is that boyfriend who randomly disappears for weeks together and then suddenly shows up like nothing ever happened.

Your videos are always a breath of fresh air

A year ago this video was about a little known region in an ex-soviet country few peope cared about. Today this video shows a Ukraine like it will never be again. A snapshot of a country before a cataclismic war changed its people, cities and landscape for generations to come, truly historic. These ordinary people we see here, some may be dead now, some may be at the front and some may have fled, but in this video they were living like people do, going about their lives. Today a chunk of them are 6ft under, its horrible.

"Do you have a queen at home?". I love this.

BRO YOU'VE BEEN MISSED!

Johnny is great! Not taking the tags off your cloths drove me nuts! Happy to see a new video from you.

It looks like paradise compared to some neighborhoods in my motherland Dominican Republic…..

That group hug made me tear up a little bit. That was so sweet :D It was unexpected as heck

"Don't go there" "Locals don't even go there" "Most dangerous part of the city" all these things, and many like it are like cat nip to the Bald and Bankrupt!

It's incredible how polite and kind Ukrainians are, despite having had such a rough history and a lot of them still living poorly . Even the homeless guy rummaging through the trash was polite. God bless Ukraine and it's beautiful people ❤️ we love you!

"Listen give me the sunflower seeds" :D :D Great episode, had so much fun !

"And theres a random woman in a dressing gown just walking through the park talking to a tree" 😂😂😂

This channel is the most wholesome thing on the internet, and I will lay down my life and also the lives of others to defend it.

I don't know how to explain this, but you bringing us along on your journeys is incredible. I am so appreciative that you bring me along to see the parts of world that I know I will never get to see. So thank you Bald, thank you so much! :)

Man Bald has opened my eyes up to a world i never knew existed for the last 2 years, be a sad day when he leaves the platform

Keeping the tags on the clothes was hilarious and wearing bucket hats to fit the part. You def proved a point tho that younger people do dress like that tho.

Johnny is like a direct descendant of Gengis Khan 😂 you should always bring him with you, whenever you're entering a dodgy neighborhood

It's amazing the power of knowing a different language. This channel is so amazing because you really communicate with people, everyone saying your Russian is amazing, you get so much more information and respect from the locals because of it. Great to see you back Bald!!

B&B, I know my comment will be lost with so many on this video, but once the madness is over, please go back and visit Ukraine.

It looks safer than downtown Memphis, that's for sure.

That girl pulling a bag of sunflower seed from her bag at the end was simply priceless !!!

"Do you have your own queen at home?" - I thought she was awkwardly asking him if he was british :D

Intelligent and entertaining. A rare occurrence in RU-vid.

That mass hug was absolutely vicious! 😂

17:00 Just the sweetest thing.

I really enjoyed the dynamic Johnny and bald had, very entertaining but actually giving off two very well informed perspectives

16:31 Bald: lets hope kids don't attack us 16:32 Kids: guys, who will die first?!!! (it's really what they were screaming)

Bringing a Mongol warlord to the Ukraine? Has this man ever read a history book from before the Soviet era? :P

Villiager: "dont go hereee!" Bald: " so ive decided to go here."
