The legacy of the Soviet Union in Mongolia stretches from the bustling streets of the capital to the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert. From fighter-interceptor bases to entire armies numbering in the tens of thousands, Mongolia was responsible for preventing any catastrophic clashes between Beijing and Moscow.
But what remains today?

@loopernoodling Год назад

Passed through Mongolia a few years back on a Moscow/Beijing train journey. Didn't stop there, but what impressed me most about Ulaanbaatar were the yurts on the slopes of the hills surrounding the city. It felt very evocative - the old life and the new, two aspects of Mongolia in one place!

Quite interesting, the documentary style is good - like something I'd expect to see on the telly except its without the presenters repeatedly positioning themselves against the politics of the country. I'm not sure what the filming rules are in different countries but I'd be interested in some videos from nearby china or further afield vietnam, maybe your portfolio would help you make your case to anyone who wanted to know more about your filming

This was a great video and while I subscribed for the North Korean content initially this made me very curious about more videos on other aspects of Mongolias recent history as well as the other Central Asian countries. Information on these countries is sparce because they aren't very significant in our current world order by most metrics. Considering the incredible impact on world history the inhabitants of Central Asia had it'd be great to see more about their recent history.

Central-Asia really is a part of the world that is rarely covered on RU-vid, seems like a mysterious and interesting place.

"mountains and stepps"... what else? "they were always drunk on vodka but not mongolian muslims but I don't much much because I'm an amerikan".

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan are similar because they are basically the same people, other Central Asian states are also Turkic and Muslim, but Mongolia is neither Turkic nor Muslim, nor was it a part of the USSR.

Scrubland, that makes sense. And Kudos on the sudden increase in production quality! (Camera motion could still be slightly improved though, it's a bit rigid in some places, 9:04, and try less shaking when moving around places such as stairs) (or it could just be my laptop)
