Praga 20 years ago... Man, you would be stolen on the street full of peoples ten times 🙄 before reaching one crossroad from another. Szwedzka street, Brzeska street... Even police wasn't happy going there
@@MarksWorldOfAdventure I was raised there and lived through the hardcore times. Nowadays praga does not remind at all what it used to be like in the 90's. To answer your question - the main reason was poverty, anarchy after the collapse of the previous socialist government, drugs and minimal police presence. It was a very wild place, the birthplace of the largest polish criminal organizations. Street thugs were omnipresent and the fact that heroin was the drug of choice back then, junkies would steal just anything to get a hit. Like I said - nowadays it is completely different. There are some remnants of the past but praga is really safe. I've been around the world and I can honestly admit that.
Where you were walking is about as dangerous as Disney-world!. Shame you didn’t pick up on the history of Praga, and why it was considered a dangerous neighborhood under the communist.
