The Greatest YouTube Video Ever Made! 

i guess they... threw a kitchen sink into it

🤣

Soviet sinks have a long history in Bald and Bankrupt videos.

Let that sink in!

He loves Soviet sink

YOOOOO HI

It's the man who visited all 47 prefectures!

yall should do a video together

OMG its mr affable himself!

Hope we get "Journey Across Japan - Escape to a japanese Spaceport" soon. Love your content Chris

Didn't mean to be boring too much but just to make it clear :) MVD where M stands for Ministry (Министерство). V is for Internal (Внутренние). And D is for Affairs (Дела). So its MVD or you would call it Ministry of internal Affairs. It's a regular police actually.

adventurizer*!

Yeah that sink was indeed a stunning relic

Walks 30 km like it’s nothing, you can see he was trained for this 😂

@@promontorium Even just a rusty old sink is interesting to me. They probably aren't made anymore, pretty rare.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

this is what got him banned right?

Hey Johnny! 35:24 I was thinking of you when Bald said "well one thing we've learned today is that it's easier visiting a spaceship than the space church". No dodgy burgers or gopnik dogs either! Cheers and hope you're doing well.

Preach🙌🙌

True. It was a crazy adventure and the real deal. We can see how emotionally rewarding it was for them to. That even alone contributes alot to this film. The passion is real. Thats why we love them.

For sure Johnny, for sure.

It doesnt get any better than this on youtube. Thats my very honest opinion.

Agreed!

You should see the one where he goes to Lunik 9, the Romani slum in Slovakia

It should sure get an award for stupidity and arrogance. 30 km walk with almost no supplies, tough terrain, no cover, there could have been sensors, landmines, high fences with barbed wire, guard dogs at large, sentries with orders to shoot on sight.............. that is how it was back in the Cold War era of the 20th century............ but I guess this is now the RU-vid era of the 21st century............. so they were released after a few hours with a small fine................ it could have been 20 years in the gulag............ but I do admit the 2 of them pulled off the biggest "spaceport tourism" visit ever.

They don't have the ability to move the shuttles anymore and they can't even get the door to the facility open. They have been sitting there since 1995.

I was thinking exactly the same, and why Russians guard and pay annually for that place

@@caracallacz I heard Russians shoot their satellites of from their that’s why they pay annually

My jaw dropped as I’m typing this wtf man this man is crazy

There's a museum like, 2km away from the building they were in

soviet sink > two burans

The only thing I'd say you forgot was "running" into Alina in the middle of nowhere. I love that it's become some little gag.

@@Faded-Tales-PreviouslyHarley Yes, I'm amazed by the coincidences with you two, especially when you found her taking a leak in an abandoned farmyard miles from anywhere and halfway through your journey, then waiting for the same goods train across the Sahara. It must be because your fans have described your posts as "magic".

@@capcompass9298 Clearly they are so connected on a spiritual level, they always find each other without even trying. Hahaha it's always fun to see how he'll just 'find' her- at a cafe? Taking a wee outside? Who knows!

Certified Bald Classic lmao

Yeah, he sould change the name of the channel to "Bald and Soviet"

He’s been captured and cloned…this isn’t the real Ben. It’s a Russian cyborg programmed to infiltrate and capture western secrets, he uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to download his stored information to a secret computer hidden in Lenin’s casket. Once his mission is complete he will self destruct in a chosen city rumoured to be Lichfield in Staffordshire. All this information was obtained using French espionage from the NorthFace database, who are cooperating with the Russians and created his blue armoured jacket with prototype hand warmers inside. You’ve been warned. If I go missing it was Ben

the bald part is not very ironic though

I could feel your excitement when you finally got it. Wow Ben, fantastic video. Loved it.

He makes his money pretty much in the first 4 minutes 😆

me too! never a boring second in his videos..or yours! 😁

Hi Peter!

OMG , pppeter i just discovered your channel recently and thought it reminded me a bit of bald and bankrupt and came to the conclusion that your youtubing must of been influenced a bit by him. this has just confirmed. love your videos btw

*just confirmed it

Well doen mr. Bond and Bankrupt

Noob question, Lana isn’t the girl that’s in this video is it? They look similar but I have no idea. Thanks

best RU-vidr around.

exactly!!💯

True, and same for me

same

Space might be the final frontier..but it's made in a Hollywood basement...sleep well

100$ is the price for foreigners. 15-20$ is more than enough. When I traveled to Buran with illegal tourist group, we have been pay 100$ for small bus and a local scout, who delivered us to Buran building across military patrols.

You are not Mark Twain, but like him, You Speak The Truth!

Not a single question in my mind that you do all this for real. Thank you so much for everything you bring, Wow

Awesome! Glad you found it!

Love this 👌🏼

Keep up the epic exploration! Hey I’m one of his female subscribers too btw! 😂

@@rob-fb5xs Go watch Vagrant Holiday 1-5 if you enjoy bald you'll like Vagrant Holiday.

Only 3%? Wow 🤣

People with zero balls always mock the people attempting to achieve things. It makes them feel better about themselves.

@@baldandbankrupt Quite right sir. Still can't quite believe what you achieved in this video. Outstanding

@@baldandbankrupt Honestly, I'm blown away by your whole trip. It almost felt like a hero's journey. And that you actually got to see it in all its crystalline soviet glory-the craftsmanship, the science, the tragic decay; I mean, when could one ever grasp at the clutches of fate to behold such an opulent, regal, and shimmeringly resplendent sink like that again?

@@baldandbankrupt did you have a compass to nav?

Bald's achievements are something that many can dream of. Not even the sky's the limit for this deadly duo (Ben/Alina). Hail the Gods of Soviet Adventure 🙇‍♂️

When the camera panned over revealing that they managed to get to the Buran, I didn’t expect to actually feel the emotion but I did

Sorry to hear you have hard times, from one stranger to another, hope your life gets easier and you, and to all here, find permanent happiness.

We all are on this journey together! Don’t forget that you aren’t alone. Reach out to anyone on here if you need someone to talk to. I’m sure we are all mostly friends here. Goodluck with your personal journey!

One of these days I think I'm just gnna rebinge Bald. I just thought about the one where he was biking around, bought a bottle of vodka and climbed a Soviet tower.

Offcourse you are welcome

Hasan.

Russian uber🤣

In Soviet Russia uber calls you!

@@lucianboar3489 and you drop driver home

I would just have a satelite-internet-devices for such trips. Whenever I can I would then save the files in the cloud. So even if they caught you, they cannot take the videos...

I learn more from this channel about the Soviet Union than I ever learned in any textbooks while in school.

99% in america

@@centerp1ece are you jealous of her ? don't be so rude, i hope she's in more of his content

Exactly! I can't even imagine what would surpass this!

Peak Soviet brain power? This was a copy of stolen US brain power. 😊

honestly my favorite youtuber, the best content out there even tv doesn't have a bald, were so lucky

@@IcelanderUSer and the US used Nazi German brain power. The real question is, where did the Nazis get their knowledge? Seek and you may be surprised what you find.

Much agreed! I'm not sure how to express it either! 🥲

Then you will love watching Shiey and Anton too

@@rizkydeshanda4235 I've begun watching Shiey recently! he is next gen bald and bankrupt lol. Still, nobody does it like Benjamin.

Agreed Sir. I started watching about two years ago and absolutely loved his Indian adventures. Little did I know back then that an amazing Soviet adventure awaited me!

Let’s be clear... they stole the plans from the Americans. The Soviets did most things first in space ... but credit where it is due ... Buran was American.

It shows how shortlived the things are modern humans create. 3 decades ago this was a place of peak human technology, 30 years no maintenance and it´s just a decaying wasteland. And the spaceport itself is still in use afaik.

I definitely could not have thought they would make it that far. I thought they'll just turn around in the morning.

@@hansoerteras3983 it shows how truly ephemeral we are. capable of the greatest and worse things, all of which will be lost in time.

Alinchik is the true hero of the video. Such a brave, strong and hot girl

Glad that she made it out of Russia

"You're OK, go on." No, that "ladder" could have broken at any time... They got lucky. This could have ended very badly indeed

@@dogchaser520 I felt the same, as someone who has fallen from a ladder and broke 3 limbs , it was close to my heart, but it was indeed worth it.

I could imagine him getting caught because he went to look at an old soviet sink

@@bigfudge2031 The real mystery for me was what the heck was the sink doing in the middle of nowhere?

@@RemyCT63 just another sink hole

That's how all of us live here in Russia unfortunately. Always scared to say our opinion (online and offline) :(((((

hey TBAG

Crazy seeing you here, dude.

Jij ook hier?

Misschien leuke collab doen met bald

That's amazing in itself but the fact that the Russian military essentially gave them a ride to the nearest hotel is nuts to me.

You paid $50.00 to say that and i got to reply for free.

Mate i need 50 for weed. Hook a brother up :)

Bald and bankrupt is the man on the moon!

@@DavInBritain not quite he couldn't figure out the launch codes. 😊

Thomas the Tank train! EPIC!

yh for sure, thats what made it so exciting.

Agree!! I usually read comments before watching the video to have a glimpse of what the audience had reacted. But this time, I watched the video first and it was worth it! After I watched the video, I scroll through the comments and Im so happy that I shared my emotion with other viewers. We have the same sentiments!

True.I bloody cried at the very first sight of the ship🥲

@@Cma2506 Yes, I got emotional.

Y'all don't think the local authorities knew about this the whole time and arranged to meet them as they came out?

@@srt4b nope

@@srt4b glad im not the only one who thought this.

Actually a lot of youtubers have explored it. Its an amazing destination.

@@lostpony4885 Yeah, it kind of IS in a museum. It just takes a bit of effort to get there.

FACTS

@@athaphian Sadly, it would be good if it was kept in good condition and offered tours, people would have paid to see this.

@@D33Lux exactly. They would genuinely make a lot of money if they turned it into a museum and sold tickets.

She's a keeper for sure.

the midnight train thru Africa was pretty wild...

They gotta be bangin man theres no way they arent

@@BuckingFuffalos69 saying what everyones thinking XD

@@BuckingFuffalos69 They are 100% banging

Any asshole can sleep in a car. Alina is the best.

Also the time they slept on a roofless train in an african desert

Best English youtuber by far

I can't recall that American youtuber where he gets lost in a jungle in Congo, trades a crocodile for a shelter in a remote tribal village and is later deported from the country as the governor thinks he's a spy. No one goes to Congolese jungles. Another one is a Russian channel "The people". He too is into such adventures.

@@ayushsaxena7770 If you happen to find the Congo video, let me know. Sounds very interesting.

Actually, I thought the fifty buck fine at the end was even more "wow".

@@TheNameOfJesus I thought about that. I guess they don't really care that much because they don't think most people would be willing to walk 30km through the desert and dodge the patrols. They probably sealed it up more now, too.

@@jimdandy8119 The 3 day prison sentence is probaly for people trying to acces the active areas where they have equipment actually in use, they probaly don't care much for this part

I know! When I saw that sink I knew it was a good omen! How crazy was that?

I paused video and laughed my ass off

When he turned that sink over and it made a crunching ground sound the subtitles said [Music]

That was such an amazing highlight of the video

What amazing serendipity! Imagine traveling 30 km on foot through a dark desert and Bald finds an abandoned soviet sink in the middle of nowhere. Epic!

maybe true... check out shiey's videos. that dude has slept in some crazy places

Do you have any idea how much he earns from a single video ?

He deserves my entire net worth for his effort

@@debsattam1 I don't give a fuck how much he makes from this video. I wouldn't do this for a million bucks, the man is literally risking his live to show us a spaceship, that's just about the coolest fucking thing on the planet

@@djsilversun You won't but there are many youtubers willing to risk there entire life for RU-vid money go check The people channel

Yeah its almost like they're married or something

@@Elbowbanditest2003 wait really?

@@nubidubi23 Yes lol

@@PartyhatRS how do you know?

@@berkay5087 because he's said it in multiple videos

I was thinking the same thing. They could be making some money out of that. The actual pad where the first human left the planet to go into space...loads of people would visit that.

@@IainInLondon I bet Russia thought no one would want that because of this whole Russia vs the West but I would 1000% go

It’s all still classified I guess. The soviet regime never opened up about its past still to this day because some of the old stuff is still used.

I tracked this place down on Google Earth and it looks like there may be some sort of visitors center due south of this hangar. There is even a shuttle sitting outside.

@@rvansteensel420 There's a shuttle on display just south of the hangar. Not sure who it is on display for, but it's there.

Yeah, who knows. Maybe someday he'll even take the requisite time and record some video of the content he reports on. I bet you his VIEWERSHIP would go through the roof! Until then, I guess we'll all have to settle for whatever "wiev" he gives us!

I mean, seriously, that launchpad should have been a tourist attraction, why fine people 50$ when you could Charge them 50$?

@@hippiemuslim Hrmm, I donno. Might have something to do with $50 in Kazakhstani tenge equals 23893.75 KZT and the average month wage for a Kazakhstani is 387,000 KZT... So basically you're asking a citizen of the country to spend 2 days worth of wages to see some old ass rusty tin can that used to be in space. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a shit decision to make when given the choice. But hey, apparently there IS a market for it considering the fact YOU just said what you did.

I would agree with you .He's a very cool guy.

@@hippiemuslim Because apparently he trespassed an international border... even if he was technically still in Kazakhstan the area they visited politically belongs to Russia. I love Bald's vids but this time he probably pushed the boundary a bit too far. I mean, he is a Brit citizen and a famous personality around the World and that's probably one of the major reasons nothing serious happened... but imagine what could have happened if just an ordinary nobody from Kazakhstan or former USSR did the some thing (except for Alina, she was with him)? Pretty sure it wouldn't have been just a 50 bucks matter!

absolutely loved it

Flying machines have no nationality. RIP Mriya.

@@shoeby9273 only that of physics

Probably the fact he was able too speak their language was why

@@cdoobs6763 Yeah the language and having a pretty lady with him too, both charming the police

Bald was in media before summer about this video. He explained its not a crime to enter where he did. You just need a permission. He entered without getting the permission. So since its not a crime, he was not arrested. Check daily mail and you will see.

My heart skipped a beat when i saw aline chick

I think a lot of people would love to go there, but sadly I don't think the proceeds from tourism is enough to secure old and rusty metal contraptions enough to make it safe.

Why are you lying? You’re not Rakesh Sharma lol

@@boofingenthusiast bruh he's just saying the only indian to go to space took off from baikonur, not that he was him.

So special for me also! The first Bulgarian to be into space blasted from Baikonur at 1979, the year i was born... Best wishes from Bulgaria!

@@blyat3422 I read it the same also. Unfortunate phrasing.

THAT'S EPIC!!!

Haha at 5:36 he's reading another magazine called "Babushka's Jam"

I was honestly worried they wouldn’t get to it since I knew they got arrested there. I’m glad they at least got to see it before they got caught lol. Won’t lie though I was thinking the whole time that the ladder was probably what got them caught. I can imagine some guard walking by like wtf 😂.

Well said. I actually was almost happy with them getting into the outer buildings, but to see them getting up the ladder and into the main hanger, that was the icing on the cake

Yeah, this is right up there with the Ekranoplan video, perhaps even higher. Too bad the An-225 was destroyed in this stupid war, a video on seeing it up close would have been perfect to complete the holy trinity of Soviet engineering.

Don't forget Dimash! 😁

All looks better than packed up Europe.

i have family in SriLanka, and I visited a few times. lowkey, srilanka has so many similarities with kazakhstan its wild lmfao. I live in vancouver rn but my teacher was talking abt how she visited Kazakstan awhile back and how its underrated.

You miss the episode where he was running from the cartel that burns people to death?

@@fisticuffs6767 what episode was what?? Holy shit?! 🤣

I dunno I've seen quite a few people go there before and they actually talked about the history more and gave a full inside tour.

@@babsch837 that's actually close to only 10 euros, I think 😅

@@babsch837 it’s Swedish Krona :) 100kr is approximately about 10€

@@babsch837 oh! I feel dumb now 😂

@@babsch837 hopefully Bald passes it forward when he travels

Yeah it'll go to some babushka in the end

Yeah he could easily have been detained in Russia for a prisoner exchange like what happened to Brittany Griner...

What about when he took the cable cars up into the Andes and the cartel showed up on enduro bikes and took his passport? “Time for a coca break!”

I imagine they catch people in there quite alot, not a serious thing there's other on youtube who have done this

Phenomenal video

@@-jank-willson Well he does speak russian and it also helps that she is Belarussian. Different what media nowadays make you want to believe, russians are not that bad or stupid.

Alina is for sure a true trooper. What a girl!

Probably helps when you've got a channel full of videos documenting your fascination with old soviet history, architecture, installations and cities.

That's a great story, but Baikonur was anything but hidden or secret and, having been to the area myself, to be stopped by guards you have to deliberately turn off the main road and drive towards big installations and buildings that are clearly military or industrial in nature and visible from far away.

@@CatatonicImperfect yeah been there a few times nice place

That's cheaper than a taxi ride for the same distance in a civilized country. Deal of the century if you ask me.

Sadly, the entire western media complex has become weapon against humanity as a whole demonizing entire swaths of people. Just a reminder one world government is here to stay. Being looted of our property, currency, soverignty and our very lives by a technocratic elite run by UN / IMF world bank as they "build better worlds" over the graves of those chosen for tax payer funded NATO gen o cide.

I grew up before USSR became extinct and I must admit I do have a soft corner for that country without knowing the realities there. But the thought of a socialist country is like dream to many who try to think for the people.
