ARMENIAN SOVIET PARTY in 2023 🇦🇲
I PARTIED In The SOVIET UNION in 2023
Join me as we travel back in time to a long-gone era that fascinated me growing up.
We ventured into the suburbs of Yerevan to visit the Soviet Club of Armenia.
I was expecting to see a Soviet Museum but was in complete awe when I entered the building to find that the Soviet Union in this place was alive and kicking.
Set in an old Soviet silk Factory, everything in this building is 100% authentic, from the staff, the food, the furniture, the music, and the technology, and they even have an amazing collection of Soviet cars.
The owner, Haik, was an amazing host that gave me an experience that I will never forget. I could even say he made a dream of mine come true.
I was introduced to Haik’s friends and we enjoyed some amazing Armenian Cognac that dates back to 1976 and had an authentic Soviet meal. We then partied like it was 1989.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakuski and join me as we travel back in time and visit this last remaining Soviet Culture Center in Yerevan Armenia.
Thank you to all my Patreons for your support and helping make this channel what it is!

My dream came true and I went to see Midge Ure - can You imagine Ultravox behind the Iron Curtain in 1983 and song "Hymn" and words : Give us this day All that you showed me The power and the glory 'Til my kingdom come You know what it was for us in these days under Russian "freedom"

Today I visited there and lived the moments of "Soviet Era" "Nostalgic" word may not fit properly here because I was growing up far far away but I grew up listening about it from my grandparents and my parents TBH My colleagues, friends and family jokes about me that I was born in a wrong place 😂

Armenia is such a beautiful country with so much history and culture. I hope you have an amazing time when you visit and definitely make sure to check out this place. It's definitely worth a visit! Safe travels!👌👍
As an Armenian in England never new about this place. Cheers mate 🎉🎉🎉. Subscribed
Well, I studied the USSR and I can say that I respect this era very much. There were many disadvantages, but there were also many advantages, especially in engineering, science, education and construction. I'm glad to see that a lot has been preserved here. I talked with many Russians and they told me that they have mixed feelings - this is both nostalgia and resentment for the leadership of the USSR and sadness and delight. I asked, what are the more pluses or minuses in the USSR. All of them do not answer my question after a pause, that they remember those times definitely with positive emotions. I'm glad places like this still exist.

Great to hear the GDR mentioned at 17:19 I am a massive GDR enthusiast (mostly football) I also speak fluent German and go over to the former GDR a lot and I have actually seen an old East German Volkspolizei (people's police) Lada in a museum in Berlin (sadly not in working order like the Soviet one) would be great to see you do some content from the former GDR! Keep up the good work

Would 100% recommend a trip down to Halle Neustadt it was a city built for a the several chemical works in the area and is unique for the fact it doesn't have any street names. When you go it is like you have stepped foot in Siberia instead of Germany. Would also recommend exploring the districts of Hohenschoenhausen and Marzahn in Berlin as they are still properly East Berlin and you'll meet real East Berliners @@J.E.E
