So I just discovered Peters videos on Ukraine in January 2023, and I have to say its soo bittersweet watching these recent documentaries of such a peaceful, chill, free-spirited place like Kiyv, knowing its now been in full-fledge war for almost a year and some of the places Peter is showing are now probably rubble and ashes... the most tragic moment was when his friend said Kiyiv is the safest place in the world, that literally broke my heart.

Actually thank for “uncle Stalin” Ukraine is so big, it’s a gift from Stalin. Original Ukrainian people are around Kiev and west part of Ukraine, rest of the country it’s mix of other soviet people’s. In my opinion that gift from Stalin became as disaster for independent of Ukraine. If Ukraine was smaller and was a home for one nation (not what is nowadays, I read somewhere that 50% of population of Ukraine are people from others soviet countries) they might be in better place as they are now .

@neuralcircuit It sure was. The richesse of fertile soils (specialists say about 70% of the best soils of the world!) + plus hard working skills of the Ukrainian farmers combined earned them that reputation. By the way, during the WWII, when Germans occupied Ukraine, they used the railway roads and trains to take that soil and transfer it to Germany. Even in the Soviet times, Kremlin was artificially creating such conditions to force the Ukrainian farmers not only to work on their land but oblige them to go to Russia to work on their fields in summer. How? Just by artificial restrictions in selling building materials (bricks, wood) to Ukrainian peasants: only those who were working in Russia had right to buy a certain amount of such materials and usually at higher price than elsewhere in the USSR where prices were supposed to be equal. But even under such conditions, the Ukrainians managed to build better housing than Russians did in their villages. And do you know the situation in the Russian agriculture now? - Well, fields are abandoned: millions of acres of land are being invaded by poisoning weeds... while Putine incites his people to go "gather 'Russian' lands" (by hybrid wars, of course) in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and Belarus... "Russian worker is a bad and lazy worker," used to recognize even their communist leader V. Lenin. That's why Russians can't stop willing to retake what they lost to the nations willing to go independent and not to be at mercy of then foreign and hostile power (Russia) when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

@@Truffle_Young_Jr - You have a very superficial knowledge of the Soviet political system to claim that Brezhnev was Ukrainian. The fact that he was taken to Moscow from the former Dniepropetrovsk in Ukraine doesn't support it: in the Communist Party (at the level of cities and provinces), as well as in the Soviet Army and KGB, existed a system of rotation of "cadres." Most of top level positions were filled by Moscow in the first place. More to it, the second secretary of each town, province, big industrial complex, University, etc. was always of Russian origin and affiliated with KGB. Besides, in every big unity (research institute, factories, school district, university, etc.) there was a so-called "department No. one" (первый отдел) composed exclusively by KGB agents, usually controlled from Moscow and which were permanently rotated to prevent establishing links with local people... Example: the Holodomor (extermination of millions of Ukrainian peasants in 1933) was carried on by the Central Committee of the "Communist party of Ukraine" where all of its members were sent from Moscow and were of Russian and Jewish origin.

fascinating watching this with the current situation in Ukraine

I really enjoy how Ivan explained Holodomor's context and what the consequences it has in our mentality. I couldn't have explained so clear even on Ukrainian. Respect.

It is wrong to say that Ukrainians like to suffer. We as a nation had a tough fate, huge numbers of lives were destroyed. This cannot be forgotten, even if we wanted to. This cannot simply disappear from people's consciousness. So suffering found its way out through the culture, but that doesn't mean we like to suffer. We hate it as every other living being does. Holodomor 1932-1933 was a genocide. Anyway thanks for talking about this part of our history . The world must know.

Hi! I'm Dave, a British musician. I live in Kyiv: you absolutely nailed this documentary!

Did you notice the number of cars in the streets of Kyiv? - That's one of the reasons of poor air quality and huge traffic: people rushed to buy foreign cars, mostly used ones from Europe that often would not pass the exhaust gas standards... At the same time, a relatively good and functioning system of public transportation was drastically reduced or even destroyed (tramway and trolleybus lines). You should see the number of these favella-like looking car garages along the railway lines and other spots... - Consequence of poor government policies in the matter, on one hand, and on the other - not less poor level of public education about the environmental issues. While in the West the level of auto saturation was rising gradually and measures were taken to controll the air quality, here, in Ukraine, it all happened (from practically zero public cars up to the 90ies) very quickly without any control... So nowdays, the number of cars in Kyiv surpasses that number of many European capitals. It looks like the anarchy is still in blood if this nation. Same happened with consumption of goods and packaging of products: the amount of which increased to the unseen levels while the recycling facilities and habits of people "laissent a desirer" as Frenchman would say. Add to it that all the government and public attention, especially from 2014 when Russia started its direct aggression, was turned to the needs of the army and defence, and you will understand the situation.

@@TheNecessityofVeracity - І guess you might be right... I was in Kyiv more than 20 years ago (1998), and the previous visit took place 20 years before, in full blossom of the so-called "real socialism"... There was so much enthusiasm in the air when got their independence and started restoring the monuments and churches that communists had destroyed. They say that Kyiv lost about 300 churches to the Communist rule! Currently all their enthusiasm is turned to cars and modern construction. But I remember that chaos and confusion of the 90ies with crowds of people in the improvised markets selling everything they could put the hand on to survivre. Factories were closed and all production collapsed. The Western advisors convinced the inexperienced in market economy government to open markets to foreign goods; and one can only imagine what it was like to live there at that time. Argentina with all that "privatisation" of the state owned industry we witnessed would look like a paradise in comparison... But what especially worried me (I wrote a lot about the post-communist world in the frame of geo-politics) was the step-by-step increase of Kremlin hostility towards Ukraine: it was a real economic, political, information war that Russia was waging against Ukraine while the West was closing eyes on it. To the point that I was expecting the military actions to start in the beginning of the years 2000... I'm convinced that Ukraine would be a different country today had not Russia done everything to strangulate that country.

Hi, Peter! The reasons for the famine are much deeper than the guy told you in the video. In the 1930s, when the Big Depression began, the USSR could no longer receive external development loans . And Stalin did not think of anything better how to take away property, valuables and food from the entrepreneurs of that time. They took everything for the "needs of the country", even shovels, rakes and food. Stalin was a "cannibal" in relation to people. Commissars went door-to-door and took property from farmers. There was such a slogan that "the rich had to share their blessings with others" and that "everything goes to the needs of the homeland"

People did not have freedom of speech and freedom of movement. If you spoke badly about the authorities or exposed their crimes, you would be sent to prison, shot or sent to a labor camp in Siberia for 10 years, where you would most likely die from unbearable conditions and diseases. Moreover, people could not travel outside the country. Until 1975, the villagers did not have passports, which was essentially slavery, you could only go to the city to study at the university, and this could be the reason for obtaining a passport.

One of the best movies on mass murders, psychological profile of KGB (NKVD) murderes and about victims is the movie "Chekist" (it was available on youtube), created immediately afer the collapse of the USSR when all censorship also collapsed. When Putin (KGB) took power in their hands such movies became impossible: the censorship is back in place.

The safest place.. well

Do an episode about Brovary

At 8:27 the man said stay here it is the savest place. Sad that one year later tings are the opposite💙💛🕊️

Love you brother from pakistan lyari 💝

Very wrong to consider Holodomor without examining history of the moscowian empire (birth of the moscow by mongol empire, its early life as ulus of chingisids khans and orda and other valid circumstances of those genetic) and without considering 300 years slavery of Ukraine. Also wrong to look at current war whithout remembering Ichkeria, Sakartvelo and 3 failed attempts to anex Crimia

the mores i want to go those club🥳🥳🥳🥳😂😂😂

How is the food in Kyiv?

🕊

Like! :)
