In the 1960s American spy satellites photographed a huge leviathan craft docked in the Caspian Sea. The CIA dubbed it the Caspian monster. It was however a top secret Ekranoplan that was built for war. It remained in a naval dockyard under lock and key after the USSR collapsed until recently when it broke free and washed ups on a beach a few hours to the south near the Russian city of Derbent. I flew to Rostov and set off across the varied landscapes and cultures of Southern Russia in search of the infamous Caspian monster.
Kalmyk song on radio is called Eejin Duun by Okna Tsahan Zam and is on FIworld if you search it.
This video was edited on iMovie don’t ask me how I know
As usual great content and put together excellently.
The real question is why the hell is everyone saying there are Kalmyks right up the road when there aren't any in all of Kalmykia
"Welcome to the delightful Yashkul!" - the jazziest and quirkiest welcome statement ever! Bald's Soviet and Post-Soviet adventures - the best content on FIworld. Greetings from Serbia!
This is so true... People live good lifes of others powerty... And the soviet did just that... Just like England.. USA and most of Europe... But next video visit the countries that was on the other side.... And you will find that most countries that still live in fear and poverty has a dictator as a leader.... Gorgy did what was right for the world....
How did you learn russian? was it online or in real life?
Very cool abandoned place !
this guy lives life like gta online just following other people around in his car
the fact that these people will never know that they’ve been seen by millions is insane to me
Yes. Azerbaijani war criminals.
I’m glad you are doing well bald I’m always happy to see your videos keep up the great work
Always interesting to see how many people miss the USSR both in Russia and the old republics. Great videos. Thanks.
why do people hate the prequels so much
You take Soviet name like something derogatory ..well it same as British Raj.
33:06 Bald discovers 2000 year old snowboard, the world's first.
So large, slow, and loud you didn't even need radar to detect it. ;-)
17:17 hahaha Azerbaijani war criminals I loved it 😂😂😂
Нет субтитров.Нет перевода.
It's just out in the open! Left to the elements, but still holding up. How sad.
Bold, this is definitely one of your top video. So interesting! I was following your journey on the map as you were driving through the provinces. Really great work!
Love from Nepal.❤
Not only are your videos entertaining but also educational. Learn so much about culture,language and history from your videos
Could you imagine a 6+ foot man appearing out the hedges to ask you about how you think about Gorbachev 6:31
Bald still looking for kalmyks who actually can speak kalmykian
Long live Gorbachev! He put an end to the spasmodic dying USSR.
Everytime I watch one of your Russia videos it makes me sad. I met the most lovely person from Russia when I lived in nyc and we became great friends, but she was very wealthy and from the city, and told me that places like this don't exist anymore, places that even decades after a communist dictator is dead people are still afraid to speak freely about the subject for the most part..... It's actually pretty terrifying
Is harrald and bald being kidnapped ?? Why haven't they uploaded
Being a Britisher, how come you speak Russian so fluently?
Great video thanks,!
BALD WHERE ARE YOU??? It's been 4 weeks and you have not uploaded anything. I am starting to worry. Hope you are fine!!
It’s a shame that aircraft has been left to rust away. Would be a great piece at a museum. That’s worth going to see if it was more easily accessible.
Merry Christmas Mr Bankrupt
Hello sir, It is tradition in my house to watch Bald and Bankrupt each and every time we are eating our meals. Due to your recent lack of uploading I have not eaten and I am beginning to shrivel. Please upload again soon. Yours Truly, Elijah.
🎍Ben where are YOU??? Are you healthy? Are you OK? Are you coming back?? Missing you so much! Merry Christmas Bro!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Wasn't he crossing mountains in central Asia lol
Man you have no idea how much we love watching your stuff from North East England. We first started watching FIworld to get hints n tips on van life ( our new pipe dream), stumbled across you, and wow, I can’t put it in words. Would love to see you do this shit in a camp van, oh boy We’d be in heaven 👍🏼🤗
is there any way to cantact this dude ?
Great road trip! Keep them coming Mr. Bald! And have some bloody borscht next time! ha ha!
i lived in a town and now in a city i regret being in a city because of traffic and even more walking
It's been 3 weeks since his last post... That's it, I think KGB caught him. He is rotting away in a Gulag by now.
it’d be awesome if my crush loves me like Bald loves Russia and the soviet countries
There were two built ! One was crashed
So... When is the trip to North Korea? You know u want to! Lol and we want to see it!
You are the best vlogger in this entire world👍❤
Can we just appreciate that Bald recognizes the fact that Azerbaijan's soldiers are a bunch of war criminals? Disgusting videos of beheadings, torture, and mutilation of Armenian teens and even elderly villagers from this past war in September.
When's next video please
Hey just wanted to ask that are u ok??.....there are no updates from u since 3 weeks
Holy shit! whole russia is a shithole except for moscow!(even that is a shithole) lmao thanks for showing us the world, baldman.
Very good Ben , I hope in the new year you will take us on a tour of Baikonur in search of BURANA merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Bald’s life Is legit a irl rpg 😂
Amazing, thanks so much for documenting this. It belongs in a museum! A huge Soviet museum with technologies like these would be a right tourist magnet.
where is bald?
This has made my lockdown so happy to have discovered Bald
Bald... please show us Sakhalin Island.
Man I love your channel, you have no idea but you have got me in trouble with neighbours because I crank the volume so I don't miss a thing you say and then on some vids you crank random music I have to grab the remote in a flash and turn it down. I don't care the dude downstairs is a bender lol
Almost 1 month passed. Hope he's fine!
Why on earth do they not honor history and restore it somewhat? I mean it belongs in a museum not out there to rot away.
I want a partner who loves me as much as Bald loves Soviet bus stations
wow those guys were cops? its so crazy how militarized our police are here in the US...
How’s the Soviet sink coming along? Haven’t heard about it in a while
sadly the soviet times did not get support from the people.
I just love this channel. He travels in the same manner I do. Too many commercial "travel shows", especially ones produced by companies in the UK, have a host who talks down to people in a really condescending manner, and who thinks it's comedy genius. Bald treats most everyone with respect, and in return is treated warmly by the people he meets. I hope to meet him on the road in a remote village somewhere in the world sometime in the future. It would be my honor to buy him a round or three.
At 27:20 was that bread nice? Also at 38:25 lol
FIworld took u off my subscription
Come to New Jersey we have a big Kalmyk community and FYI if you want to hear Kalmyk watch Return of the Jedi...its the ewok language
That plot twist was epic
That ending surprise tho! haha
Bald and bankrupt the new Andrew Bourdain! Scintillating food reviews!!!
You need one of those cossack fur hats!!!
Mr Bald can you please explain why Harald is not showing up till now since the Storm hit Mexico?
You're not in some Soviet jail are you, but you might actually like that - direct from some Soviet jail!
17:10, 22:55 Yes, they are our honor war officers. Greetings from Azerbaijan :)
Damn real huge moster. The very soviet way of building marvels...what a pity state it lies..at least can be turned as a great memory
Ever thought of hiring a camera man?
Bald and Beautiful, when will you go to CHINA.
31:09 That looks like a place that would be in Uncharted
You are the man......
that mountain village was so cool, I want me and my homies to live there haha
How is it that I’ve watched first hand my fellow men and women die from this pandemic, and you survived?
If you want to see a place that looks as depressing as Russia, come down to Odessa TX, we have shitty weather and even shittier landscape. It is nothing like the rest of Texas and there NO greenery.
Go back to Chernobyl !!!
43:08 the soviet Doggo on the right pays his ultimate homage to the leviathan and general bald signing off by staying still as a sign of respect. While the Russian anthem plays on the background.
ive always wondered how do you know the languages you know?
Russia is so diverse
What a great episode; thank you!!!
Time to get some proper shoes than those bloody converse! ;) And I know I know, I am not an old man at 35 but I might as well be lol ;) Correction!! I'm really glad you got new boots (wrote that only 13 mins into video lol)
Where is Alina?
It's time to go see kolya
im not even going to lie. But that place looks depressing
This was really one of your great videos with a nice and thought through story arc. Sometimes your videos dont necessarily make sense chronologically; its nice this one shows the full trip.
Watching and enjoying your video from Toronto 🇨🇦

Bald your videos are amazing I love how much you love doing this never stop doing these videos
I loved going with you in that journey just staying in my warm bed in Amazon region of Brazil. I am you fan. Amazing! You are incredible bright soul.
