Thank you for watching the video! Let me know what former USSR countries you would like to visit or the most interested and curious about ;) 📌Also, check out my Russian Speaking Club & other projects here! elinabakunova.com/

I find that cluster of countries rather fascinating, especially since almost no one speaks of them. Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan--all intriguing & not much discussed.

"Patriotism isn't about waving a flag, but about being a kind of man that the place you live would be proud of" great words! Such a talented filmmaker, Eli !! Love your videos 🩵
-
Another top class video, the sanatorium was very unexpected and have real Soviet vibe. Thank you for the video.
-
This is the first vlog on Kyrgyzstan I have seen where Kyrgyz people get to speak for themselves. Very educational and quite entertaining. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

My mother in law went to a sanitorium in Crimea, had hot mud treatments and a similar experience as Aurora. And, she taught school in Kyrgyzstan early in her career as a Soviet teacher. Nice video!

Kyrgyzstan is an amazing country with nice people. You can enjoy the Soviet style and Modern style construction and building there. On top of that, the nature is fabulous and incredibly fascinating. The cities are clean and especially Bishkek is a green city.

The big problem with eating chalk is since the Calcium in it is an alkali. It neutralizes your stomach acid. Making it hard to digest your food. You might want to take it at night along with a magnesium supplement and you will get the best nights sleep you ever had.

Excellent subject about this hotel! Those children are so happy and beautiful! ❤❤❤ you always do such a wonderful job. I love to learn and see those countries with your original perspective.

Your work is wonderful. Thank you, Eli. Your personality is amazing and good.

"Patriotism is about being a kind of a man, that the place that you live in would be proud of." Over time you say some remakable things already but this - with your permission - I would like to spread. It needs to. I'm impressed and thankful - at the age of 70. Nice to see the likes of you grow up.

A donkey named Mahmood, kids that learn English, know Russian and Kyrgyz -- and eat flavored chalk! What an amazing place! One of my favorite streams. Eli, you have a talent with many cultures and the best videos ever.

Kyrgyzstan looks very interesting country, i ll wait for follow up videos :) The chatty kid was pleasure to watch :)
-
I always overlooked this country when I look at former Soviet republics but fortunately thanks for this video peaks my interest, I’m kind of surprised I would’ve thought Kazakhstan was gonna be more Soviet
-
It was so heartwarming for me to watch this video. I have been in Kyrgyzstan 2 times and I feel I left a piece of my heart in that country. The nature is beautiful and the people are very kind. Whenever I feel down my first thought is, that I should have settled in Kyrgyzstan.
-
Really cool travel. Thanks for sharing your beautiful experience ❤️

Please tell us that this video was delayed. I hate to think of snow in July! My favorite quote: "You need to be very strict with these Babushkas!"
