KhTZ: Ukraine's Most Dangerous Hood 🇺🇦

🇺🇦 I hadn't been in Kharkiv very long before I started hearing about the dodgy gopnik filled suburb called KhTZ ( Kharkiv Tractor Plant ). None of the people I spoke to had actually been but they all told me stories of a region known for its fights and muggings. Well I decided to go check it out with my good mate Johnny. Join us both on a gopnik adventure in Ukraine's dodgiest hood.

@@thepredators1111 Yes, it's tragic. The only way is to get them at a very young age and educate this potential madness out of their head. Schools should teach respect, manners, kindness, compassion, self-defense, why bullying is bad etc. It doesn't happen. Instead they get smartphones and become polluted with garbage, not everyone of course, but the majority. I sometimes see toddlers in pushchairs using a mobile phone. I wouldn't mind so much if they were learning things that helped them evolve and expanded their consciousness.

ХТЗ tractors were all over Eastern Europe back in the day. The legendary Харковчанка (Harkovian) giant Antarctic vehicle was also produced there. But most importantly, if you read or watch Victor Suvorov whose tank regiment was based in Harkov, ХТЗ covertly stood for Harkov Tank Industries, and they would switch tractor into tank production very quickly indeed if needed, churning out thousands of tanks. What I see is a post-industrial dystopia so prevalent in every region that lost its industrial life and trying to get by with the leftovers from the past.

Bald should really be given a big travel show - no change in format (just him no big camera crew or script)- just longer and able to reach a mainstream audience on TV - brilliant way to engage people with different cultures and the world

@@rockstarjoe5725 exactly why i said no change to format - no script - just him and a camera going around the world meeting real people and seeing places outside of tourist zones. I essentially mean Bald videos but with a longer run time and shown on tv so they can reach the general audience. Ben is very confident, outgoing and very good with teaching us about different areas and customs etc - better than what most travel shows do anyway imo

Gents, thanks a lot for the video. Have been smiling the entire time watching it. Lived in Kharkiv for many years and really miss this city. KhTZ is a fun 'hood' indeed but you are right, it used to be much worse in the 90s and 2000s. Good for you for uncovering Ukraine for the rest of the world. Cheers!

A year ago this video was about a little known region in an ex-soviet country few peope cared about. Today this video shows a Ukraine like it will never be again. A snapshot of a country before a cataclismic war changed its people, cities and landscape for generations to come, truly historic. These ordinary people we see here, some may be dead now, some may be at the front and some may have fled, but in this video they were living like people do, going about their lives. Today a chunk of them are 6ft under, its horrible.
