Love Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan ❤from Uzbekistan

Бауырларыма Махабат✊🇰🇿 🇺🇿❤️🇦🇿✊ Грузияға сыйластық🇬🇪

I visited these countries last summer and I totally agree Azerbaijanis and Uzbeks are the most friendly.

I'm from Uzbekistan love all country 🇺🇿♥️🇬🇪♥️🇦🇿♥️🇰🇿

Kazakstan and Azerbaijan are the winners.😊 It is quite amazing that these countries despite being muslim majority has freedom of religion and is secular in their politics despite being authoritarian governments.

I visited Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan a few times. Both countries have welcoming and friendly people.

I'm an American that lived in Kazakhstan for a year. More civil, safe, and moderate than anything I've ever experienced in the states. Most people drink in moderation and I saw less hijabs than I did in my neck of the woods in Ohio. One would assume that it's not a very religious country, but on the contrary, it is far more religious than America. They just practice Islam a bit differently. One of the most mind bending experiences was landing in their Caspian seaport of Aktau. Everyone was dressed like 1930s depression era Kansas. Women in dresses similar to what my great grandmother wore and men unironically sporting peaky blinders hats. More pickup trucks than the other cities in the country. But lots of camels and Persian rugs. I absolutely love the country with all my heart and If I could eventually work remotely for an American firm, I would move back in a heartbeat!

Love Georgia from Kazakhstan

I'm a Filipino and I'm into Azerbaijan basing on my experience while visiting all 4 counties. Every year is a must to travel in Baku, my 2nd home.

Fantastic job! I enjoyed watching this. Makes me want to visit Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan has brightest future

As an Indian I would say Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are my favourite. Hopefully I will be able to visit next year and see the beauty and taste the delicious looking food there.

Superb video bro....In my opinion, Kazakhstan is at number one position

Watch this Kazakh, and you will know what country has the brightest future : Dimash Qudaibergen.

GEORGIA!! 🇬🇪 One vote from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Your English is almost perfect. Have not expected it. Regarding the countries, Kazakstan is the one I like the most.

I'm Indian and i worked in Astana Kazakhstan which is amazing experienced lovely people's and beautiful place i love that..❤

Uzbekistan Kazahstan 🇺🇿🤝🇰🇿

I've visited Baku, Azerbaijan and the city centre may look like Paris but I think it's better! It's cleaner, less crowded, and the people are more relaxed and friendly. I'm going to Georgia later this year and this has helped me to frame the visit, get a sense of the country's history, and has given me ideas on what to check out.

You always produce great content Slava. I really enjoy watching them. My number one choice of a place to visit would be Kazakhstan. I just find it to be such an interesting country where literally, east meets west. Plus, I would love to witness a rocket launch at Baikinour,

Yaşasın türk dünyası Özbekistandan salamlar bolsun 🇰🇿🇺🇿🇹🇲🇹🇷🇰🇬🇦🇿

I vote for our beloved neighbour Georgia 🇦🇿❤🇬🇪

I’m from Estonia 🇪🇪 and I’d prefer Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and Georgia 🇬🇪. These countries have bright future in my opinion

I guess each country has its own strength and weakness but potentially Kazakhstan is with the brightest future because it is huge and with a lot of resources. The problem with Kazakhstan is that its economy and internal politics are driven by corruptive interests. If they fight corruption successfully, they can build very attractive country. If not, they will lose.

This is all true about Azerbaijan as an Azerbaijani.Thank you for this amazing podcast and I would prefer Georgia more🇦🇿🇬🇪

I would like to visit the Silk Road cities of Bukhara, Khiva, Samarkhand and Tashkent. I have read so much about those cities. They were parts of various empires. I am particularly interested in seeing the Gur i Amir where Tamerlane and his grandson Ulugh Beg ars buried.

Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan❤❤❤

I am from Norway but have visited all of these countries. I would say the most safe, secure and rich ones are Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Least favorite is Georgia and Tajikistan.

🇹🇷🇺🇿🇹🇲🇰🇬🇦🇿🇰🇿Türk kardeşlerime Özbekistandan selamlar.

All these countries are great, they potential to grow is huge. It depends only on how these countries will use their institutional, cultural and human resources for the development of civil society, democracy, progressive knowledge and technology. From my point of view, Kazakhstan has achieved much more in terms of economic and civic fundamentals to become a well-developed country. The Kazakh people, I used to work with, had very good western style education, work skills and progressive mindset. Almaty is the best city in the region and has all you need what many western mega cities offer, like good restaurants, cafeterias, retail shops, wellness and gym clubs. The only complaint is the airport and public transports, taxies. The overall experience was excellent and we will definitely consider doing business in this beautiful country. With love from Singapore

Azerbaijan’s and Georgia’s GDP per capita almost same. Big applause to our neighbour Georgians for their effords to have this figures where they do not have any oil and gas. Both countries are great locations to visit.

Great summary! I didn’t expect a scientific approach to comparing counties! Agree with all points with regard to Kazakhstan’s issues. Thanks for the video and a non-biased opinion :)

Kazakhstan 😍🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿👍 beautiful

Hello from Sheki, Azerbaijan! I really enjoyed this your analysis and your suggestions about what to see in the other countries. Thank you!

Greetings from Kazakhstan, thank you for the video. Every aspect you mentioned was correct, which is impressive to hear from non-native. I personally would like to visit Georgia one day, those villages are marvellous

Yeah, Uzbekistan is not as modern as 🇦🇿, 🇰🇿 or 🇬🇪 , but without any doubt Registan is the most precious gem along the Great Silk Road, located in the very heart of the ancient city of Samarkand. Restored thanks to meticulous work of work of hundreds of restorers, this sight can claim - in my opinion - to be in the top ten list of the wonders of the world. Or Shah-i-zinda . Meaning of Shah-I-Zinda is Tomb of the Living King, and the structures with amazing colourful domes, intricate windows, finest glazed tilework, is a must see for any traveller visiting Samarkhand. Most sacred Tomb is that of Qusum ibn Abbas, a cousin of Prophet Mohammad, who brought Islam to Central Asia during 7th century. And I'm talking about just one city, about Samarkand. You are all welcome to Uzbekistan at any time, but for best experience, its advisable to visit in Spring! I feel really grateful for it's peace and quite, and for growing up here without knowing what War looks like. Come, visit, and see all the historical, nature, cousine beauty with your own eyes.

Ассалау мағалейкім Қазақстаннан🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿, рахмет Қазақстанды айтқан үшін👆🏻

As a native from Uzbekistan🇺🇿 I think religion Islam ☪️ has contributed the most on safety and low rate of homicide. Living here is cheap and for the last 5 years we have witnessed a great deal of development in terms of economic and social life. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 is also a good destination for travellers as well, and I would like to visit Astana in the near future😊

I love my Uzbekistan and InshaAllah it will has bright future And I respect all of these countries, because they are our neighbours and relations Salam from Uzbekistan for everybody

Loved this video and loved your previous videos in these countries. The Baltic states too my list to visit but after them I really want to visit Georgia! Thanks for all the work you do making great videos!

I'm American, and I loved Aktau when I was in Kazakhstan.

I think Uzbekistan is the best of them all 4 as it has lots to offer for the tourism industry!!! I would like to visit the silk route cities like Bukhara, Samarkand and Tashkent.... It has plenty of historical places.... Its near to India...Again a wonderful content Slava need tp see more of these comparisons which will help more.... Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank You for reviewing Kazakh (and South Kazakh) countries and sharing your opinion ! It shows a different side of these countries, never thought of vacation in warm country due to my preferences, but these views worth it. Gonna tour all 'Stans and Azi, Uzbekistan seems like an interesting place to start. Thanks again for Great content .!

Slava, as usual you've done a terrific job . This video was educational as well visually exciting . Thanks for sharing your work.

Nice comparison, good to see how perspectives change as we meet different cultures and learn about them. Mine has been changing thanks to Slava showing it through his optics

Azerbaycan Kazakistan ve Uzbekistan ve Turkmenistan ve de Turkiye kardwsiz Turkuz, biz boyuk Turan elinin torunlariyiz.💞💞💞💞💞

Отличное видео и честный обзор! Увлекаюсь фонетикой американского английского и вижу, что вы тоже американское произношение используете, причем очень хорошее) Именно поэтому не могу удержаться, чтобы не оставить небольшой фидбэк. Kazakhstan нужно произносить с твердыми первой и последней а, плюс шва посередине. Если ставить /æ/, это уже британское произношение, поэтому в глаза бросается в вашей речи. Это вообще общий принцип в американском произношении иностранных малознакомых слов. Они в основном пытаются твердую а ставить, потому что считают, что /æ/ нетипичный звук для других, что точно правда для европейских языков. Кстати, у нас в казахском /æ/ как раз-таки в целом есть, но не в этом слове :) Успехов!

I was so pleased to see that you posted a new video and enjoyed it a lot. So much firsthand information about countries I don‘t know and don‘t hear about often in my environment. Thank you very much Slava.

Very nice summary of your travels and of these beautiful countries!

Greetings from Kazakhstan! All Central Asian and Caucasian countries are worth visiting. These countries are not about hotels, beaches and luxuripus lifestyle (although they have) but about local cuisine, unique music and culture, theatres and arts, nature and tracking. Almost all of them have good interconnectivity and visa free for EU, North America and East Asian countries. I travel almost weekly between Astana-Almaty-Tashkent-Baku-Bishkek-Dushanbe, having morning Azeri Chai with baklava, noon Uzbek Palau and evening Beshbarmak in Bishkek or Almaty.

Love the video and the comparison. I wish you added Armenia to it, though, as it's a beautiful country in the caucasus region, and it deserves to be there in the comparison list. I visited all these countries multiple times ( the only exception is Azerbaijan, I visited it just once). They're all beautiful and hidden beautiful gems, and they are truly worth visiting. Personally, it's so hard to say which one I prefer, but I found the architecture in some Uzbek cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva incredible and breathtaking. The food there in Uzbekistan is also great and the people (especially in smaller cities) are incredibly kind and hospitable. Kazakhstan is relatively modern and developed, and living standards there are quite good compared to its Central Asian neighbours. In fact, I felt that I'm somewhere in Eastern Europe when I visited Kazakhstan. People are also nice and friendly and the food is good but not as good as in Uzbekistan. Nature is great there, but the history and architecture aren't as superior as in Uzbekistan. Georgia is lovely! The food, the people, the cosy streets of Tbilisi and of course, the nearby mountains and nature make the country a perfect holiday destination. There's some political unrest there though because of its political position between the West and Russia. I guess a good solution for a country in this situation would be neutrality and establishing balanced relations with Russia and the West. Azerbaijan is beautiful and it's capital Baku is very modern, clean, and organized but I probably need to visit it again before I have a comprehensive opinion about it. It's very hard to say which one of them I prefer but if I want to compare them in terms of historical beauty then Uzbekistan would be on top, in terms of nature, Georgia would be on top, in terms of food, Georgia would also top the list, and in terms of peace of mind, safety, and easy living, maybe Kazakhstan would be number one. In summary, they're all beautiful but not only these 4 countries are beautiful but also the rest of the former USSR countries. Luckily, I visited 14 of them and loved them all! Thanks for the nice video, Slava!

Thanks for sharing!

so glad to see a new video of yours! Very informative too, but I like everything you post, whether travel videos or informational ones

Cheers to free, democratic, independent states in Caucasus and Central Asia. We are more than just post Soviet Union countries. All of these countries have centuries of history and unique culture. As a young Georgian, I can say that our choice is clear and loud. We choose freedom, equality and democracy. Never back to USSR and never with Russia. Thanks for your good work.

Missed your videos and opinions....I know times are hard and making good content is even harder so thank you

Thank you for this video. Beautiful.

As Azerbaijani I think all of these countries have huge potential to develop if government prefer democracy over monopoly. Especially Azerbaijan

I have seen a lot of your videos, and you really have a good understanding of the world, thanks for sharing this much knowledge👍

Extremely good video, Thanks! The future is uncertain they say but I would love to go to Georgia!

Excellent video, Slava! Keep them coming! Your videos on Georgia and Uzbekistan were very helpful to plan my vacation trips to both countries. Thank you and greetings from NYC.

I paid attention to the comments. Azerbaijan is the least known of these countries. But the most beautiful among these 4 countries is Azerbaijan. Since it is an oil country, they do not care about tourism. This country has excellent tourism potential. Nature, people, food...

Thanks a lot, it was very interesting to watch my country on a comparative scale. Thanks for your honesty and objective analysis. With love from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿🫶🏻

I'm from Uzbekistan Our country is very beautiful with it's old buildings

Personally, I respect all countries you mentioned. As an Uzbek descent, I love much more my country than others. In terms of the future of the countries, they can be the best countries, but also they have a good standard of living right now. Assalomu alaykum for everyone from Uzbekistan.

Kazakhstan has brightest future for sure. Family institution is strong, growing population, plus China as a strategic partner.

Man we missed you! Was gossiping about you this past weekend you know, want to visit some of the cities you mention in your videos! Great to see you again! Now I'm going to watch the video! 😉

Slava, great content. Very thoughtful presentation. Some of the counties I had some knowledge about, but for a couple I was completely clueless. If I had to pick one to live in, I think it would be Georgia but I would make sure I had a ticket out if things got weird.

Wonderful effort, appreciated

Very informative, thanks for the video 👍

Great topic and and interesting video. Thanks!

Great analysis and visuals! Azerbaijan has better geopolitical location. Must be the winner in my opinion. Always wanted to visit Uzbekistan and Georgia, but after this video I want to visit Azerbaijan as well!

I think this is a nice way of doing videos, lots of information, pros and cons and makes me wanna visit all. You are doing a favor for everyone. Interesting to see how different situation and development is for these post-soviet countries. Thank you!

Totally agreed what you shared your opinions and profound experienced with us. Thanks for sharing this once again. It’s very helpful for anybody to traveling in those Ex-USSR States nowadays. Such great vdo indeed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Алга Казахстан!

I think Kazakhstan is greater than others. But Uzbekistan also seems interesting for travel. I hope all of them will be managed democratically one day.

Great video. Thanks.

I find the videos you make absolutely fascinating. Not sure which channel I like better, this one or your cool vision channel. In any event, This was interesting. Thanks for sharing & keep it up. Take care! 👍 Sean

Brilliant content , I had travelled to first 3 countries and couldn't travel to Georgia due to covid related restrictions . People are quite friendly but yes corruption is bit of problem to get things done .

Excellent vlog!

Fantastic overview of these countries, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

i love these kind of videos! thanks a lot :D

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Uzbekistan is just opening to the world, traveling through ancient Silk Road Cities will be your life time experience, especially roaming through streets of Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva will take you back to the 18th century and so much of positive energy!!! Also I must mention the Uzbek Cuisine is one of the tastiest in the world! Only the food will make come back to visit those places again and again! ❤❤❤

Helpful informative video 👍🏻

Very informative and useful. Great presentation and statistical details. Keep it up.

I am Georgian, I respect all of them, all this countries are good with very interesting culture, greetings from Georgia 🇬🇪 ✊✊

in England people say that Kazakhstan is a European country and is closer to European cultures and religions and mentality and cities that are similar to Eastern Europe, so as an Englishwoman I say Kazakhstan is a developed cultural economic and closer to the Western world and countries such as Georgia Moldova Ukraine Estonia Latvia Lithuania🇬🇧🤗🇰🇿

Hi Slava, sorry I must have not noticed this very interesting and informative video you already made a couple of months ago. The video was as professional as all of your videos, keep up the good work and spirit!

Fascinating! We know so little about that part of the world, it's good to hear from someone we know and trust. Thanks.

Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan my favorites

Dear friend i think you are doing awesome job thanks

So so informative! Thanks for making this. Спасибо большое за видео!))

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

Visited all of these countries. Georgia is the first, then Uzbekistan, Azarbaijan and Kazakhstan. But it's my personal experience. All these countires were great. I wish them luck!

Excellent video!

I enjoyed your video report ❤ thank you.

Very nice video about those former Soviet republics!

Nice video. I can't choose which country will do the best for its future. Strong economic and strategic alliances between them would make them stronger and reinforce the central asia area with other countries of this area. These are very interesting countries to visit and great people to meet. More videos of the former countries of the USSR would be a great idea. Thanks for this very good job!

Incredible good video! I learned a lot, you should definately do more of these, would love to see one on Kyrgyzstan and Armenia!

Very interesting indeed. Thank you. Regards from Namibia.

From 🇵🇭, I actually visited all 4 countries already and each of these countries r amazing. Georgia in 2015 and 2017 Azerbaijan in 2018 Uzbekistan in 2019 Kazakhstan 2019 and 2020
