The concept of poor is not the same in many cultures as it is in Western Europe and North America! People are not poor simply because they don't have a fancy house and fancy possessions. When people have a decent and functional house to live in, food, healthcare and education, necessities, family, friends, community, etc., they are not poor!

Ташкент это был самый богатый город Кокандского ханства, много золота и шелка, только за счет налогов транспортных шелкового пути. Если только почитать узбекские народные сказки это видно. Но пришла Россия и спасла людей от чрезмерного богатства. Второе видео подряд оказывается продвигается идея что страны ЦА обязан совку и рашке. Это не так взять только факт что Кыргызстан весь газ это узбекский газ, захваченный на границе Газпромом и перепродается по завышенной цене. Это заказной канал оказывается, пропаганда.

I visited Tashkent back in 1982. I went on an organised trip and flew from London to Moscow and visited Bukhara, Tashkent, Samarkand and Leningrad. It was my third trip to the Soviet Union. I traveled with my brother and I remember my Mother crying before we set off on our holiday thinking she’d never see us again. Lol. I was 21 years old. In Tashkent I remember women upon seeing us smiling to show off their gold capped teeth. It was the height of fashion for women in Tashkent to have gold capped teeth during that time. I have very fond memories of the Soviet Union. I recently subscribed to your great channel. Diolch Eli.

@wewenang5167 Ай бұрын

Stalin move around many ethnic group all over Russia...mostly because they do not want that particular ethnic group to rised up and rebel, not because they look like something else...that is why he relocated many Crimean tartars to Siberia because if the Tartar stay at Crimea that are near to Turkey they might rise up and rebel. Same with Circassia people who forcefully kick out from Circassia and many today like in Syria and Turkey. Only the Chechen stay and fought long enough until the Russian gave up lol.

Eli, that's terrific you have a Koren friend in Tashkent. You're such a friendly person. I'm wondering if you actually have a friend in all 195 countries of the world. As for Uzbekistan, I knew nothing of its history. It's interesting to learn these things. There's so much we are not taught in school. But you always point out the good things about people and that most people everywhere are friendly and want to be helpful.

Keep up the great work. Many of us from different lands of this planet, may dislike our politics, but we enjoy the people from every country. Especially the poor and humble. Great work eli.
