Yeah I saw his videos a long time ago. Way before I ever thought I'd end up in a similar situation and roaming around former republics. I can understand his fascination with the Soviet Union though. It's an odd period in time with many incredibly impressive ideas. We often only heard of the negatives and the communist side of things, rarely the architecture and the attempts to triumph in various fields.

To roam through the old buildings and discover elements of the history are insanely addictive. Even moments ago I was looking on the map for abandoned factories in Tbilisi to explore. There's even secret Soviet nuclear bunkers in the city. I know the location of one so far.
