Love Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan ❤from Uzbekistan

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

Love Georgia from Kazakhstan

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

Kazakhstan has brightest future

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

Uzbekistan Kazahstan 🇺🇿🤝🇰🇿

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

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.

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

Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan❤❤❤

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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...

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

Kazakhstan 😍🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿👍 beautiful

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,

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.

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

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

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🇬🇧🤗🇰🇿

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.

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

I hope all post-soviet countries will have a bright future From Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

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

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

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

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!

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 :)

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

Lived in Kazakhstan for three months, now live in Georgia for seven months. I enjoy both countries, leaving the Soviet state and denying imperialism was a great step forward for them. I hope Georgia restores control over its territory and Kazakhstan retains its sovereignty (that may be a challenging when you're located between Russia and China).

I moved to Georgia 10 years ago from the US and would never consider moving back, or anywhere else for that matter. The details here on Georgia are accurate other than about the political situation. There are no pro-Russian parties in government or people, that's an unfair criticism from pro-Western camps about people who want to pursue a balanced political and economic strategy. The fact that 20% of the country is occupied by Russia and was attacked multiple times in 30 years proves that nobody can be pro Russian in any sense here. Totally true about safety and the almost complete lack of corruption. That being said, I agree that Kazakhstan has huge economic potential but Georgia is at the crosswords of the world, with Asia to the east and Europe to the west. Simple geography and global sea access gives huge potential especially with an incomparably rich, proud, and self-aware culture and society.

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

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

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.

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

These countries so beautiful imaginable also Especially cheaper. Georgia looks like Europe and most interesting there isn't Russian propagandists, this is big result. I'm from Uzbekistan 😊

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.

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

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

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.

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 .!

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

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!

Very informative, thanks for the video 👍

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

Thanks for sharing!

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

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

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

From my experience Kazakhs have been the most hospitable. it’s truly a great people

Georgia 🇬🇪 the best have best future going for them .

Thank you for this video. Beautiful.

My great wish is seeing to see all turkish countries be strongest countries in the world. And Georgia ,our peaceful neighbour I hope in the near future you will be able to solve all of your problems.🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿❤❤❤

Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan my favorites

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! 😉

Great topic and and interesting video. Thanks!

Kazakhstan is the winner. Im from Uzb

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

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

We have to admit that Azerbaijan is true winner in all ways. If we Georgians had such president as Mr. Aliyev iso non-binary Zourabischwili we would have been to proud of. Congrats to Azerbaijani people respect from Georgia 👍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️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! ❤❤❤

Georgia! is a beautiful gate way between the East and the West.

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

I am not sure, why you did not mention that 20% of Azerbaijan was also occupied for 30 years, and still some part s not under control of Azerbaijan. But you mentioned it about Georgia. Maybe a bit biased?

Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 has got bright future...

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

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!!!

Ranking by me in 2023 1.Estonia 2.Lithuania 3.Latvia 4.Kazakhstan 5.Georgia 6.Azerbaijan 7.Russia 8.Armenia 9.Uzbekistan 10.Belarus 11.Kgyrzgstan 12.Tajikistan 13.Moldova 14.Ukraine 15.Turkmenistan

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

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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great video. Thanks.

Personally, on this list, my preference goes to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Spent ten days in each as my first travel outside of European geographical continent and I wasn't disappointed! Georgia for visiting, been there short time (24 hrs) between two flights already, but it seems too much pro-West to me, if you say 75% are pro-EU...unfortunate because I really like Georgian food and drinks. I may be born in Western Europe, but I feel better out of there. Currently living outside of the EU/West and I keep Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in mind as interesting alternatives, not just for visiting.

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 am Uzbek and we are trying to build a bright future 🇺🇿

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

I am from 🇺🇿 and want to thank you for such a detailed overview. I am an economist and I can't agree more with what you told in the video. One little add could be the pace of the current reforms in 🇺🇿. It seems to us that the reforms have been slowed down compering to the initial reforms of the second administration in 2016-2018. Also, they seem to be more cosmetic rather than substantial changes.

This is very interesting indeed! Thanks

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 .

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!

Corruption is not a cause, but a consequence that hinders development in Kazakhstan. The cause is а monopoly of power...

Kazakstan 💪🏼🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿💪🏼
