Is this fun with flags but with maps ? XD

Pure English humor..and such a finest theme.. oh man, I like it.

"dont watch it now! - watch it later" ... okay you got my full attention back xD sorry

Soviet invasion? Never existed in plans. Plan of Marshall-yes. And this propaganda still goes on. read Uk's newspapers!

These fellows appear hungry &/or sleep-deprived.

They are in fact not wrong right wrong not even close to not being right not wrong about the Gorbachev thing.

Russia really have some weird habits lately and map making isn't one of them

There are a lot of Russian names in your patreon list...

"Don't look at it now, look at it later!" Crickey, you made me jump.

Very few people knew very little about? So the rest of us knew all about them?

Just found this completely by accident. This is great. Would suggest you should be writing and appearing on broadcast tv but you are clearly wayyy too good for it in every manner.

What we take down depends upon the military needs...so...

At one time in history Ireland was the best mapped country in the world ,the British mapped every inch of Ireland to help with the occupation of Ireland

No-one guessing the maps at 5:19, ok New York Manhattan? Portsmouth & Isle of Wight Paris? London (tube) Prague?

Co on powiedział? 0:50

Понимать надо. Люди работают.

Thank you UZtop algorithm, you have blessed me with another godlike channel. Satan bless the bots

Google maps be like: I still have to learn much.

I like how you acknowledge the Russian achievements and contrbutions that mostly everyone else prefers to deny and ignore...i.e. periodic table and WW2 👍

6:14 what about when the CIA invaded in 1979? Whose maps were used then?? ...also this is absolutely brilliant, I can't believe I'm just finding this show now.

Winning World War 2. Sarcasm, please say that was sarcasm..

Maybe they did invade not physically but culturally. You can't deny how communism is an upwards trend since then.

The Siegfried-Maps of my native country Switzerland are still the best!

2:24 Guys, you should have put pencil in there. Missed opportunity.

_"...always within 10,000 miles from a Russian spy"_ - ...or anyone

I'm sure the Soviet military had more detailed maps than the USGS, thats like saying an F1 car has more horsepower than a Prius

Cold war map off is my preferred name for arctic navigation.

Jay Foreman: "Why does Russia have the best maps of Britain?" Russia: "xexexe"

I like your new haircut jay :)

This "Polish map" isn't from cold war era, rather it was made for polish pilots during WWII.

Russia didn't even come up with vodka

2:58 diskette.

So if someone would have asked me last week if i liked maps i would have said 'hell no!'. Yet i seem to have binged loads of videos on this channel over the last few days. The comedy mixed with facts and the ad skits are strangely intriguing. I may have become a map facts fan. Good Job with these videos! 😊

MAP MEN MAP MEN MAP MAP MAP MEN WHERE ARE THE OTHER MENSES??

I'm polish No joke

Poland allied during the Cold War? You mean soviet puppet?

6:06 but do not forget, that china, the ccp, is the bigger problem.

There is a great 1970s Russian map of Wellington NZ. It has every building in all the Quarters and the Parliamentary Precinct, all the companies that were in that building, and even little notes on what you could buy from shops at every location. Someone in the Soviet Embassy really really liked maps and spent a lot of time doing it, and updating it.

U are so very good at those adds :)

You know there's a mistake at the start, right? Two, if you consider that you did not mention Dostoievski.

This is by far one of the most interesting you tube video I have watched and that has changed my option on the entire soviet union 10/10.

As a Pole, I felt weird when you suggested that our air force could invade GB. We always liked you, guys! The Soviets wouldn't let us be nice to you :c

Are these Soy Boys gay lovers?

They don't

They do say the Russians have the best spies in the world. They even managed to get one into extremely high up in the Japanese forces during WW2 who told them they had no intention of invading through China. Freeing up a LOT of specially trained and equipped troops to stall and then drive back the German advance in the middle of the Russian winter

I never thought anyone could make maps fun, well done.

Is this what BeardyMan does in his off time from creating epic tunes? 😂👍

Its the MAP, it’s the MAP, It’s the MAP, it’s the MAP, ‘tis the phucking map KOmrad

Yo I’ve only just realised the ‘intro song’ is different every episode - pretty epic if u ask me

Кошмар!

i was singing along to the intro only to realise that there is no extra "men" in the end! am i hallucinating or did you remove it? if yes, pls get it back on!!! :(

I never trust English guys who say Russia won the war. Way too beta

sweet surname bro

Winning ww2 ? Debatable

English people really should use Polish spelling, it's far easier! (I'm Polish of course)

"Winning WW2" GTFO

Dendi ?

sheldon cooper(s) ... it's funny. But i will continue to hate england for what you done in your history. Don't worry guys one day we will come :))) See you later :)

They still put planes in our airspace.

should be asking "who gives a fuck?" lnstead

Look at Google map and on Yandex map...

U Fucking suck

4:05 Žilina , Slovakia ... 😃

Not sure if anyone has ever commented on it, but does anyone think that Jay sounds as if he were the identical voice twin of James Burke? I love it.... I've always really enjoyed James' documentaries. And I love your channel.

The way I was caught out by the “don’t watch it now, watch it later” spooked me😭

The Soviet maps warmly recommends the 123-metre spire of Salisbury.

It's bc they know who to be scared of

lol russia "won" ww2

OTOH, I did read a story about Western made maps of Moscow being the best ones. That because the Russian messed with their official maps to avoid giving away intelligence (www.nytimes.com/1988/09/03/world/soviet-aide-admits-maps-were-faked-for-50-years.html). IIRC, it ended being so bad that diplomats in Moscow needed to use the maps provided by their own intelligence agencies (mainly the CIA) to do their routine functions, and the maps being leaked to everyone (including Russians with the right connections!) who needed to travel through Moscow.

Why are people surprised that Russians can make good maps, if it was the US that made these maps of USSR nobody would bat an eye

The WWII comment could be debated

Very good.

Where can we see a Russian map of Area 51 ?

Great as always

Well, either I’m mistaken or I just heard Jay’s distinctive tones doing a voice continuity on top telly channel Dave??!!

I'm just glad someone else identified the true victors of the 2nd world war

Well Arnold Schwarzenegger let the cartographer go together with Jackie Chan from the jail in Tayna pechati drakona so im sure thats why..

Russian didnt made vodka

"Kolczyste" (Colchester) and "Sendłycz" (Sandwich) are my favourite on that map :) . "- Two kolczyste sandwiches pliizzz" would be like "Two spiky sandwiches please" ;) :D

So many subtitles in different languages and no russian...

Turn to Jesus Christ!

Хехе)

0:49 excuse me? i am a native polish speaker and have absolutely not an ounce of a clue what you were trying to say

0:50 What he meant to say: "Dobrze zrobione!" What he actually said: *"DOBRE ŻRONIE!"*

As a german I am amused by "Saufend-on-si" bc "saufend" means "getting drunk" in german XD

Transliterated. I gotta remember that one.

0:00 You didn't mention Tolstoy!!!!

"Polish allies" is a bit of a stretch.

Thanks again 👍Who’s the jazz pianist on the soundtrack in the end of the video?

6:25 is an oil field in California near Bakersfield.

Очень нехорошо: выпустили ролик, касающийся России, однако перевели его на все наречия, которые только возможно, кроме русского :(

New vid noice one lads. This reminds me of that bimig bang show when Sheldon reviews maps

Polish allies? Are you off your trolley? Since when does being occupied by the Russians mean you're on their side?

Polish Allies SHIT a brick poles if anything hated their soviet oppressors.
