Lee Harvey Oswald’s apartment in Old Soviet Union #lenin, #Paris, #lee, #jfk, #dallas

what's up everyone today i'm leaving my apartment it's probably well early afternoon but i thought i'd show you a little bit of minsk um we'll go down one of the nicest streets and then i think one of the nicest streets is called carlova marsca which in english is karl marx street so uh it's a really nice street there's some there's some nice restaurants some cafes nice apartments so we'll check that out and then uh what we'll do is uh lee harvey oswalt if you guys have heard of them or heard of him i'm sorry so he's uh you know he's the one that was uh killed jfk in dallas supposedly so uh he he actually lived lived in uh within minsk from 1959 to 1962 so go check it check that apartment out all right so enjoy okay we just arrived on our carlova it's a carlova like i said before that's karl marx so here we go kind of quiet part of the street [Music] okay coming up this is a coffee shop that i like going to paragraph cafe they can make they can make my four espressos over ice not a problem place called cafe michael as you can see fellow russians love sitting outside in the summer when it's warm and then we got milano cafe right here very nice and then uh we'll go across the street one thing is to know one thing to know about bella russians is they do not jaywalk if i get a if i get a chance to to film an intersection or where it's red they will not even if there's no cars which is great way different than boston that means jaywalkers everywhere so uh coming up we got cafe de paris they have an outside uh terrace as well um [Music] this is one of the more popular places to go uh probably the most expensive though so the average belarusian really is not going to come here it's really more international or kind of bella russian elite but it's not too expensive but for belarusians it is if i can let you guys see inside the bar [Music] they're actually nice about it they let me let me go in with the camera very nice place okay next we have a view of all the apartments here on carlova martska these are really nice most of these are owned and they rent them out i think they most of them go for like 150 000 you know it's kind of like a prime spot you also have some apartments up there as well then you have some more over here in the intersection just above these two restaurants above with the nice balconies got a beauty salon looks like we got an optometrist there we have a park going down the middle of this street here yeah if i was gonna if i was gonna live live here i'd live in those apartments right up there prime spot so so it actually looks like minsk has a circus so here's where you can buy the tickets circus tickets and i believe this is the arena makes a lot of sense there you go it's a nice it's a nice building this is like a permanent permanent circus tent very nice got the you know what you call them like a ballerina on top of a horse looks like they're replacing the steps we're actually on our way lee harvey oswald's old apartment this is the route this is where this is what google map is where they're taking me so right along the major major uh artery through the city i think we're about maybe six minute walk away not bad not bad at all okay we're here but before i show it to you um just give you a little rundown on on on how it happened how he how he actually got to minsk so he actually uh he was a marine i believe his marine spent his time and then he actually believed in communism so he actually defected to the soviet union he was in moscow and uh he actually was talking to the government and they were a little skeptical at first because you know he was a an ex-marine so they thought maybe he was a spy but after after a while i don't know how long maybe a couple days they figured out this guy's harmless so but yes we'll we'll we'll put them up we're gonna we're gonna send them to minsk we're gonna put them in a nice apartment and but they did surveil them they've had surveillance on them the whole time so he was here from like 1959 uh to 1962. he actually uh uh married while i was here to a girl named marina i believe they had a child um you know initially he liked it here it was it was it was nice but eventually he got bored because there was there was no nightclubs or there's no bowling alley so bowling alleys were used back in the 50s and early 60s uh according to my parents so anyways and then he got bored and then he then he left with his wife marina and his child i think uh i think he moved to dallas so there you go okay here's the building there's the building and uh i'm gonna give you the the english version basically this is for communist street in in mansk belarus so this is this is where i lived for a total of three years i actually don't know exactly which which unit he was in but i think it i think it was more down here but as you can see he lived in a nice area there's a nice park i don't know what that is looks like a an old house but you know there's a river nice buildings i mean they he looked really good really good for uh soviet union times um if you go down here looks like there's a restaurant i'm sure it wasn't here when he was here but we'll take it we'll take a look at it not a bad building you can imagine you know the quality for 1960 1959 i mean he was living good your destination is on the right got a restaurant called charlie yeah all right everybody have some uh looks like there's some balconies up there nice architecture i don't know why you i don't know why you moved uh harvey you got it good so here's the surrounding areas
