It doesn't surprise me considering that Slavic languages are not that divergent from one another..unlike say Semitic languages. Cool video.

I understand it 90% both when it is with explanations like this. Interesting video.

I find Czech and Polish the hardest Slavic languages to understand

For some reason Polish language reminds me of Slovenian but I heard they are not that much similar.

I can't grasp most of the conversation, just some separate words and phrases. Polish and Bulgarian are one of the most distant Slavic languages.

Half/half. If written I can understand almost everything, but if a Russian speaks to me, especially fast, not so much.
Serbo Croatian based on ijekavian? I think, is also quite hard

And here is Bosnian and Polish. Naturally, these language would be slightly closer then what Bulgarian is to Polish.
I surprised myself to understand the Polish about 65% with the explanations. It's mostly the accents that throw me off
