In the US *_the rent_* would be approximately $3,480, or three times the min monthly wage, which is $1160 (assuming full time, 4 weeks of 40 hours, $7.25/hour). Why should we consider rent three times higher than the min wage? Because in Russia the minimum wage was about 15,ooo roubles, and the monthly rent was 45,ooo, so three times higher.

You have water, some places gas, eventually that will phrase out, and electric. Apartments over here depending where we live in what state. In San Francisco one will pay almost 2500 for a studio or more. Same in NYC. Other places in the country are cheaper. Cities are more expensive to live where the jobs are.

      Yes, I expected something a lot more basic. The kitchen was nice and we have a Samsung FF very similar to that model, but I'd miss a tumble dryer. The bathroom would have made a great second bedroom and a bath- or shower-room could have been slotted in somewhere else (bedroom balcony?). The layout, the lack of a proper shower and no tumble dryer would probably put me off, as well as it being a high-rise. The bathroom acoustics might be great for a singer ... not so much for their neighbours :). I just find it astonishing that, given the amount of land in Russia, they feel the need to build high-rise blocks at all - seems like a throw-back to Communist times.

      I have to admit to you that you are just a unique person, I think you know how it is fashionable to say nasty things about RF now, sometimes, very rarely, there are such instances who embellish the situation in Russia too much, but you say it as it is without distortions, I confirm what I see in your videos, your position of neutrality is respected by your subscribers.

    Reminds me of the 1990s, but the construction of the building reminds me of government housing in California for the indigent and poor. Big block bohemoths made out of cement. Also reminds me of police holding facilities, seems like the same kind of construction. Personally I'm not into minimalist architecture it's too cold and foreboding. But I'm also not big on apartments I like freestanding homes with lots of property surrounding me so I can keep to myself blare my music and shoot guns off or archery privately without being interfered with.

      but in Russia only 0,8% of citizens has salary higher than 700$. Even in Moscow, most people has salaries around $700 or less. And only some small % has higher. So this 1 bedroom apartment is not affordable for most Russians.
      Working couple can afford it. But single person not. That's sad part of story.

      In Russia, you REALLY need to take your shoes off. Also, putting legs in shoes on the seat in front of you in the trains is not a common thing compared to Germany, for example. The reason for that is that after the WWII and especially in the 60-70's Soviet cities were designed in such a bad way (and probably intentionally) that spaces with open soil were left everywhere and mostly not isolated at all. Instead of e.g. lawns, small rocks or smth like that what could keep the dirt away, like in all cities in the developed nations, in Russia every rain- and snowfall causes "shitlavines" of dirt and sand, thus making shoes and cars very dirty. Same for the sidewalks too. And our water drench system is crappy as well, either it's non-existent or it works only partially. That was not a thing in Russian Empire though, because the cities were elaborated in a European way, and not in the communist one.

    $700 USD is inexpensive for a furnished apartment.

      1. Warm air stay in all other rooms in frosty weather when you enter the apartment.

      Ладно перенос радиатора.. это семечки (отрезал, заглушил - все счастливы, все довольны).
      Там демонтаж несущей стены (остатки оной очень хорошо видно между кухней и комнатой) и перенос мокрых зон. (чтоб сделать огромную ванную, владельцы заложили дверь на кухню, а зону ванной увеличили за счет коридора)
      И если расширение мокрых зон еще согласуемо (то-есть та еще головная боль, но утвердить в муниципалитете можно), то за несущую стену, владельцы могут влететь капитально. вплоть до отчуждения собственности по суду. В Москве прецеденты были.
      (добавлю маленькую справку.
      Несущая стена названа так потому, что на нее опираются верхние этажи. Дом строят с огромным запасом прочности, но если убрать несколько соседних несущих стен, дом может рухнуть.
      Поэтому снос несущей стены считается очень серьезным нарушением. И прежде чем переводить перепланировку с демонтажем даже части несущей стены нужно произвести инженерные исследования и расчеты и добавить специальные балки, распределяющие нагрузку на другие части дома.
      Есть еще межкомнатные не несущие стены. Они как правило тонкие и демонтировать их можно без особого согласования.)
