    As a Russian-German who lives in Germany and has been to Russia (Moscow and Chelyabinsk) multiple times I can confirm everything this man says. And I can tell any foreigner who doesn’t know anything about Russia: this is exactly the most average apartment you can get. Russians don’t live poorly at all, even though many of the commentators say „bro, the average salary in Russia is only 800$ hurr-durr!!“ it does not matter. This country has infinite land, food, wood, gas, oil, water etc., which means everything is sooo cheap. They dont rely on anyone, they are doing just fine!

      You might need to reevaluate your use of INFINITE b/c you’d be incorrect. And yes, it beats being homeless in the horrible weather but the apartment is very Soviet looking and almost all of them as they were constructed during Soviet era are rarely updated which must mean there’s not a whole lot of $ left to do that. I did see a beautiful higher end new construction Russian apartments the other day but they were far from affordable. To have what would be considered a nicer 1 br apartment in many parts of the world, they’d have to pay well over a million US $. So that probably precludes the average Russian.

      It's a kind of a newer building with bigger flats though. There's lots of older tiny places here as well. I've personally lived in many but honestly they're all really nice, loved them really. Talking of chandelliers, flats in Russia are let by their owners. And the better conditions are the higher the price. They're most often fully furnished as well. Quite often people let a flat they used to live in, for example, when they move to another place. So the design is often quite individual and sometimes might be, well, a bit specific:):) So I suppose this place is either a previously lived-in home or the owners just put some effort to make it look better to put up a price a bit

But that would be with no utilities included. Utilities heat, light and water would average on a monthly equal payment plan around 250/350$ Canadian dollars , not including phone, internet and able or satellite tv, which would cost around 300/350$ Canadian dollars monthly.

    One thing which really jumped out at me is the pavements (sidewalks) are clear of snow. When I lived in Germany in the 1970s and 1980s it was the same. Everyone pitched in and cleared the pavements. You were expected to clear the pavement outside your house or shop. For blocks of flats, there were rotas and we took turns. Also, back then in Germany, the toilet was always separate from the bathroom. Our washing machines used to be in the basement.

    I live in São Paulo, Brazil and after a quick search I was able to find a few options with slightly similar characteristics. But, in neighborhoods that are good, calm, but far from the most popular ones. You can get a flat near tge metro also, perhaps a bit more expensive, or plenty of offers at a bus + metro distance. Prices increase steeply if searching for a popular or better located area. São Paulo is a big city with its challenges, but it is a great city, I like living here. Great video, TY

    When you factor in the utilities and free health and dental care, that's cheaper than where I live in a very small New England, US city.
    I love the separate wc and wash room, it's such a cleaner and more pleasant layout. It's probably more expensive to have installed though, unless the rooms are next to each other so the plumbing is in the common wall.
    I also love the "no outdoor shoes inside" habit as well as removing work clothing and swapping to "indoor outfits", such a nice way to live

    I used to live in Athens Greece, living in a block similar to this but old, in a very dangerous neighborhood, and the apartments were 1/4 the size of this one. Old, dusty, tattered small places, housing families of 3-6 people. Try living like that with an €850 salary, where 70% of it goes to rent and bills.
    That is how 85% of Athens is.
    This apartment looks like a dream to me.

    Russian prices are very reasonable.. and actually i really like the community values they have there in that apartment block.. rent very reasonable... and clean, with less fear of crime.. i would like to live there.. hmm 🤩🤩

    You can tell you are from a younger generation. I am from Canada, which we don’t have separate toilet to shower area but we often have a second toilet or powder room in our apartment. When I visited my aunt who lived in England, as a child, they always had the loo separate from the tub and sink. The toilet tank was high up and you pulled a chain. Rooms and houses were smaller than I was a custom to but I really loved that there was a toilet separate from where you have a bath. Thanks for the tour.🇨🇦

    That's an awesome price! I pay 1,300.00 a month for a small house, but in size I think the Russian apartment is bigger. We used to only pay 600.00 a month because the owner thought that was all it's worth. Then he sold it with 2 apartment buildings and the rent keeps going up every 2 years. But have to say I have an awesome Landlord he owns 114 units and the house I have, but everyone one else as to go through his company if they have any issues or problems. He has us go right him and not the company. And he responds to issues asap. Once he was at the house until 3am fixing a frozen pipe. I couldn't ask for a better Landlord I guess it's some what's worth 1300.00.

    Thank you for an enjoyably engaging video tour❣️❣️ This is very similar but larger than my former appt for 7y with 4 appts per floor too in Toronto, Canada. They were built in the 40s for returning soldiers from Europe. I was about a 5min bus ride or 15-20min walk to the subway (our Metro) but usually cycled anywhere, with the downtown core about 40min cycle away. They were 1 or 2 bedroom and with shared clothes-washing facilities, standard in other buildings throughout the city.I love the layout and design and live there in a heartbeat. We never wore shoes in a house by tradition and I am 62y. At the time it was CDN$700 or adjusted for inflation, it would be ~US$805. Currently, though because of a housing crisis in many Canadian cities and price-gouging, the appt would be US$1700 and a 2-bedroom would be US$2500. That only includes water too.

    I've seen other Russian apartment tour videos and a common thing I've noticed is that the washing machine is always in the bathroom. In Bulgaria, people put their washers either in the kitchen or in the laundry rooms if they have any. The first three things you do when you go home in Bulgaria are taking your shoes off before you enter, washing up your hands and changing the clothes you've been wearing outside with the ones you wear at home. I've been living in the UK for nearly 9 years now and I've noticed that the standards of cleanliness there, compared to Bulgaria and I guess most of East Europe are very different.

    I'd just like to clarify something; the country's real estate market has evolved and now has 4 classes of real estate: budget, usually panel houses, including modern ones built by the likes of Pik. Comfort-class, brick houses built on reinforced concrete frames, better sound insulation, underground parking etc. Business class, same as the prior but with a concierge, taller ceilings etc. And then you've got the elite segment, but that's reserved for fancy buildings in city centers.
