Thanks for the history lesson, Sergey. What some people may consider depressing I personally consider the architecture and history of the buildings. Great drone coverage too!
EMS - this architectural heritage is well known. I’ve read references of all kinds in news articles or in commentaries across the States...and here it all is, The Soviet legacy. It really all existed. However, in college or else where you only got a picture showing one building at a time. This is a great video.
And what i love about it is all the green areas ! I remember when i was in my girlfriend old place The same kind of building. But in moscow! sergey we Will show up in your city in 3 weeks..Will u have time to meet up ??
What projects, specifically? Guarantee if you ask anyone in Harlem or the Bronx where would they prefer living, none of them would choose Russia over staying in NY.
Very interesting. I'd not heard of Kupchino so it was nice to see what you filmed for us. Everything looked neat and clean. The views from the drone were fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
I think this district is very beautiful with so much green space, it looks like a lovely place to live. Everything you would need is close by, what more can a person ask for? Lovely presentation, great drone shots, Sergey you are getting even better at making videos as time goes on. ( I know it takes a lot of time to edit them so I want to say to you 'good job' ! )
It is possible to make buildings like that more appealing on the outside too. There are some projects around the world to give mass produced buildings like this a more classicist look. Then you will have a well planned and green living environment with practical apartments AND a beautiful exterior. These houses is anyway better than what they are building in my city right now: rust houses (use Google Translate). Houses like this is purposely built to be ugly and the Soviet houses wasn't MEANT to be ugly anyway (yes, the whole house is covered with sheet metal that is meant to to rust and the house in the picture was built last year) : malmo.lokaltidningen.se/nyheter/2019-03-19/-Omtalat-rosthus-utn%C3%A4mnt-till-%C3%A5rets-fulaste-byggnad-%E2%80%93-men-%C3%A4r-MKBs-mest-popul%C3%A4ra-hus-att-flytta-till-4444978.html
In the US we would call it a bedroom community. Excellent work with the Mavic 2 Zoom Sergey! The aerial shots really compliment the story. You are a natural drone pilot, with nice smooth movements. 👍
This is a superbly artistic and informative view of the SPB region. The aerial footage is breathtaking. A great study in modern Civics and Sociology. Well done Sir!
I was born there. Lived in the building across Balkans Movie theater On Budapeshtkaya street which is now gone.. and there is a modern residential building in its place. I also saw a person drop from one of those round buildings to his death.
I LOVE THOSE buildings !!!! Its very interesting to me that they do look like what i would picture back as world war 2 was getting over . You are very talented with your drone also, !!! Thank you for the amazing videos youve been doing . They are very cool ! Thank you Sergey for showing us that nifty district !!!! Have a wonderful evening, or afternoon cause im in Florida USA but you get the picture !!! Sending love from me and my staffy, Chilly Pepper. Thats my wonderful furbaby. 🐾🐾🐾🐶🐶🐶🐶🤗🤗🤗🤗
That looks a lot like the neighborhood that I lived in when I was a student there. Since most pictures of Saint Petersburg are of downtown I was quite surprised when I first arrived, but I grew to like it.
Super intesting ! And please do follow up about the new developments too !! Spatziba! Sankt Petersburg population is soon 6 million. Growing with rate of about 1.25 percent!!
Great tour! For a post war housing fix, it looks like a pleasant place to live. Lots of trees, schools, etc..what every family could need. You are getting really good at the aerial footage, too. Think I wouldn't mind living there if I had to. See you for your next video. :)
@@realrussiablog Sergey, I am a little bit hurt by your response. I hold you in the highest regard. The effort you put forth to put these videos out, uses much time in a day. I offer my comments to encourage you, and hopefully one day Vika, to as many videos as possible. They are interesting, entertaining, and informative. Your videos are much different than that Bald and Bankrupt fellow. You can't do such videos because you are a responsible family man. I am convinced that you are getting a bigger and bigger following because the brightness of your spirit and purity of your heart shines brightly from all your videos. Stay Blessed. You already many of us love and respect you greatly....
It was not my intention to hurt you at all. I just found it's important to mention I do not use the scripting. The thing is it was a principal position from the very beginning of my vlog. I wouldn't leave TV channel where I worked before UA-cam to keep making TV stuff on UA-cam. Usually it was always obvious I speak live but here it may seem I use scripting because the scenes are changing while drone shots. The thing is narration was made live. I prefer to prepare very well and speak live instead of pre-written recorded narration. You will never sound natural in a studio. Thanks for good words and appreciation!
Sergey many thanks of the video of canteen n1 one yesterday I been and eats in canteen 01 on nevsky prospect. I reallly like the food and planning to comeback to sankt Petersburg soon. ;) Oscar Sweden
My goodness...when you give us your darling smile..it lights up the screen...This city is so interesting..another beautiful gift from you to the world...
I know in the West the image of Soviet-style apartment complexes is something brutalist and run-down. But, the reason the image exists is because these were filmed when former USSR was in a deep depression and nothing was maintained. When Soviet apartment complexes are well-maintained, they are very people-friendly. You see all the green spaces between buildings, you see all these kindergardens and small schools inside these large apartment complex parks - which, if you think about it, is very kid-friendly. Kids can go to school by themselves, in the safety of being inside a large city block - no big roads to cross, no questionable stores, clubs, bars, etc.
Thank you very much for this grate vidio, excelent fotografy and flies over the CUPCHUNA, good information about the living area, greatings from Mexico city.
Fascinating! really interesting... the drone footage really spectacular and capturing the architectural planning and layout really well. This aspect is missing from most western developments. To see it on such scale is really exasperating... also can see you really enjoyed making the video, and some excellent stats coming out there. Brilliant bravo! Charge up the drone and let’s have some more :-D
Sergei: your historical references as well as for architecture are always very good. extensive. This is number one reason I subscribe. No where else do I get aspects of Russian life at every corner. Ha! I do not want to guess your background. I find it amusing , “oh. By the way ...”
Sergey, your drone skills are admirable. You are a very good drone pilot! That is pro level! I am afraid I would end up destroying several drones before I even executed a decent landing much less anything else. Great job Sergey and very informative as usual. Thank you for all you do always!
Спасибо огромнейшее)) в первые в рекомендуемых видеороликов выпало что-то толковые, с удовольствием смотрю! Надеюсь когда-нибудь удастся приехать хоть на отпуск в Питер, было бы здорово если познакомишь с другими городами.
I love history. Thank you for sharing this. If it's not too much trouble or expense, I would love to see the part of St. Petersburg which Czar Peter the Great built.
You look so damn happy at 02:50. It is contagious. Don’t know if i will go to Kypchino but Russia is growing on me and i will definitly go somewhere in Russia but it is so big and good peoples arr everywhere so choosing is not easy but it will be done at some point. Thanks for the awesome footages.
there are two girls on the left side of the bench, it seems they saw that the author of the video was shooting himself and smiling, but he noticed and smiled back
My friend Mary watched this video and loved it. She doesn't do internet. But she has been to Russia. She was amazed at this video and how fabulous it was.
You are really working that new drone Sergey and doing a good job with it. Thanks for this. Sometimes Americans think that al Russians are sad and depressed but that's not what I'm seeing. I laughed when I saw the family walking with the stroller and the man on his phone wearing a Star Wars cap and a Jack Daniels tee shirt. They could have been walking down my own street in Florida. You show us a side of your country that most Americans have never seen and can't imagine.
I watched the video of your apartment in St Petersburg when you first moved in so I was wondering if your ever going to show us an update on the progress. I know its off topic but Ive been thinking about it for a while wondering how its progressing..
Sergei love your videos I feel I’m traveling from my armchair. The airial views make it so interesting. Sergei I like grey hair much better than dyed dark hair.
Nice to see that spring is finally taking hold and that they've kept as much forest as possible. Did everybody have a long weekend with Victory Day being on a Thursday or was everyone back to work or school on the 10th^
Most people had a long holidays from May 1st to May 5th and from May 9th to May 12. Schools were closed at those days. The number of holiday day offs in Russia is amazing.
There's trees everywhere between each and every block and the parks looking amazing with their patterns for the paths. If you get me. I am really enjoying all the views from the new drone. If all those blocks of apartments were built in a hurry after the war to house people desperate for homes. They built them very well. They are still there and are not ugly. Really nice with all those trees. & schools within walking distance and play areas, markets etc. Well thought out. Much better thought out then some of our ugly blocks of apartments in our nation. Built without any care of the neighbourhood but for the money. Not so in Russia. Better plans and better considerations. Bet there's a lot less cleaning and vacuuming to do in an apartment than in a house.
Nice job on the video Sergey! Kuchino looks like a well planned bedroom community. It looks really nice in your video partly because of the green space. I can see that some people may find the number of buildings a bit intimidating. Curious to see how rush hour works for the people living there.
That is a nice area and as I see the many apartment buildings I wondered how the fire department is planning on evacuating the buldings in case of a fire. I saw that on another friend's site and wondered the same thing, and she live in the Moscow area.
Nicely shot & edited video it must have taken a while to put all that together. All those facts crammed in too. One think I wonder, with everything owned by the state in Soviet days, how did they go about turning into private properties ?
![Latvia: a looming threat of Russian separatism [DOCUMENTARY]](/img/n.gif)
"There's nothing more constant than temporary" wise words
I was going to say that same thing, but figured that someone beat me to it, and I was correct.
@mike 201314 interesting
I'm just watching this video and this is a quote to save. I really like the Real Russian videos. Very down-to-earth, not looking for spectacle.
Thanks for the history lesson, Sergey. What some people may consider depressing I personally consider the architecture and history of the buildings. Great drone coverage too!

Not like love love love. That drone is unbelievable. Wow can't find words.
Love it.
Спасибо большое
There is nothing depressing about those old soviet buildings. They look much better than the projects up in Harlem or the Bronx.
Take a look at some of the cities in the United States these days. Makes St Petersburg look idyllic 😎
And what i love about it is all the green areas ! I remember when i was in my girlfriend old place The same kind of building. But in moscow! sergey we Will show up in your city in 3 weeks..Will u have time to meet up ??
What projects, specifically? Guarantee if you ask anyone in Harlem or the Bronx where would they prefer living, none of them would choose Russia over staying in NY.
They do look depressing in winter
I love how you compare them to the projects. Its like saying horse shit smells better than dog shit threfore theres nothing wrong with horse shit. :)
Another great video. St. Petersburg looks so amazing with the more videos you make.

I am really loving the drone footage. It brings your videos to a whole new level. Excellent work.
Oh my, those drone shoots were awesome. I love that you have one now. Great video Sergey.
Thanks, Lee!
Great video. Love the change of scenery.
Well done Sergey!. The drone footage is outstanding!
That looks a lot like the neighborhood that I lived in when I was a student there. Since most pictures of Saint Petersburg are of downtown I was quite surprised when I first arrived, but I grew to like it.
Eye opening and the funky music is good too..👍
Wonderful video - we are planning to come to St Petersburg this fall - if the Covid 19 situation allows!
Beautiful. Kupchino is the last stop in a metro line. So I thought it is small remote town . This video shows a different image.
Super intesting ! And please do follow up about the new developments too !! Spatziba! Sankt Petersburg population is soon 6 million. Growing with rate of about 1.25 percent!!
I used to climb those apple trees. Love the footage. More please.
Great tour! For a post war housing fix, it looks like a pleasant place to live. Lots of trees, schools, etc..what every family could need. You are getting really good at the aerial footage, too. Think I wouldn't mind living there if I had to. See you for your next video. :)
Very good video. Thanks for showing the world your country. I will visit someday soon.
Always welcome to Russia!
Loving your drone great videos. Thanks for the tour.
You're welcome!
Я лайк поставил сразу за музыку в начале. Остальное более-менее ожидаемо, смею надеяться )
Wow. This video is very nicely presented. The sound seems a bit better. The scripting is smoother.
I speak live. The only place I was reading the script was when I was telling how many different objects were built at Kupchino during the Soviet time.

Whatever one thinks of the Soviet architecture, it's hard to deny the beauty of those parks. Great video!

@@SQSNSQ it's a very familiar story! I am glad you it worked out well for you!
Yes, exactly! No streets crossings. That was an idea!
I love this video 💕 Thank you for all of the information and awesome drone shots Sergey
Hi Sergei, the reason for the requests for Kupchino are very likely as a result of Grigori Perelman, it's most famous resident.
Kupchino is cool!
I'm very glad you got the drone. Great video. You always do a wonderful job.
The mature trees àre nice.
I love the old soviet blocks and architecture, something so fascinating
That's because you don't live in that crap.
ElCid48 - who told you it's a crap? Do you know this buildings are way stronger than most of American houses? Or you just hate Russians?
@@ElCid48 Well my apartment in Finland is pretty close to these
Wow, nice info and videography. I prefer living in the woods! I've lived in several apartments but I'm a loud neighbor.
Very interesting. 🤗
Excellent aerial shots of this city. Thank you for all your hard work! Enjoyed the video.
Kupchino seems to have been built with the future in mind...Kapa; Kapa !
I love this architecture! Never liked cookie cutter living spaces. Lovely!
Great quality !!
Its looks very Come and green, many Space i like that
Fabulous video
Thank you!
You have made Kupchino proud! Nice flow to the video.
Great video, thanks. I have definitely added St Petersburg, Russia to my "must visit" list.
Great Video. Good information. But your new drone really brings your videos to a new level 👍 great stuff SB.
Somewhere in this neighborhood lives one of the greatest mathematicians alive, Grisha Perelman.
Thank you very much for this grate vidio, excelent fotografy and flies over the CUPCHUNA, good information about the living area, greatings from Mexico city.
Nice Vid.....really enjoyed it
I can't stop thinking about how you could go about covering the flat roofs with solar panels.
Another quality video Sergey! Thank you!
Love your video-logs
Thank you for your videos. I visited St. Petersburg long time ago, and it's still for me one of greatest moments and places.

Always welcome to Saint Petersburg!
I was just able to revisit St Petersburg last week (Was there in 1983 and 1988)... We were there only a day during a cruise. It was a great day!
Lovely neighborhood, love seeing the forests/trees as well. If you ever walk down the main street, it would be great to see what they have to offer.
Another great video of info and entertainment. !!!
Amazing drone footage!
Very interesting !

3:16 is that an outdoor skating rink? Lower left.
Great video. It kind of looks like an un-abandoned Pripyat.
It was built in a similar time as Pripyat (1970s) for a similar purpose, so it is not surprising they would have similarities.
Seems well planned! Better than many places in The US.
Sergei love your videos I feel I’m traveling from my armchair. The airial views make it so interesting. Sergei I like grey hair much better than dyed dark hair.

Don't think the population density is all that high with so much open space.
@@ItsTristan1st
Well it said in the video that Kupchino have around 370000 residents. That is quite high I think!!
That is a nice area and as I see the many apartment buildings I wondered how the fire department is planning on evacuating the buldings in case of a fire. I saw that on another friend's site and wondered the same thing, and she live in the Moscow area.
Great historical research. Beautiful city..
Nicely shot & edited video it must have taken a while to put all that together. All those facts crammed in too. One think I wonder, with everything owned by the state in Soviet days, how did they go about turning into private properties ?
maybe its the beautiful drone takes but it seems very nice place, with lots of green and many services nearby
Thank you for sharing. Soviet architecture is fascinating!
