    Hey Sergey. Thanks much for your videos. I am an America who lived in Petersburg 2002-2007, where I taught English and studied Russian history and language. I lived on Nevsky near Ploshad Bosstania about 1 1/2 years, and then on Ulitsa Basseynaya across from Park Pobedie about 3 1/2 years. Actually, I am homesick for Petersburg. I appreciate your love and enthusiasm for your city, your knowledge and sense of humor. Best wishes.

    During the Cold War, I never could have imagined seeing these places. When I visit a place, I like to think I have seen all aspects of it. Your content is unique and interesting. Keep up the good work, and disregard the "Social media Experts" who leave bad comments.

    The most interesting thing in St. Petersburg courtyards is that walking along them, with the same probability, you can accidentally wander into a claustrophobic little well, or into a real palace. For example, Fontanka 85 or Tolstoy House.
    Thank you for the video. I really look forward to the plot about the Petrograd district and its architecture and places. It seems to me that this is a very underrated area by guests of the city.

    I'm curious, what happens when it snows very heavily? IF that part of the country does snow heavily that is. I would think snow building up inside those courtyards would eat away at the integrity of the structures.

    Hi Sergey. First of all, I enjoyed this video as always. Second, you are not a douche bag, however, whoever said that might be one? Also, I have a musician friend who lives there. He said he grew up in the Vyborgsky district but now lives in the Ligovo district. He mentioned that the Petrogradsky district is pretty cool too. Might be cool to see some videos on these areas?

    • @realrussiablog

  • @georgesboutz7534
    @georgesboutz7534 4 роки тому

    Zdrastvy Sergey, you didn't mention the elevator shafts hat are being installed at some the old buildings. As there is no room inside the buildings themselves, they just attach them to the outside in the courtyards, it may look strange to some people but it sure is a welcome addition for some of the older people who may have difficulty walking up and down 4-6 flights of stairs.

I also notice these are red brick so called 'tartarian' type buildings. So old and most are holding together quite well with little maintenance over the 100+ years ! Thanks again from Canada ✌️🇨🇦❤️

    So you've never been to Kiev or Lviv. They have the same. It is not so unusual. I even saw it in eastern Poland. I've seen as a tourist the courtyards of St. Petersburg and I was not so impressed. Many have huge heaps of rubble like the building had been bombed. That was along Nevsky Prospekt.

    There is a lot of potential for redevelopment of the yard wells, but the front and exterior facades probably will always take precedent when it comes to renovation of large buildings. Same thing here, it comes down to the money. Still, St. Petersburg is magnificent!

    "Restored" is the word, not "restorated." I do that because I like you and you are on the road to being a bigshot. The courtyards are all clean and free of clutter. I know car parking is a priority, but I would like to see additional outdoor living space on a few. Like Spanish courtyards and patios.

Real Russia means you show everything, but who really wants to look at depressing images all day? What those people do not understand is that there are many places just like that in the US. No country is perfect, including Russia, but Russia and everyday Russians are still wonderful! Those people also do not understand what it takes to shoot these videos.
