      There is a lot of silly drama with Bald and Bankrupt. He is very popular and would probably help Dave's channel a lot. But, I don't think Dave needs to add other people's drama to his channel. I think Dave should be unique and create his own path. Just my own opinion. @@wrath231

    8:00 Well, they did demolish the abandoned houses in Алыкель (Alykel) near Norilsk when Vaga Bond went there last year, so I'm guessing they would think of doing the same in Vorkuta if the climate improves and there's a potential re-population taking place there.

    16:00 sad that you didn't film how that building looks inside. It isn't complitely abandoned. Out of 341 apartments, 30 are still occupied.
    Locals call it the Kitaiskaya Stena (Chinese Wall) and it is the scariest apartment building in Vorkuta. People are living in terrible conditions there.

It also helps that I have a friend who I look forward to meeting once everything is kosher again. It takes a heart to understand and ❤ Russia in this way.

    As bad as it seems, life must be worse in Norilsk. At least Vorkuta has fresh air and quietness. Norilsk has factories spewing out tonnes of noxious gases into the surrounds. I wouldn't live in Norilsk if you paid me big money. Vorkuta is depressing when the sun doesn't rise, and when it drops to -30 or lower... but I wouldn't mind it for a week in the summer, providing it was free of petty crime, of course.
