Houses in Russia have exactly 9 floors, because during the years of construction of such houses people were usually settled there for free (as citizens), and there was not a lot of money. This was due to fire safety requirements in those years, because the fire ladder could reach a maximum of the 9th floor, and then it was necessary to make fire hatches in the balconies of each apartment and service them. This required a lot of money, so they were limited to only 9 floors. Now the ladder can reach the 14th floor. Also, for 9-story buildings only one elevator is required, and for a 10-story building there are already two. Also, for five-story buildings an elevator is not necessarily required, but for more floors it is already needed.

The best video of Russell ... in history. The majority of apartment videos are fluff / hyperbole. As a serious buyer, I want facts -- not opinion ... meat and potatoes ... not cake with icing. If Russell produces more of these apartment videos, they would steer more traffic because food is food ... all the same ... regardless of the kitchen or plate it is shown on. Лучшее видео Рассела... в истории. Большинство квартирных видео - это пух/гипербола. Мне, как серьезному покупателю, нужны факты, а не мнения... мясо и картошка... Не торт с глазурью. Если бы Рассел производил больше таких квартирных видео, они бы направляли больше трафика, потому что еда есть еда... все таки... Независимо от того, на какой кухне или на какой плите он изображен.

The tunnels have always been there. It was the original plan for people to be able to live and work in the Moscow City without ever having to go outside. There are luxury apartments in some of the towers and people literally walk to the cafes or shops in their sleepers in winter.

A view of the city for $24 might not interest me so much. But unlimited ice cream and chocolate - most definitely! The view would then be like the icing on the (chocolate) cake. 😉

Thank you for the cool video, Russel! I always wait for your videos with anticipation and watch them with pleasure. As for you question about why they only built 9 floor buildings? This is why - they stopped at nine floors for a very good and economical reason: houses with a height of 10 floors and above, according to safety standards, had to be equipped with two elevators (regular and freight), as well as smoke-free fire escapes, which required additional costs. The cost of one square meter in this situation did not pay it off.

You should do an entire about that supermarket you went to, looks very premium and cool, I wonder how different their prices must be when compared to those of Auchan or Globus.

In Nizhny Novgorod, such a bridge with cafes and shops would be almost a kilometer long across the river :)

This is a terrific area. Building it here also means that the historic core is unharmed. To think there is a Moscow City 2 also being planned! I think at one point 7 of Europe's 10 tallest towers were in this single area. Even today, the vast majority of Europe's tallest are here.

"9 storey but not 8 or 10 or 12"... The most common explanation - corroborated by Russian firefighting authorities - is that a standardized, low-ceiling 9-storey block is the maximum that can be reached by standard fire engine ladders (AL-30 model specifically). Actually in case of Moscow it is a misconception, sort of a selection bias. 12-storey and 14-storey standardized buildings are as common, if not more common, as the 9-storeys.

Бандиты предпочитали марки BMW и Mercedes, в те времена эти машины были дорогими и статусными, и их могли позволить либо представители власти либо представители криминального мира.
