Moreover, almost half of them purchased apartments and houses on their own, 48.4% inherited housing (in Soviet times housing was provided free of charge, but there was a queue for a good apartment for several years), 8.3% have their own housing in a mortgage.

Это правда. В моей семье у всех взрослых есть жилье в собственности. Дом родители получили по наследству, старшая дочь купила свою первую квартиру в ипотеку и сама её оплачивает. Квартиру купила в новом ЖК в Калуге, малоэтажном. В квартире полная отделка, индивидуальное газовое отопление - т.е. Она сама решает, когда ей включить отопление и на сколько. Газовый котёл греет одновременно и батареи, и воду для ванной и кухни. Причём, можно управлять автономно. Например, отключить функцию отопления и оставить только нагрев воды для ванны и кухни. А можно наоборот. Или одновременно греть и то и то. Это очень удобно и экономно.

Very nice flat. Big rooms, a lot of storage. Nice views. Multiple bathrooms and even multiple balconies... Lovely! Something like this in London will cost an arm and a leg. Both balconies look amazing! Like additional living rooms. You should see what London balconies look like. Some of them don't even have enough space for a single chair. The flat is really nice overall, and the price seems reasonable, given this is within "greater Moscow" location. Anything like that in "greater London" would cost you more than £500,000. And it will be in not such nice condition, your balconies will be really awful, or no balconies. There will be no storage in hallways and no luxuries such as floor heating. I checked google maps, this town also appears to be within "great circular road" of Moscow, which is something like M25 in London. Anything within M25 is considered desirable and expensive. I imagine it is very similar in Moscow. So, location is very good.

This kind of apartment inside Moscow Circular Automobile Road will cost al least twice the price. But Moscow also has lower maintance fees electricity and ware bills etc, bigger pensions, better healthcare, better schools and universiities, more jobs, bigger salaries, more affordable kindergardens, better and faster public transportation and so on. So in the long run if people are going to live there for a long time it better to invest in Moscow, you get more comfortable life, spend less time to commute, more time to live the life and not to spend time transport

You know, Russell, I think that the near Moscow region is a very good choice of place to live. My dad lived in the Moscow suburbs, and I often visited him. The level of service necessary for a comfortable life is no worse than in Moscow, but on the other hand, peace and quiet, instead of a noisy, assertive overwhelming pace. By train to the ring of stations, almost the center of Moscow - 40-50 minutes ... so what? Back in Vladivostok, I spend about the same time to get to work, and, accordingly, back. Sometimes even longer due to traffic jams. (according to official statistics, we have 471 cars per 1,000 people). At least in this we are leading in Russia!😁

Отдельно, хорошая сушильная стоит дороже чем такого же уровня стиралка. Самая большая проблема, в том, что купленное сейчас значительно ниже качеством чем произведенное 10 лет назад. А нормальное качество пока сохранилось только в топовых произведенных в ЕС для ЕС. Например, если сейчас немецкая стиралка "Bosch 8 series" стоит 90-100 т.р. то такая же сушилка 130-140 т.р.

There is a fee for communal services. Simply put, you pay about $ 100 per month for a personal apartment, including hot water, heating, etc. And this is in Moscow, the further away from Moscow the cheaper it is 2-3-5 times. Taxes in Russia are very small, so most in Moscow, especially apart from apartments, there are also private houses outside the cities (Dacha (Country house, usually about 10-15 acres)). The salary tax is 13%, taking into account the fact that medicine is completely free. In Russia, it is not customary to pay for insurance yourself, I do not know such people who would arrange it themselves. There are two options, either the state or the employer pays for you.

У меня аналогичная по площади квартира. Правда в другом городе, 180 километров от города из видео. Средняя рыночная стоимость квартиры примерно 90 000$. Платежи за квартиру называются коммунальная оплата. Это оплата за обслуживание и содержание дома, в котором находится квартира. За эти деньги управляющая компания обслуживает дом и прилегающую к нему территорию. У меня коммунальные услуги по этой статье выходят ≈ 30$. В эту сумму входят услуги консьержа. У меня индивидуальное отопление - газовый бойлер. Отопление квартиры и подогрев воды газом в самые холодные месяцы выходит по счётчику ≈10-15$. Летом вообще ≈3-5$. Но в большей части домов России централизованное отопление. Поэтому сумма за отопление может быть больше ≈30$ Кроме того отдельно идёт оплата за электричество по счетчику. Я обычно плачу ≈5$ Кроме того водоснабжение тоже по счётчику ≈3-5$. Интернет ≈8$ Видеодомофон ≈1$ Вывоз мусора ≈ 2$ Итого в месяц у меня в среднем выходит ≈56$. Это примерно 1/16 моего среднего дохода. Ещё ежегодно за недвижимость платится налог, у меня он выходит ≈15-20$ Кроме того, в домах старше 5 лет взымают ещё плату за капитальный ремонт ≈ 1$, в зависимости от количества проживающих. Эти деньги будут тратить когда придет время капитального ремонта здания.

I know that it's not worth arguing about matters of taste, but I think such an interior solution is not only impractical, but also quite dreary. The children's room, which should probably function as a living room, is like a box, which is connected to the other rooms by a dark, narrow corridor. Even the landscape on the balcony is flat and therefore rather dreary. Two toilets, wooden floors and underfloor heating are of course a plus, but I personally wouldn't want to live in such an apartment even for a moment...

I'm from the USA. It looks like a nice apt., lots of conveniences, storage; a nice view. Nice kitchen. I'd miss a dryer, as i sort of wonder about drying your clothes on clotheslines in the Winter. It would be really nice for a couple, where you could use the one bedroom as a living room. I liked the balconies that could be closed off.

По мне удобнее обычная напольная сушилка-если аккуратненько развесить, то часть вещей можно и не гладить, а с сушкой такой фокус не пройдёт. И сразу отвечу на возможный вопрос-в России не любят синтетику, особенно в постельном белье, а натуральное все мнется.
