As someone from Norilsk (was born and lived there until 2012) I find the video is quite interesting! I think that all things mentioned are correct (like weather is bad, ecological situation is bad, isolation is bad etc) but there are still some interesting points left: * For some reason the polar night didn't affect me that much and kinda seems cool. I guess it was just a trait of being a child/teenager * Pollution was extremely bad. I think it's slightly better now as some factory was closed/renovated iirc but I don't think it's good enough even now * In some aspects the city is not that bad actually. Like comparing to the city Borovichi (Novgorodskaya oblast) it kinda just have more things to do: there are some clubs, rock concerts, anime/cosplay fests, ways to learn how do dance/do music etc. There is even a theater! (I think it's most northern theater in the world but I might be wrong on that). In Borovichi you didn't have that much stuff to do. You kinda have an option to go to Moscow or Saint Petersburg though but that assumes that you have some amount of spare money which isn't really the case. But at least the internet cost is much better in Borovichi comparing to Norilsk :D And yes, of course all of that activities is nothing comparing to better cities like Moscow/Saint Petersburg but I still kinda think that's impressive for the small and isolated city. * At least it's a good anecdote potential like telling people from warm countries about snowfalls in June :)

I'm not religious but do you know that story in the the Bible with Adam and Eve tasting the forbidden fruit? when you were a child you had not had the taste of the forbidden fruit that is why you were happy where you were. The fact that you don't live there anymore it's a good thing but just imagine you would go back there and have no option to ever leave that place. It would be 10 times more depressing. There are many interpretations for the story in the Bible however Christianity chose to interpret it literally which is plain dumb. The actual meaning of the decadence from grace of Adam and Eve is that there is no good and evil. Good and evil (or bad) are just perceptions that are generated by your drive for survival. In order to go back to the garden of Eden man must overcome his ego and with it his perception of good and evil in order to live in pure divine bliss. Children are naturally closer to that state than adults due to not being culturalised and indoctrinated with concepts and beliefs this is why no matter how poor the environment you were brought up in, when you are a child it's just natural and there's no negative attachment to it.

@Furry Police Well, if you support communism, then you should hate the current government, which is capitalistic (the fact that it's capitalistic is the only good thing I can say about it). You should also hate it because inequality is massive when it comes to almost every human difference imaginable: sexual orientation, ethnicity, class, etc. There is a law in Russia that makes "propaganda of homosexuality" illegal, which in practice makes any public display of homosexuality (even as insignificant as holding hands) punishable by law. Immigrants from Central Asia are systematically discriminated against both on a social and a juridical level, and the government does nothing about it. Arguably more importantly, if you don't have any connections to Putin or one of his friends, you have pretty much no career opportunities or hope in life, with an average salary of £800 per month, unless you move abroad, all the while if you do have the right connections, it only takes a couple of bribes to make as much as and more than you'd ever need. There is no middle class in Russia, and the income inequality is immeasurable. But inequality is not even the biggest issue: the government not only does not do anything to boost the Russian economy, but it actively undermines it, with "most" (aka all) government projects being completely corrupted by officials, and the quality of the projects is so bad that it not only does not improve the existing infrastructure, but it outright makes it worse. This way, the government budget is spent almost entirely on filling Putin's friends' and their acquaintances' pockets and on actively damaging the state of the country. You may think I'm making stuff up, but there's literally a video on KZread with 40 million views which exposes all of these shenanigans in detail (He Is Not Dimon to You), and most people just take it for granted and move on, because there is nothing we can do about it with an insurmountably authoritarian regime bearing down upon us.

You can simply go outside and suddenly there is no more air to breathe. You have a choice to move forward or backward but you need to know that such cloud is moving and you don’t know in what direction. The most creepy thing is this occasion feels pretty common for natives and they don’t really care - she spoke about it with humor and that’s it.

I went to Belize City ten years ago. That was probably not as depressing as Norilsk, but pretty up there. Life is hard economically, Belize has to import most goods so things are expensive and money isn't plentiful. It's a melting pot of Latinos, Afro-Caribbeans, Indians (from India), indigenous people, Chinese and other groups but it feels tense and unwelcoming. The crime is so bad that, at least as a foreigner, you can't go to most of the city during the day and everyone bolts their roller doors down at 6pm as if it were the purge. I've been through Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Bolivia and other countries (pretty much all of Latin America, really) and this was the most depressing place I've been to. Not to knock the country, it's full of natural wonders, good food and the people are generally nice. But it's a tough place, I don't think the economy is kind to the locals.

3:45 This is not Stalinist architecture. Stalinist architecture was a subspecies of neoclassicism and was similar to the architecture of Mussolini and Hitler. You can read about it even in Wikipedia. The buildings from the video were a fashion for Le Corbusier's architecture and were built after Stalin. In the time of Stalin, Norilsk was a low-rise town

Vorkuta is my hometown, so I'm glad you didn't give it the title of "the most depressing city". It's cool that you've found a picture with our New Year's decorations cause the citizens try really hard to cheer each other up during the winter. But most of the time it can certainly feel depressing as it's cold and dark outside, and Vorkuta's remote location also adds to the feeling of being lost and depressed.

Closed cities are certainly less depressing, because they were and remain privilleged when it comes to state funding. Closed cities (actual ones, not Norilsk) were always much cleaner and orderly than any rank-and-file town. Street crime is almost non-existent. Locals are guaranteed to be more sophisticated. These are often compact, closely knit communities in their best sense. If anything, closed cities were enclaves of utopia in mismanaged Soviet Union, permanently pestered by shortages, and definitely during the ruin of 90's. To sum up, closed cities were and still remain on top of the least depressing places to live in Russia.

For example, he literally showed the worst places of India and I think he cherry picked them for the aforementioned reasons. That's disingenuous imo. If you want to vlog about a country or a region, you research some places good and bad and then go with the flow, and not just go to the worst places. It's like touring USA and making countless vlogs about Detroit and LA homeless people and their tent living, and claiming it to be a standard USA tour.
