As a Russian-German who lives in Germany and has been to Russia (Moscow and Chelyabinsk) multiple times I can confirm everything this man says. And I can tell any foreigner who doesn’t know anything about Russia: this is exactly the most average apartment you can get. Russians don’t live poorly at all, even though many of the commentators say „bro, the average salary in Russia is only 800$ hurr-durr!!“ it does not matter. This country has infinite land, food, wood, gas, oil, water etc., which means everything is sooo cheap. They dont rely on anyone, they are doing just fine!

You might need to reevaluate your use of INFINITE b/c you’d be incorrect. And yes, it beats being homeless in the horrible weather but the apartment is very Soviet looking and almost all of them as they were constructed during Soviet era are rarely updated which must mean there’s not a whole lot of $ left to do that. I did see a beautiful higher end new construction Russian apartments the other day but they were far from affordable. To have what would be considered a nicer 1 br apartment in many parts of the world, they’d have to pay well over a million US $. So that probably precludes the average Russian.

Talking of chandelliers, flats in Russia are let by their owners. And the better conditions are the higher the price. They're most often fully furnished as well. Quite often people let a flat they used to live in, for example, when they move to another place. So the design is often quite individual and sometimes might be, well, a bit specific:):) So I suppose this place is either a previously lived-in home or the owners just put some effort to make it look better to put up a price a bit

You were expected to clear the pavement outside your house or shop. For blocks of flats, there were rotas and we took turns. Also, back then in Germany, the toilet was always separate from the bathroom. Our washing machines used to be in the basement.

Thanks for the detailed review. First time visiting your channel. The buildings are much bigger than I expected. How many flats are there on average in each building? You said 4 per floor ,but that doesn't make sense to me given the length of the building from the outside? It's good to hear about the neighbourliness of people. The net curtains remind me of London's windows 😀. Is there only one central entrance and exit point? That would worry me both from a safety and convenience point. Are there neighbourhoods of houses. I love that these are low crime. In Canada esp in winter we always remove our boots/ shoes when we enter the house. Although I notice that it's becoming less common . Sorry about all the questions.😊

In Russia there is the famous “central heating” and the apartment is usually so warm in winter that we walk around in our underwear and regulate the temperature by opening the windows.. 😁

I live in São Paulo, Brazil and after a quick search I was able to find a few options with slightly similar characteristics. But, in neighborhoods that are good, calm, but far from the most popular ones. You can get a flat near tge metro also, perhaps a bit more expensive, or plenty of offers at a bus + metro distance. Prices increase steeply if searching for a popular or better located area. São Paulo is a big city with its challenges, but it is a great city, I like living here. Great video, TY

First time, but a really like it looking forward for my videos in the future😊

Thank you!

Hello, interesting video. Could you please make another video and show a smaller flat, and the price. The one you just showed us is a bit large. I lived in a side street to Prospekt Mira 1991, but it was free as it belonged to an institute.

Hey man, great video, thank you! I'd just like to clarify something; the country's real estate market has evolved and now has 4 classes of real estate: budget, usually panel houses, including modern ones built by the likes of Pik. Comfort-class, brick houses built on reinforced concrete frames, better sound insulation, underground parking etc. Business class, same as the prior but with a concierge, taller ceilings etc. And then you've got the elite segment, but that's reserved for fancy buildings in city centers.

Thank you for the info!

Very nice flat. From UK perspective totally agree with shoes off at the door, I don’t do it in my own home and don’t in anyone else’s even if they say they are not bothered. Who knows what you’d be trailing around the house.

In Canada it is completely disrespectful to leave your shoes on summer or winter doesn’t matter

Herein San Diego, California, this place would easily go for $2,000 to $4,000 USD a month.

Does the furniture and appliances come with the apartment?

Nice to know.

Thank you for the tour. Very nice apartment, and good price compared to UK. I'm interested to know whether there is a waiting list for young people to acquire their own flats, and how this compares to the waiting lists for social housing in the UK.

so cozy

I like the simplicity of your videos. I pay 875 a month(No utilities) for a condominium in a village in Northwest, Ohio. Subscribed.

I like very much how Russia is very self sustainable.

When you factor in the utilities and free health and dental care, that's cheaper than where I live in a very small New England, US city. I love the separate wc and wash room, it's such a cleaner and more pleasant layout. It's probably more expensive to have installed though, unless the rooms are next to each other so the plumbing is in the common wall. I also love the "no outdoor shoes inside" habit as well as removing work clothing and swapping to "indoor outfits", such a nice way to live

There is joint bathroom and toilet in one-room apartments in Russia. Also, many people join them while renovating their flats.

Good value for money!!

I am from the US and found this apartment very pleasant--One difference is the separate toilet and sink in the beginning of the video---Here that is specific for guests so they do not have to use the bedroom bathrooms that are more private I expected smaller spaces and you did a very informative video---well done and thank you In Calif that apartment would be a minimum of 1,800.00 per month

I am in Michigan, USA. It would be max $1500 here. My home has 1 bathroom for everyone. I found this interesting

So where is the gopnik problem? Outside of the apartment complex?

In the UK some of the older houses were 2/3 storey built with a separate bathroom with sink, separate toilet with sink, 2/3/4 bedrooms, front living room, back living room, kitchen, utility room. These house designs are much more practical than later designs which were based upon increased financial profit and maximising the number of houses on less land. Such as for example at a later date from around the 70's the bathroom incorporated the toilet, kitchen incorporated the back room (kitchen/diner), or the living room and back room wall was removed to create an extended large living room sometimes incorporating sliding doors to section the room when needed, not very practical, design flaws, less room space and further negative elements and issues.

Nice building. Very clean. What are the building standards like in Russia? I'm assuming it's a steel frame building. Right?

Yes, I'm no expert but a friend here who has a huge property construction business including building in New York said that these building are structurally very sound, they only really lack any nice entrances/lobby area. They were mostly bulit during the 19080's to replace the previous poorly built 5 story buildings which are now been demolished and the owners are given a new flat in replacement.

​@@englishmaninrussiaGood to know, thanks for the response. I wish you the best, from the USA. I enjoy your videos.

I live in a 70m2 flat in Japan (a city that is not Tokyo). Rent is around 500 GBP/month. The Russian flat seems definitely much nicer.

Типичная квартира под сдачу в Москве, подтверждаю.

A very interesting video, thank you for sharing. It’s a comfortable, affordable apartment in their largest city. I’ve always wanted to go to St. Petersburg to see the art and architecture but sadly will never be able to go. I’m an American and would not feel safe going.
