That's not a traveling suitcase lol that's a typewriter case! And "syndyk" is called a "chest" in English :) Also instead of saying "very old" or "retro" all the time you can use the word "VINTAGE" instead, it just sounds better than "very old" lol

Most of these buildings were built during the Soviet times. In Khabarovsk, many of them are even more modest. Imagine the oldest looking apartment building you can imagine. But inside, even though many of the apartments are small, they are cozy and nice. The total size of the apartment would fit into my greatroom in America.
It is cosy and very charming.

I think the odd suitcase was for carrying a typewriter. The slope was for the angled keys on 3 or 4 levels. See if there are 4 foot marks etc inside. I would have been 5 and just about noone had a washing machine or a fridge, a washing board and a wringer was common, we had to wait until about 1960 for the "white goods" to appear. Likewise portable transistor radios. Very interesting to see familiar and different objects. You are quite pale so make sure you take vitamins especially D.
What an amazing Russian apartment. So you have officially moved to Moscow? That's great. I'm looking looking forward for your Russian adventures. Greeting all the way from the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. 🇷🇺❤️👋

One of the best things about these apartments.. Radiator heat, and still air. Great for your skin. In America most houses have forced air heating systems, which blow warm air throughout the house. Some describe it as an airplane sound when it's running and it's about as good for your skin as using a hair dryer

Yes, it's very cozy, Lisa. I really like the elevator and windows. And the paddle reminds me of Northwoods lodge decor in Midwest USA where I live. Will you make tea using one of the samovars and film it for us?
This apartment is a real luxury!!!
If I'm not mistaken, these were called Khrushchevka. They always remind me of a state hospital inside, or any other publicly planned building here in the United States. I guess you can make anyplace cozy. Why they always used to put a glass transom between the loo and kitchen puzzles me.
@alext5285

I must correct you. 4 rooms and high ceilings (considerably higher than 3 meters) - this is "Stalinka" And in Khrushchev buildings they didn’t make a wide staircase, where you could put an elevator in the flight between the stairs. In Khrushchevka up to 5 floors there was no elevator; if there were more floors, the elevator was already built into the wall.
Wonderful cozy place! Lisa is the neighborhood safe and friendly? We want to make sure you are cared for. Was that thing you held up an old typewriter case?

1984. I think she might well never have seen one. Because of the samizdat I believe there were not many having one. The books were censored and the only way for the opposition to publish something banned by the regime was by typing it. Meaning they had to hide the typing machines, very few had one and probably was registered to be controlled not to be used by the opposition.

Wonderful video, well photographed and narrated, I watched it four times over. You have an absolutely beautiful apartment. It is so feminine looking and beautifully furnished and decorated. It is such a special and rare place and yes, it is also cozy. You seem to be a very artistic, creative, and feminine person. I wish American apartments had some Russian features like an entrance area to take off my shoes and coats as well as a small washing machine. I love seeing old Soviet films with the old Soviet Moscow and Leningrad apartments, as well as the movies of farming areas with old Soviet country houses and Russian life back then from the 40's up to and through the 80's. I heard that many of the Soviet apartment buildings were built from the same building plan and blueprint. Have you ever seen that old Soviet Russian film where the man comes home from a trip and accidentally goes to the wrong apt building and when he puts the key in the slot it actually opens the apartment with the same number but in the wrong building, but when he gets in, it looks exactly like his apartment over at his actual apartment building so he spends the night and the actual tenet comes home and is shocked, tells him t leave and he says it's his apartment? Bye for now, but I will see your other videos.
Enjoyed that. Thanks 😊

We are reassured that you have special doors everywhere from the entrance of the building until the keys of your room to keep you safe from the burglars and other perpetrators. In my opinion in the West the poor people have no safety.

Don't scare the girl. This electric lighter is completely safe, its electricity consumption is minimal and the discharge corresponds to any battery-powered lighter. In Russia, they have been used since time immemorial. This lighter is probably as old as this house. Now mostly lighters with replaceable batteries are used, but a long time ago, when batteries were not cheap, this option was a cheap and safe option for igniting a gas stove.

In Russia, it is considered the norm to take off street shoes in residential premises and not drag them further than the threshold.There are home shoes for the house.(slippers or shoes) or you can walk barefoot, any option is at your discretion, but not street shoes! There are always "duty slippers" for guests. Shoes are not removed only in special cases, for example during funerals.

It looks nice and cosy, we have apartments like that in Toronto, and you would pay here around $ 1800.- plus utilities hydro and heating an extra $ 400. Some high rise buildings may charge an extra maintenance fee of $ 300.-. We also have some luxury condo apartments for the rich with a communal swimming pool and fitness palour. Those rank with over $ 1 Million to one plus a maintenance fee of around $ 3000.- monthly. I rather like to live in the country site up north of Toronto, near Parry Sound (250 k distanve), where live is much mor affordable, Our cities are no longer safe, crime is way up from when I arrived in Canada 40 years ago. It was a paradise than, now Toronto is unrecognizeable in no good way. f I would not be too old, I dream of living in Russia, where it is clean, and the people are patriotic and proud. Women dress so much better in Russia and they are easier to identify as Woman. Here I'm sometimes not sure I get so much good vibes from Russia. Love your Videos !🫖🌹💃💯❤
