Moved To My New Apartment in Saint Petersburg. Vlog

In the end of May, 2018, I moved from the city of Ufa, my hometown, to Saint Petersburg, Russia, where purchased a brand new apartment in the historical city center.
It was unfinished apartment with nothing but grey cement box. So I hired a crew of workers who started to work on it. They did a fantastic and very fast job on making it available to live in.

[@Alexx120493]

I love how russian appartment doors are always like bank vaults. When I visited Saint Petersburg the rear entrance door of the hotel was so heavy that my grandma couldn't open it on her own.

[@Aurel_7]

Axel then you haven't visit Italian's door

[@kennyholeater2494]

Yeah I've been there I could say a lot but I'm not going to

[@NickBFlair]

I lived in Rome for 5 years. My apartment door had bolts flying out in all directions when you locked it. Not a good sign. Great channel Sergey.

[@johnlavezzorio8011]

My friends had an outer. It's Real Russia! door that you could not force open with explosives

[@guernseyforever]

@@Tommy-xj6cn Same in UK. Some doors you could kick in quite easily.

[@ytrogergt]

LOL under-ass pillows ..... chair cushions!!

[@katerinakiaha6925]

IKR lol love different perspectives☺

[@PaulV.]

Close enough 😄

[@maureenh9830]

I like that description!

[@doiron12]

It is hilarious because I'm sure he may not know the English word for them so he gives a description. Seeing the world through a different can be quite entertaining.

[@emsparamedic5183]

First of all Sergey and family, congratulations on finally moving into your lovely new home! That front door to your apartment is really sleek and sharp looking. In the US we call the border where the floor meets the wall the base board and where the wall meets the ceiling, crown molding. Those LG appliance you have are really nice and the prices you paid were good. I think the paint brightens up the apartment and makes it seem more open. I hope you'll be very happy there!

[@flywithholyspirit]

Thank you for the tour. Interesting to see how people live in different parts of the world.

[@janisripple754]

Kevin in Paradise Thanks for Sharing, your life your home.

[@ddubfan]

It looks beautiful! Great job, Sergey. I've never seen a Russian apartment without wall paper, I'm proud of you for trying out something different lol Enjoy your new place!

[@crispytheone88]

What a great apartment. From now on, all my cushions will be known as under ass pillows. This is the first video I have seen of yours. I live in New Mexico and I really enjoy this stuff, wishing you and your family the best.

[@katerinakiaha6925]

lol I listened to that 3 times to make sure I heard it correctly. No offense intended but i laughed as his description. PERFECT it was. under ass pillows

[@xman4un]

[@kingsford3657]

Great apartment! I’ve also enjoyed seeing all of your videos of apartments in and around Ufa. Your whole series is so interesting and informative.

[@allenhook3042]

Thanks for your videos, I love watching what it's like there. Keep up the great work.

[@jaduvalify]

So spacious and bright. It is lovely! Congratulations on your new home! You can design everything to your own taste. I love that you can show us how you live. We can see that we have so much in common. You have earned it!

It is nice to revisit an older video of yours! It is great to see what you have done with the grey key apartment. The tiles and finishes are lovely.

Nicely Done Sergey, and thank YOU for Inviting us in to share your Passion, your Home. I LUV your forward looking orientation - it is that that Dreams are made of and made true. I CeleBrate YOU, YOUR Family AND Your Future.

[@okayvision3413]

congratulations. looks nice already. i look forward when it,s completely finished. i wish all the succes for you and your family sergey.

[@fdoctor79]

Continued success with the renovations process. Hope to visit St. Petersburg someday!

[@robertr.1052]

I love your new apartment and I wish your and your family a happy and prosperous future. I think moving is one of the most difficult things to do, and you look pretty tired. I'm glad it's not me! I also am amazed at the change in you. When you started you were almost a boy yourself, not in age but in enthusiasm and excitement I remember when you walked into was it Kentucky Fried Chicken and charmed all the women off their feet. Now you're a responsible, serious (well almost serious) man. I hope you aren't still angry at all Americans. I think most of us wish you well. If not everybody appreciates you, don't let it bother you. There are plenty of good people over here too. I think we all want good lives for all. And thanks for your videos. They have been fascinating. Bob

[@jenniferlujan2523]

What a great place that you have made!! Awesome and so spacious 👍🏼👍🏼

[@evakatrinaa]

Really beautiful, bright, and secure. Love the idea of being able to customise the electrical!

[@intikhabhussainmirza1975]

Congratulations Sergey for you and for your family to have this brand new asset!

[@LifterwiII]

Very happy for you and your family Sergei!! This is a lovely home, and I know you are going to enjoy it. Thank you for sharing Russia with us here in the United States!!

[@Pinkkermit17]

[@Vika-se5mc]

What a nice modern apartment! Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

[@bertintowncenter1]

Very Nice Apartment ! Thank You for This Video and all Your Videos !

Lovely home! The laminate floor is beautiful! The painted walls are nice.

[@franciscojaviermota2206]

THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR, VERY NICE APARTMENT

[@MoonShadowRayne]

What a nice roomy apartment. I like the separate toilet area. That is very convenient.

[@MichaelKlinePhotoVideo]

Yep. Fantastic job. Your apartment is looking great.

[@t4705mb6]

I haven't visited for a while. Looks like you're doing a lot better money-wise! Congratulations! Looks very comfortable and tasteful too! Nice job!

[@NovioSites]

Looking great, those workers did a great job!

[@paulchazottes3749]

Impressed by the result of the work performed in a such short period. Have fun and enjoy your new sweet home.

[@pathfinder54321]

Congrats on the moving in , Sergei.

[@realrussiablog]

Thanks!

[@Shak333k]

Молодец! Congratulations, Sergey!! It's very interesting to see how it works there, how much it costs. Спасибо за ролики!!

[@donm-tv8cm]

You did an AMAZING job decorating your apartment! Looks good, modern, clean. I never did understand the apparent Russian love for wallpaper, which is seen in almost every video home tour you and others have put up on KZbin (that I have seen). Your painted walls look great, especially that splash of color in Victoria's room!

[@san1280]

Good luck Sergey. Nicely done apartment.

[@scottman895]

The apartment looks great! I am sure that it will be wonderful for the entire family!

[@wvhillgal]

I love the front door and also that the bottom of the tub is enclosed. It's looking very nice and bright!

[@nicoleapril4477]

CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family :) Beautiful home, Take care :)

[@OldMan_PJ]

The apartment looks great! One of the things I love about your channel is getting to see the way things are done in Russia. Cheers!

[@XxDirtyXxXSanchezxX]

Cool flat you got there! I really enjoy your videos, learning more about Russia, always interesting. Thanks!

[@dixieh5555]

Lovely apt! Hope you and your family are happy and comfortable there.

[@debbiethompson3123]

Thanks for showing your apartment. I love seeing your living space in Russia!

[@rafaellastracom6411]

Awesome place, a lot of natural light.

[@cofferhound]

That looks like a great new home for you to make new memories in. Restarting your life is a hard thing sometimes, even if it is just a move to a new city. I have done it myself and know what you have to do to get it accomplished. Good luck to you on your journey.

[@user-er3jl9gr9q]

it's so warm and cozy ❤❤ i'm moving to saint petersburg next year and you helped me a lot ❤

[@kiebr]

Congratulations (from Brazil), Sergey. The apartment looks very nice!

[@maverickcapitalist1]

Very good blogs. I was in St. Petersburg in December, and absolutely loved the city. In fact I will be back their in September. Cheers from Chicago!

[@AldrymG]

I will not hear Sergey say “Welcome to the City of Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan of Russia” anymore. :(

[@realrussiablog]

That's not the reason not to keep moving forward.

[@theparrotrescuer3042]

Aldrym Tyler Gamatero I will miss it too!

[@philippededeken4881]

I miss Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan of Russia. :'(

[@theparrotrescuer3042]

Philippe De Deken I think we all do....

[@janisripple754]

Aldrym Tyler Gamatero saw the dacha episode 👋

[@stevekwiatkowski959]

You have a beautiful home Sergey you have come a long way my friend.

[@pam1574]

So very nice! 😃. Best wishes for you and your family!

[@southernwanderer7912]

Great looking apartment. Those workers did a good job.

[@albertaoutlaw3597]

Holy crap buddy that is one fancy apartment that you had done up, those workers did a awesome job.

[@angus2mac]

Everything looks so nice in your new apartment and hope you will enjoy it for many years. IKEA has some good products and it will be even better, in your kitchen when everything is completed. The ceiling moulding gives everything a nice finished look, too. Thanks for sharing, Sergei. ;-)

[@gilbertcordova5202]

I love your apartment. Congratulations on your new home in the Northern Capital. I’m addicted to your videos. I love your crown molding and the floor molding which we call floor boards. Thank you for sharing all your videos. I’ve always been so interested in Russia since my childhood. I hope to go there one day. I have travelled the world but have never been there. One day I hope to visit and honor the Russian soldiers who gave their lives and fought alongside my grandfather during “the Sacred War”, WWII.

[@apavisich]

Congratulations Sergey, what a beautiful transformation of your new home. Keep us updated with how you decorate it.

[@realrussiablog]

Thanks!

[@promisemadepromisekept.7575]

I love your apartment, the colors are so light..wow... only 2 the I noticed that I am used to having that you guys are missing and that's a living room and closets, but that's ok as long as you are happy with it then I am also. Thanks for allowing me into your home.

[@janethartwig774]

Wow, you did a fantastic job!👏🏻👏🏻

[@debrapartin3279]

Congratulations I am so happy for you and your family.

[@imapatching09]

Very very nice - and happy for you and your family.

[@freekimsurr]

VERY..VERY NICE APARTMENT ;) CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW PLACE!!

[@Venturanu]

When I moved into a new apartment building in piter (prosveshaynia), I had to listen to repairs all around me for months and months. They would start early in the morning and go into the evening. I hope it's not so bad in your new place Sergey! You have an awesome door!

[@realrussiablog]

Seems not that bad so far

[@alifairstone581]

love the apartment, good job. especially the bathroom tile.

[@208cindygirl]

Even here in the USA, we recognize LG as a superior brand for appliances, televisions, etc. the apartment is really coming along nicely! The nice thing is, as your daughter grows into a teenager, she can paint each of her walls a different color! I know, very funny, ha...Such freedom to decorate when you own your apartment and not rent. Very nice...

[@joecrepin6030]

Love it Sergey. It’s very big.

[@bestcity0979]

Beautiful! Congrats!

[@putinista9932]

Congratulations. Nicely finished apartment.

[@micherunnett5492]

Love your families design tastes

[@criscavi19]

Congratulation for your new apartment it looks nice!

[@ArmadaAsesino]

I love the apartment, Sergei! The painted walls make everything feel more open. Wallpaper feels too closed in. Also really like the tiles at the front door, nice detail.

[@jcguy6608]

Nice apartment, very airy with lots of light, good luck.

[@dc76384]

Excellent! Looks good.
