RUSSIAN Apartment Tour, Typical Soviet Working Class Flat | Back to USSR!

[@akoden2667]

When Russians speak English they speak it softly. I love hearing Slavic people speak English. They sound so formal but comfortable at the same time.

[@justynak7297]

Polish is not that soft though. Not similar to Russian at all

[@ink3539]

I agree. I think it’s something to do with the way they use their vocal chords when they speak English vs. Russian.

[@Ciaccona255]

As a Croatian who's language and grammar is quite similar to russian, English language is very easy for us to pick up and understand. Its very simple and grammar is not hard. Most European grammar and languages are difficult.

[@akoden2667]

@@Ciaccona255 Our conjugations are super easy however English is difficult in other regards. But I know plenty of Russians who speak it well. The only thing that Slavic language speakers tend to mess up is use of definite and indefinite articles. A lot of the time the words “the” or “a/an” is missing from the sentences I hear, but otherwise they grab a hold of it quickly :)

In the west, we heat up the living room with very expensive fossil fuels, then at 10.30 we all slope off to a freezing bedroom. In the USSR Kruschevka type buildings they have a bed in the heated room, so on bitterly cold nights the heat isn't wasted. It's economical, ecologically sensible and comfortable. I absolutely love Russian people, the Soviet era and their marvellous outlook on life.

[@Kubulek17]

They are really badly insulated. From the 2nd floor they are hot in the summer as hell and in the winter your fortune is not enough to keep them on 20celsius. (If the specific flat has individual gas heaters, called convectors.)

[@nocommentary9928]

Honestly not a bad apartment. I am sure it will look even better once its renovated a bit. As a single American man the size of it is perfect for an individual. I saw in one of your comments below you mentioned these were specifically given to individuals during the Soviet times. Given its size its perfect to accommodate one person maybe even a married couple but I would not want to raise a family in one. I am pretty sure the USSR had bigger apartments specifically for families.

[@JannaTravels]

it is usually for 1 person yes, but often people would wait for few years before given a bigger apartment...

Boy, I hope when they remodel, they don't replace that bathtub-it is fantastic! Look how deep and long it is! You could almost give a kid a swimming lesson in it. In the US in apartments, they usually just use a one piece 'insert' that comes with the sides and bottom all one, not a separate tub. It is usally made of some pre-fab materiel that is probably some kind of hard plastic-it doesn't really shine and is just weird. The tub is fairly short and not deep at all. It's a shame they are going to change the windows! They are great and even open nicely, with that nice wide shelf under that you can put knick-knacks or toaster or anything else on. I can't imagine what plastic windows means. In the kitchen, it looks very strange to just se one cabinet here and there just stuck up there! In the US, you would have wall to wall cabinets.

Maybe with a bit of sprucing up, this flat will look better. In this type of layout, I would imagine that clothes storage etc, will pose a problem. I think the large wardrobe in the living area needs a rethink. Maybe incorporate a unit that could house a TV etc, as well as other storage. Although in reality, all this costs money therefore easier said than done I suppose. Hopefully, when finished it may be less depressing for the next tenant. I can imagine the area outside is pretty in the summer though. Would like to see the finished job.

Hi, plastic windows are very popular in Russia right now, wooden are too much trouble, it needs to repaint pretty much every year and in winter the wind blows through the holes in the frame, so we used to glue paper around the frames for winter time and take it off in late spring. Radiators usually are not too hot, you can not really burn yourself.

I am wondering about married couples with children. Don't the parents have a bedroom separate from the children? Every culture has it's norms and if everyone is used to sleeping together then it wouldn't seem unusual. I (a single man) remember buying my first house in a mostly Spanish neighborhood in Northern California, USA. The house I bought was small because I had little money, but my Spanish neighbors had large multi-generational families in houses not much bigger than mine. They couldn't understand how only one person could live in a house, and I could not understand how people could live packed together so closely. It is all about what you grew up with and what is normal for the people in your life. Would love to see the apartment/house after the remodel. Thank you for your videos.

[@JannaTravels]

Hi, unfortunately I left before it was finished.... During USSR times this flat would be given to a single person or a couple, but if there is a child the flat would be a bit bigger. Usually there was a specific sm2 per person, and many single people ended up in a hostel or communal flats first... Also it was dependable on where you were working and what position - plant, institute.... worker or teacher... and where in the country south or north...

T Thinker, you probably meant Mexican-American or Mexican neighborhoods/neighbors, not Spanish. Mexico and Spain are two different countries.

[@tthinker9897]

Yes, very true, but I never really asked anyone where they came from. Here, in America, Mexican-Americans often take offence at being labeled as Mexican-origin, so I chose to spare their feelings, though there are many Indian/Latin nations south of our boarder, so one really never knows the exact origin of anyone who has come here. It is always difficult to talk about racial or ethnic issues, a kind of no-go-zone, but when cultural differences affects lives and deaths, I think the topic needs to be addressed. Better to hurt feelings and save lives than protect feelings and allow more deaths.

It's not the greatest housing, but the average rent paid in Soviet Russia was around 10% of income. In America, it's around 43%, not including taxes, when you do the calculation of median rent price (around 1100) vs median income (around 31,100). The apartment I live in, and I make a little more than the median, is almost 50% of my pay (including taxes). And that's not because I chose the best apartment I could; I chose the cheapest apartment I could near my job, which is a super expensive area (but I pay only a little more than the median rent in America thankfully). And I'm gonna be honest with you, even with less bells and whistles than an American apartment and a smaller size, I would gladly take an apartment like this if I were only paying 10% of my income to rent.
