Russell, here's a challenge for you. Since it's the right season to do it, go film a typical черника/bilberry picking. You'd need an "антигнус" or anti-tick costume, resin boots and to get up very early to outrun the competitors. Try East of Moscow oblast where bogs are in abundance or North-West at the border with Tver for the same reason. For a heads up, read a short essay "Черничники Подмосковья" by Владимир Калабухов, it even discloses the locations.

Leroy Merlin is best still here. We had home construction markets before when USSR collapsed, Russians had no idea of such huge DIY stores. And it was a pain to buy something of quality at markets, plus, sellers set prices they want, and them were high, because tools and materials were in shortage always. Leroy came to Russia and changed everything to good. Then OBI came. We have huge construction markets still, but now sellers are in fair competition, they cannot set up prices high. I am an IT and DIY hobby guy. So I like oldschool show "Home improvement" with Tim Allen so much. And by surprise, Leroy Merlin benefited a lot after IKEA closure. They started to sell furniture a lot, even set up these small cosy example "rooms". Welcome.

[@ivanivanovich1020]

Shoplifting is not decriminalized in our parts, we have more cops per capita than you, and they are better motivated to tackle crime due to their reporting/financing system. The shop is also generously smeared with cameras and has its own security guys to harass the shoplifters as they can be reasonably sure they won't be shot - cause, you know, no free handgun circulation either. It's not a coincidence or some fundamental quality of Russian people, but a difference in policy making.

I was kind of hoping to see the price of plywood and other lumber. Right now in the US, the price is very high. I like the wood for the floors and skirting. In the US, we call the skirting baseboard. I wonder how much it is to remodel your kitchen in an apartment. Russell, every time I watch one of you or another youtuber's videos about Russia, I get a serious case of FOMO. I've been saving up and have about four years to go until I can make this leap, leave the US for good. If not Russia, then somewhere in Europe. I just hope the world stays together and settles down by then. Quick question, I have always wondered why the set of two doors? Are people worried about burglars, is that what the heavy steel doors are for? I don't recall people talking about the fear of being broken in, and they are everywhere. Cheap apartment in not so good areas as well as the nicer neighborhoods. I assume all those jars are for canning and pickling. At the dachas, they do it a lot.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

Metal doors appeared in 90-s after the collapse of the ussr when crimes skyrocketed . At that time there was a high chance to be burgled . Now -not so much . Now it is more for insulation purpose . The corridors in the buildings are cold in winter . But nowadays people usually put one door but very thick .

[@tatianapreobrazhenskaya9777]

America is infamous for using plywood even for the walls, here it's not that ubiquitous. But since we produce all this wood, it's certainly cheaper than over there. As for the double doors, it's an ages-old heat conservation technique. 30 years ago it would've been also an anti-burglar solution for those who can't afford steel doors, but this has faded since. People still like the weight and sturdiness of a good steel door, but not because they expect it to become practically important. As far as neighborhoods go, they're practically nonexistent in Russia. You might find a house or two in some posh central Moscow where solely descendants of ministers live and interact, or some remote backwater filled to the brim by immigrants from Central Asia that try to corrupt few local authorities and establish their own tribal lifestyle, but that'd be cherrypicking. We don't know the concept of a good or bad neighborhood, even the outskirts of huge cities like Moscow's Kommunarka may sometimes rival them in cleanliness and order.

Went to Leroy Merlin in Saratov a few times, this past February and March, to buy materials to fix up my mother in laws flat. It was pretty decent, but all the wife's friends said they preferred the markets and small neighbourhood stores. I just preferred the convenience of having everything in one place. I guess I sound like a typical Westerner 🤷 😀

You rather sound like a big city dweller, and your wife's friends were being provincial) When I told my Saratov relatives that I bought a melon on the Internet, they gaped as if it were a fairytale

Laminate - that's what the most conmon kind of floor is called in Canada (plastic one in fact). Linoleum is also quite common.. Hardwood is another popular one, but it's a different kind.

Just visit some major portals that YT seems to filter out but I'll try to fit in anyway: like auto-ru or drom-ru. It's pretty accurate, not much sham and you'll get the general idea. Новые means new, с пробегом is used. Play with the search, see what it brings. So far cars have spiked in price very noticeably, but the immediate result was that people stopped swapping them every three years. Now they stick with what they have and try to maintain it. I'd say it feels more natural. It seems this comment passed the filter, hooray. Also, airbags, ABS and even Glonass satellite emergency beacons are mandatory for all new cars in Russia.
