Staying in YUGOSLAV COMMUNIST APARTMENT (first time) 🇲🇪

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

It was my dream to expierence the Yugoslav apartment and to compare it with the Soviet one where I grew up in. I can say that there are pros and cons in both. Yugoslav look better projected, with higher ceillings (but people are also taller here). But they don't have the central heating seems like or I still didn't figure out how it works. And in Russia even in Sochi where it's also warm there is a central heating, but in Montenegro and other frm, Yugoslav countries seems lke they hit on wood or use air-conditioners. Hope finally someone can explain me how it works! But the biggest thing which shocked me is the glass windows in entrance doors. It’s very safe in Montenegro and other fmr. Yugoslavia countries I’ve been to (Serbia, Bosnia), but seems like in Yugoslavia it was even more safe? It’s unimaginable for the Soviet commie blocks to have glass windows above the door. But now some people close those windows, but you can still see many original doors!

Окно над дверью по-сербски называется световым люком. Он служит для того, чтобы в коридор или другие части квартиры попадало больше естественного света.

In Sarajevo there is a central heating system powered by gas and in case if there is no gas they can use mazut, there are two types of radiators cast iron ones and modern aluminum ones. Also we have two different communist systems of pipe distribution one is on the walls like in USSR and the second one is through the floor where we have control valves in hallways, also every gas installation in Sarajevo can't be inside the walls and they have to be painted in orange color

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

@zeljkoilic4500 ohh svetlyarnik! Makes sense. But in the entrance door?))

[@martinici]

@@CrazyRussianSergey Sergey, we are small country with small population. In ex Yugoslavia police new what you had for breakfast 😄, so crime rate was extremly low. Even today is low if we talk about robbery. In general huge procent of robberies is done by imigrants, local drug addicts and false turists. In that building everybody knows everybody. If somebody suspisious enter inside to make problems those peacefull locals will quickly switch to another mode. They will not only look like gangsters 🤣I think you said that you noticed that in Crna Gora things are extreme. People are calm, have understanding for others, there is less agression in traffic for example.....until red line is crossed.

[@mr.d.6766]

great video, that appartment is very good and good idea with the past videos inserts of the OG soviet apartment.

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

Haha! Thanks! Actually there could be better comperisson, but that old Soviet aparment is the only videos i have since I lived there!

[@tangocash342]

Local KGB was known as SDB (Služba državne bezbjednosti)😅

[@martinici]

Setgey, there is no gas production and gas distribution in Montenegro. All old buildings have chimney, so people used wood stoves to heat appartments.

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

@@martinici but where is this chimney locates? In the basement?

[@martinici]

@@CrazyRussianSergey No central heating. Chimney is from bottom to top. Every apartment has connection. In most cases in kitchen, so people were able to also prepare food on wood stove.

[@yudzin88]

@@martinici Wait, you had a boiler room (kotlarnica) in the basement? But then who would burn wood in the building, was it the janitor or the tenants? I prefer a TA stove if I don't have central heating.

[@synth1002]

@@yudzin88 @yudzin88 No boilers in the basement. Some city blocks had central boiler unit for many buildings. Fired by heavy oil, coal or gas, but not wood. Im talking about Yugoslavia in general. This building on the video didn't had boiler in the basement, but every appartment had chimney connection if they wanted, for their personal stoves. In general many were heated mainly by electricity by classic resistive heaters.

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

Synth, so they burn wood 🪵 right in their apartments and connect the tube to the chimney which goes to the roof? But isn’t it kinda dangerous?

[@jojobeans64]

Elevator like riding a death box.

[@markomarkovic9136]

ahhahahahahahaha

[@vincereyes8286]

There are new model AC units that work as heaters during winter.

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

Yeah. But what people did before that?)

[@MrDEWaters]

When I lived in California, many houses only had electric heaters attached to the walls. That wouldn't work where I live now in St. Louis. Winter temperatures are too cold for that here. I think maybe the climate in the Balkans is like California in some places.

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

Yes, but in some parts it's cold. So I still didn't figure out how they heat it originally. Also not everyone had air-conditioners which could heat back in times. I see the woods but don't understand where they burn them. Maybe in the basements have some ovens for the whole building!?

[@danijeljenko184]

3:26 Small or big deal?? Funny words for pissing and shitting! :D

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

Don't you use such words for these activities? We say po-malenkomu and po-bolshomu))

[@mustafakadric4111]

Dobar momak. Zivio

[@r.a.3984]

No central heating but still this look much better

[@karolinailic2868]

Da li ti se svidjaju mesta koja si posetio ???

[@jojobeans64]

Those central wear units on the wall probably blow heat and cold. I'd like that nowadays.

[@Rich_present-777]

who was that dude in the striped shirt in the soviet apartment?

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

My clone from the failed Soviet experiment!

[@lonwaslien104]

€25/day is a bargain for that place 👍

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

Yeah. And in Kotor I stayed in a hostel for €36/day just for a bed in a room with 10 people! And the first two days paid €45/day because from booking it’s more expensive! Haha

[@MaximumEfficiency]

sounds expensive, like in the spoiled west

[@exploringsuffolk]

​@@CrazyRussianSergeyexpensive prices for hostel but apartments cheap if a UK pensioner be cheaper to live there than pay for heating in winter in UK

[@MrUGA2010]

By the word of mouth is the cheapest everywhere normally 😅

[@MrDEWaters]

Yes, I have heard that Montenegro is a very cheap place to live in Europe, especially if you are from a country with a strong currency.

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

@@MrDEWatersI believe it depends where to live and if it’s season or not. But I believe if to buy a house or the apartment and having your own car if can be cheap even in the tourist areas. Otherwise kinda expensive. (Well, at least for me hah)

[@tomaslee-fq1et]

push likes

[@GloriaHoulihan]

So many apartments in Soviet countries. I wouldn't go in an elevator. Especially in Russia

[@FlagshipScience]

Originaly i think they must have numbers everywhere.

[@CrazyRussianSergey]

Most have, but some not. For example could be address like “building (name)” or “Shop of Revolution”

[@_petrovic179]

There's nothing ''communist'' in that apartment. Why you are using that word? Yugoslavia was an socialist country, with many elements taken from various capitalist systems. It was mixture of socialism and capitalism, but never was ''communist'' in the real sense of that word. Yes, the ruling party was called ''KPJ''' but in reality (except first years up to 1948) we were unique system, never seen anywhere else in the world. And the kitchen was different, almost everything was changed in that apartment to better (of course, you wouldn't know that , and I don;t blame you) However, your video is quite interesting. Keep on!

[@ЧимитИтигилов-ш7п]

А что было в Югославии капиталистическое ?

[@Texasbber]

Must have been real crappy during Soviet times.

[@boskomilovic]

We didn't have soviet times in Yugoslavia.
