[@countalma9800]

This is certainly not the “middle class” in Russia. Regular Russians (even those with decent salaries) live in large Soviet or post-Soviet apartment buildings in 2-3 room apartments. Living in a private house is still very uncommon in Russia. Living in a gated community automatically places one in the upper echelons of society, and while this particular community does not represent Russia’s economic and business “elite”, these are, nevertheless, well-to-do people. Also, this particular neighborhood has a unique design that is meant to appear like a North American suburb. The architecture, the facades, the lack of high fences - all is very unusual for Russia. Most private house residential neighborhoods in Russia look very different - high fences and large brick houses, whose architecture is very different from the styles, commonly seen in North America.

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

Things are a bit different now. I’d say this is upper middle class community

[@a3b36a04]

Land is very affordable. Lower income people just use it to grow food primarily and have it farther away, like 40+km of a smaller town.

[@robineggbluebu4371]

I'm getting the impression that Middle and Upper class in Russia is not the same as in the US? Most Middle and Upper class in the US would live in detached housing with a yard or lawn if they lived in the suburbs. This reminds me more of European housing. Or apartments in the US. Maybe in or near the inner cities the lower to middle class would live in this type of housing, but not typically in the suburbs. And the houses would be a bit larger. It would be interesting to share a video of the Upper Middle class gated communities in my area. The houses are typically 2,000 square feet or more. But we are a far cry from any large city. Here's an example of an Upper Middle Class community near the largest city in my area. If you search "Bridgefield Estates" in this city, you can see more examples. www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/36-Bridgefield-Turn_Hattiesburg_MS_39402_M80038-03228

[@a3b36a04]

@@robineggbluebu4371 ​cities are heavily urbanized. Both due to near-infinity land prices and a strict land usage regulation within a city borders. If you want to have a modern private house and some space around it is either suburbs or a rural settlement. Rural settlements usually mean lower wages within a reasonable daily road trip time. Suburban land is pricey. As for definition of the middle class in Russia there is no consensus on it. Some would say it doesn't even exist. Hope it shines some light.

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

You are right! Upper middle class is much poorer that in the USA

@@TammyMartinBLUE Tammy you'd feel right at home everywhere but in the south. In Moscow summertime is comfortable 72F and St Petersburg is even colder

Thanks for showing us.. pls put more English translations of what people say in the videos

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

Thank you ❤️ will do

[@tess303]

Hey! That was awesome! Thanks for sharing! I’ve always been intrigued by Russia and the houses what they look like in suburbs. Would love to see the same street and house again in summer- but the snow looks lovely

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

I also made a video of the same place in summer, well fall actually ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/labUlHefjMaDo6c

Thank you Barbara ❤️

[@RichieRouge206]

I think the Russian people are lovely and humans just like us! You can’t help what your leader is doing - none of us can. Thank you for the tour, the house is lovely and just how I would decorate and have it, clean and bright - lots of plants and good space. It put many new UK houses to shame as they are so tiny and miserable, and poorly built. This was a great video and thank you my friend.

Представьте, что север Мексики населяют американцы.На юге Мексики какой-то страной (например Испанией) поддерживается движение "Мексика для мексиканцев". Американцам запрещают говорить на английском языке на работе, в школе, в магазине. Американцы на севере /Мексики не согласны и сопротивляются. Тогда юг Мексики отправляет авиацию (в 2014 году), чтобы сломить сопротивление. Начинаются военные действия. В результате север Мексики обращается к США с просьбой признать их независимый статус и помочь окончить войну. И США начинает защищать своих граждан. Так что мы всей страной поддерживаем нашего президента. Украина выбрала путь самоуничтожения и теперь некого в этом винить.

Looks very nice and the house we toured is lovely. Thank you.

As a custom home builder in the US I found this to be very interesting. Nice family home with grandma touch to make it homey and comfortable. I build large houses with indoor pools, elevators, theatre rooms, golf simulator rooms, saunas, large steam showers, multiple kitchens and 5-6 car garages. My customers are wealthy but I bet no happier than the retired couple that live in that house which is really all anyone needs. Where I live even a small vacant lot like the one this house is on cost over 1/2 million dollars.

David thank you for the message! Interesting

Very nice home. I admire the china cabinet and could see glassware gilded with gold. Russians like elegant tableware and tend to have formal dining. They are very creative in the arts.

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

You got it absolutely right, Susan! My mom and our entire family loves formal dining.

[@patriciotucholla9125]

Your exposing/explaining modern live Situations in Russia is very interesting👍

[@dawng.6497]

That looks like a typical neighbourhood here in Canada. Maybe colder since I live out west but when I lived in Quebec it was bitterly cold in winter. I live on Vancouver Island now and it is a more temperate climate.

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

Dawn, Moscow’s climate is like Quebec, this place is more like Vancouver. I filmed at the coldest time

[@dawng.6497]

The inside looks very nice and well decorated. I could be happy to live there.🥰🇨🇦

My heart goes out to you our Russian brothers and sisters. Thanks for all these great videos! We have come to know you and love Russia! Now we are in fear for you and ourselves. Please! You must make sure that your wonderful country continues being the fruitful, beautiful and great country it is... Because of one person's choices the entire world is seeing your beautiful land as a threat.... You know what to do. There are more of you than there is of these destructive people in power. Normandy would still be German if thousands of people didn't swarm it and gave their lives so a despot would not ruin Europe and the world.... The world is hoping Russians will solve Russia's problem. We look to you! This is YOUR HOUR. You know what you must do and the costly price it is. I grieve for this position he has put you in..... Don't wait too long. Hopefully Your grandchildren and ours will sing your praises for your bravery and the terrible sacrifice of the many required. Our prayers are with you.

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

Don't know how this ended up in my feed but I love that it did! Thank you for doing this, you seem like such a great guy, I wish you would have worn gloves and earmuffs! I'm from Colorado in the United States where it gets pretty cold in the winter high in the mountains, but I currently live in the nevada desert 🏜 where it's miserably hot in the summer and even a little chilly at night during the winter, a totally different world only a few hundred miles away LOL your sweet Russian neighborhood looks more like home to me than where I live, thanks again for sharing, really nice video❄💙

Hi Genny and welcome to the channel! I’ve been to both Colorado and Nevada. Like Colorado much better! Our countries are so similar that it’s unbelievable! Please keep coming in for more ! 🤝❤️👏👍

As cold as it seems to be, no garages? Nice townhome. Like how safe the community is.

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

Nope, just a place to park in front of the entrance. Pretty safe, I have mot heard of one crime there in 10 years

[@elainegranzow9755]

I watch the Russian Orthodox Christmas and Easter services every year and have developed a strong love for the Russian people I see. I have seen videos of smaller rural Russian areas and now the more modern homes and feel I know the people even better. Thank you so much. I pray our leaders do not turn us into enemies and that God blesses us all and keeps us in his loving care. Oh, and I live in a small town in California, U.S.A.

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

Thank you sister! Whereabouts are you in CA? I went to school in Davis, off Sacramento.

[@elainegranzow9755]

@@INSIDERUSSIA Hello again. We were practically neighbors for awhile. I am about 70 miles east of Sacramento in the Sierra foothills and Davis is about an hour more or probably less than another hour. I have driven to the Davis Veterinary school with my various animal who need expert care so it really is not too far from me. I was so surprised to hear that you had lived in Davis for a time. As people say - It is a small world ! I feel I have another small connection to your country and people as my maternal grandparents came to The U.S. from Serbia so we are distant neighbors from the past. I have become very proud of being half Serbian and interested in learning as much as I can about that part of the world. Stay well my friend. Elaine Granzow
