Moscow looks nicer than LA

We have shops like that in the uk

I know only few good projects, where there is good shopping and services infrastructure. One project of round residence has shopping centre on ground floor, with supermarket, post office, pharmacy, drugstore, laundry, restaurant, fastfood, farmers market etc... accessible with elevator from residential part. But this is very rare, 90% of those projects are simple developer's Mordor.

Not sure where you live but in the largest cities it’s very common to have stores at street level and at subway level of large residential buildings.

Common in every single village town and city in North west Europe Every single town centre in UK has this

Germany here. Food prices some going up significantly, other products barely. Energy costs skyrocketing. Rents I don't know, but more or less everything will be affected to some degree. Small businesses closing is always an ongoing thing. I have been downtrodden by the rotten system for a long time, so my life hasn't changed that much - same misery with a bit extra stress. People protest, but they are too few, too late (reactionary), they don't have much say in this US-controlled oligarchy, and are stupid enough to vote a head of state into office AFTER he had several major corruption scandals. If the utter lack of hope and the rage about people's foolishness wasn't giving me chronic burnout, I'd have done everything to move to Russia long ago.

That what is happening in Russia, China, Vietnam, North Korea,… Life is not just foods, clothes and sheltering. People is different from cattle in the slaughterhouse

If I am not mistaken what the government had planned was to push on with infrastructure development, eg roads and railways but this war will result in resources having to be invested in Donbas to rebuild homes and infrastructure. The infrastructure upgrades are still the best option for the government to invest in. This directly improves business efficiency in both private and public sector. Clearly such such investments would help rural areas and this is the are in need of investment.

Что это за ЖК?

It's great to see people are still interested in learning about Russia.

That's interesting.

Elvira Nabiullina, head of the Central Bank of Russia, predicts Russia's economy should fully recover from the sanctions by 2024, and she tends to be a bit of a pessimist. In any case, the Russians have survived a lot worse for much longer periods of time.

@@Llewellyn2844 she doesn't predict. She hopes that the things will change in the USA government and therefore a new narrative will follow.

😂😂😂

Russians simply love their apartments - we have apts for any taste and income level, it's also the matter of proximity to work or school or entertainment, and good city planning. Even those who buy mansions in the suburbs often sell them and come back to the city for the sake of convenience.

Depends on the city or the town people live in. In towns living is a house is common. In big cities everyone lives in condos and many people own a cottage in a countryside. If you live in house in Moscow, you will end up with commuting 3 hours one way to your work.

Dear Burt, Russia is indeed large and there’s a lot of land they can use. There are many government programs which people can use, such as “free hectares” across the country. Any citizen may claim 1 hectare of land free of charge (depending on the region there may be differences in purposes for the land, but generally the land can be used to build a house for living, for gardens, for agriculture/farming, and many other types of businesses). So, a family of 4 may get 4 hectares free of charge. The condition is - you gotta use the land, you can’t just get it free of charge from the government and then resell it later on, to prevent fraud, the govt gives you a free “lease” for 5 years, if after 5 years you used the land - you’ve built a house or business etc - then you get it officially transferred to your full ownership. This is just one of the Governments land schemes. The thing with cities though, it is virtually impossible to allow people to have stand alone houses. Think of it, Moscow has over 12 million residents, that’s roughly half of the population of Australia living in ONE city. Can you imagine what would happen if all of them had villas and houses? The size of Moscow would stretch beyond imaginable and would cause massive infrastructure issues. So this is what large megapolis living is like, it’s got nothing to do with the availability of land in the country. + as much as Russians like to whinge/cry about their “terrible” life, the absolute majority of them have a townhouse called “dacha”. This is a sort of a summer house, or simply house located outside of the city where you can grow anything you like, have bbqs, and do whatever etc. so this too plays a huge role, it’s not just stone jungles for them. In Australia, only a few people can afford a second holiday house, it is considered luxury. In Russia, they all have it and it’s considered “average” ordinary thing. I would also like to say this: russians have been brainwashed by the western media for 2 decades, they get the general perception of the western countries as what you’d see in Hollywood - they assume everything is super lavish and luxurious, people don’t have to work, they get super high salaries and their costs of living are next to nothing. Of course this is not true, but this is the general perception Russians have. So, when they compare their life to this western illusion - they think that everything is absolutely terrible about their country. They don’t know what they have and they’re eager to black wash it not realising that what they have is GOLD and is SO MUCH BETTER than in most of western countries.

Anywhere in the world u will find condos and apartments in major cities rather than landed terraces. Be it in Moscow, Sydney, NY, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Milan anywhere in the world. Its a fact. Juz use common sense to understand why.

@@xmyxymx Всё так и есть!👍

It's very refreshing though, to get an insight into Russia which doesn't pretend that everything is really bad.

Hi Tom. What are the media in America saying about the effects of sanctions on the Russian economy? I want to make a video comparing the difference between what is being shown and the actual reality.

@@ilonakowalski1917 thanks mate. I like that channel and also democracy now, Richard medhurst and a couple more.

You do know that's fake news, right? You useful little idiot. The swiss have the best lives on the whole fucking planet

True. That’s barely enough to survive, but there are enough channels that cover it, someone has to show brighter side as well 🤷‍♀️ After all the majority of Russians live in cities, not in rural areas. Also it’s quite common for Russians to either financially help their retired parents or even live together/nearby. But of course there are many who have no one to help….( Just like there are many poor people in any country 😔

@@NightmareLorelej You are right demographically speaking the majority of Russians live in larger cities; St. Petersburg and Moscow being the most populated. Poverty has declined to around 14.3 (same as the US) although now increasing due to inflation and unemployment. I don't think old people generally are looked after by family members or the State. When I lived in Moscow I saw many old ladies, babushkas, selling old shoes, jars of mushrooms etc at the entrance to metro station just to make a few rubles. Finally the quality of life index ranks Russia below countries like Mexico. The main reason is the climate and air pollution in cities. Russia is still a second world country (defined as former communist countries) it is not in poverty but not prosperous either.

@@derekarnold3665 well no one is talking about prosperity of all population, that’s for sure. Unfortunately poverty is now rising all around the world, the inflation rates in many countries are sky-rocketing, especially in those who usually had very low levels and are not used to it. For Russians inflation is something mundane 🙈 As for the babushkas selling some stuff near the stations. Only few of them do this to survive (especially in Moscow, where pension is much higher than in the rest of the country, like 25-40% higher), most just do this out of boredom, to socialize with people or yeah, to get some extra money by selling some things they don’t use anymore (hoarding was quite popular in ussr and in the 90s). Also they are very very few compared to the 90s-00s. And it’s very traditional to look after your old relatives, the ones you can see looking poor are those few who do not have caretakers for some reason. Also pensioners have lots of benefits, they receive additional payments to cover utilities, have up to 100% discount for public transportation and tickets to museums etc, free medical care, and most live in their own flats or houses.

@@NightmareLorelej Well I can only state my opinion of what I have observed. You seem to be an expert on Russian life so I assume you have lived there. Your comment "for Russians inflation is something mundane" as of June 3rd inflation was at 17% I'm not sure ordinary Russians one fixed incomes would agree with your view, when everyday items have increased dramatically. Anyway it's a good thing that the sanctions are beginning to bite as Russian suffering is nothing compared to what Ukrainians are going through.

That is simply not true, while yeah, pensions are not that high, a ton of social stuff is free or pensioners (like medical care for example) or they do have discount (transport services, rent and other). So no dire poverty "in mass" exists.

Hi Robert, I would like to make a video which compares the effects of sanctions in reality on Russia compared to what is shown on the news in your country. It would be great to get your opinion as to what is being shown.

American city?!?! Are you sure?!?! American cities are dirty, outdated, infrastructure is terrible, homeless begging for money are everywhere, drug addicts are everywhere.
