Shortly saying: I had an impression that Moscow Commie blocks for example are much better taken care of, but if we take any other city in Russia with the same population as Sarajevo or even bigger - Sarajevo would win without even trying. The only real problem is the facades has to be done, but otherwise in case of parking, new playgrounds, quality roads - it would win almost every Russian city with ~0.5 million people I have been too. It also could be cleaner though, especially with the cigarrete ends, but in Russian cities (not Moscow) we've got similar problems. Also the underground parkings is one thing which is futuristic and unimaginable for the Soviet hoods.. I still wonder though if the Yugoslav buildings have the problems with last floor roof leaking liket the Soviet ones?
Again a very interesting video Sergey! Those commie blocks are a bit similar to the ones they once built in the eastern part of my country. Those who have no been taken down since the end of “socialism” have been thoroughly renovated over the last years with new windows, new facades, they attached balconies to those who didn’t have them before and most importantly the flats inside have been totally remodernized with modern infrastructure. Who else would want to live in them if they had not been modernised? However, some of them are still neglected, waiting to be torn down, mostly in remote areas where they are not needed anyway. But some of them are renovated to accommodate migrants as there are so many over the last years. Watched some videos about that recently on RU-vid. Well, looks like Sarajevo is on its way but it may still take some time to get to Central European standards but its good to see they seem to be on their way. …
@@zoranpavlovski1352 haha. I lived once on the last floor and I loved it. No stomping, quiet and only freaking pigeons s..it on my balcony! But also there were signs of leaks!
@Cairol58 Most Yugoslav buildings dont need to be demolish ,most apartments are spacious and with good isolation ,they are on awerage bigger then in new buildings ,they just need new paint outside and inside and to get off rid off ugly graffiti everywhere .THey are also very fire proof ,there is no single instance as i know that some Yugoslav building was totaly burned ,if someone ascinatedly start fire in apartment it stays in that apparment only and dont spread to rest off building. But unfortunately because off corruption we dont get even that new paint anywhere ,maybe 1 in 1000 got new paint
Ha ha. You are really crazy . I have been living in Sarajevo for more than 40 years, and I have not been in some parts of the city that you have taken shots
The strange shaped building looks like a building we have where flour, wheat, corn , rice , things like that were stored , trucks just drive up under the stack, fill up and drive away. 🙋🏼♀️ To call a cat I just meow softly and they usually come to me but often stray cats are treated badly and don’t trust strangers.
Nice video Sergei. In fact, most of the buildings you showed were built in late seventies and early eigties. Arcitectiral design was done by Yugoslav and SSSR arcitects in consortium.
You have to do an indoor tour of the yugoslav era apartments. Also, go to "Ciglane". It's a big apartment complex from the late 80s where an old bricks works used to be from Austro-Hungarian times.
It's not Z, it's Ž (Cyrilic Ж) and stands for FK Željezničar (Жељезничар). You were in the part that's its foothold. Btw, Bosnian Latin specific (and all ex-Yu) letters are (with Cyrillic version inside brackets): Č (Ч), Ć (Ћ - softer version of Č, but really like TY together), DŽ (Џ, same as Russian ДЖ) Đ (Ђ - softer version of DŽ - sometimes written as DJ), LJ (Љ - like LY - I think it's same as Russian Ль) NJ (Њ - like NY - similar: Нь) Š (Ш) and Ž (Ж) Also, we use J in both scripts (Latin and Cyrillic) for what's in Russian Й (like Y in English).
Looks liveable there Sergei Greenery surrounding the apartments places to sit around and for kids to play.. Maybe those tall towers are something to do with heating as l saw a huge pipe coming out of one of them. Seems you enjoyed seeing those hoods 😊
Bro the letter Ž is željezničar football club from sarajevo and there is 2 old major clubs in the city they stay in greeat competition it seems like you are in part of the city that is ruled by ŽEljo football club 😂😂😂
@@CrazyRussianSergey I am Not an expert of sarajevos local expressions or abbreviations i am simply too old for that but i am 100% sure it has nothing to do with Gaza how do you make that connection??? There is no need to write down such things on the Wall we know everything Whats going on we are not blind like some other countries 😉
@@CrazyRussianSergeyits Horde zla, name of group who supports football club FK Sarajevo :) and manly graffiti is about them in Sarajevo. Horde zla= FK Sarajevo and Manijaci = Fk. Zeljeznicar

19:29 that's not for handicapped. that was built for an Evil Knievel motorcycle stunt ramp jump over the Bosnian apartment buildings in the 1970's. he motorcycle jet rocket propelled jumped 6 apartment blocks in a row. ask the locals the story behind that ramp. hello
I’m not from Sarajevo originally Sergei but both those concrete building in your video I’m thinking they are related to some industry or a city utility company; Great video and very detailed; keep up a good work comrade! 🇧🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺
@@79x99 it makes sense of course👍 but do you happen to know what was that old single concrete structure where employees told a trešnja/bunker please? It looks like another storage facility
During the time of Yugoslavia, when there was a national holiday such as Republic Day or May 1st, three flags were displayed: the Yugoslav national flag, the republican flag (there were six of them, one of which was Bosnia and Herzegovina), and the flag of the Communist Party, which was the only political option at that time.
If you like commie blocks visit Alipašino polje, Mojmilo and Dobrinja, I grew up in those basically and I loved it. I hope you're having a nice time in Bosnia.
Difference is that Yugoslav blocks looked nice when they were new ,well planed ,apartments were spacious at least most off them while in USSR they looked like crap from the beginning and apartments were small Edit : I see that in Sarajevo has some problems like in Serbia ,tons off ugly graffiti and that buildings were never painted
When they come to clear the slurry pit here, would you like me to mention that you are in interested in breaking into the business Sergey. I am afraid suitable packaging may be a problem through.
17:58 you found another door opened. Crazy Russian Sergey. you just walk into a building your not staying in. really really lol. i wouldn't do that. noooo way. hahaha. good one
Nothing wrong with Soviet style housing. Built well and neighbourhood appropriate. Shops everywhere. Try shit parts of London and see what it is like now.
bulgarian commie blocks are not that tall and very basic there was no good architecture in bulgaria, bulgarian flats have only 8 floors or some have 14 floors
@@CrazyRussianSergey I am interested in how yugoslavia didn't become a satellite state of the soviet union but still changed their ideology to socialism maybe that's why yugoslavia wasn't all same like the warsaw pact
OK, here is your problem with Bosnian cats... The "mac, mac" part is perfect, BUT it's what you say after it that confuses the cats. "Ks ks ks" sort of sounds like "pis pis pis" that you say when you want the cat to go away. Next time, say mac mac, but instead of saying "ks ks ks", do 4 quick kisses. Like you're kissing someone/something 4 times the fastest you can. Small difference to human ears, but huge to Bosnian cats. 🐈 Cheers!
Yugoslavia was diferently geographicly positioned against sssr, they had Italy and Austria as first neighbours. And they never been part of the sssr. Maybe that explains impression of being ahead.
@@zoranpavlovski1352 yeah. I also was surprised by the variety of designs. In Russia it would be kinda hood with 1-2, maximum 3 different buildings. But here much more different. In Russia maybe more green hoods though!
That’s true. I mentioned it when I was in Serbia that not even one metro was built in Yugo. But different approach probably. The Soviets on another hand almost didn’t have cars 🚗
@@CrazyRussianSergey Belgrade never had metro because of the two big rivers that he is based on Danube and Sava . It's water underneath, wherever you try to dig.
@abc-mf8rr yeah. Probably a Turkish word. We also have Turkish words in Russian but don’t even think it’s Turkish unless we research it. But as you can see - it could be different meanings.
@@CrazyRussianSergey It's actually originally Persian (also Turkic ofc), meaning "four-arched", so it could be applied to any sort of construction. But it shows up in Old Church Slavonic so a very very old borrowing, probably from the Pre-Slavic Steppe Iranic peoples.

Yugoskavija was socijakisticka federativna republik your saying wrong thing. Yugoslavia never was communist because only Russia was communist and Yugoslavia fight to never be under Rusia control, socijal system big different than community system but because in communist that’s not correct. because social system was thinking about people, but Russian communist system only think about weapons army nuclear weapon and that big difference between Yugoslavia and Russia.
