That is how buildings in Czech were looking back then, under Iron Curtain. The best was to get rid of the USSR influence back in 90'. Suddenly, all the buildings were upgraded and now look colorful. I am sorry Russia is still stuck back in times.

The apartment with its layout and finished would be considered top-notch in 1970 - 1980s. It would have been beyond reach of many people in that era.

Thank you, Julie, for a wonderful homemade recipe for Herring under a fur coat 😋 I love your explanation and the history behind this recipe ❤.

❤🎉

Hi Juli, I just heard stories about the collapse of USSR in Pakistan 🇵🇰 But I still feel attracted towards Russia despite being Muslim.. Why is it so? I've no idea.. The rulers can't make us hate eachother ultimately we love eachother for simply being humans just like us..❤ Love ❤

Juli,can I come to Russia? Please guide me😢

The bedroom is bigger than my mother’s in law back in Romania…

Very interesting. Thank you. Greetings from USA.

Russians deserve much bettet.

As someone with several alcoholics in my family, Its frustrating that drinking culture has always been such a pervasive part of humanity. I dont drink and I try not to judge those who are struggling but its hard.

Well this is what you get when you have a Psychopath president putin doesn't care about you Russians all he cares about is killing innocent civilians in Ukraine. But still he has money to fund your miserable military.

Если Вы решили рассказать "правду" о Советском Союзе, то хотя бы назовите это Вашей правдой. В моем окружении никто и никогда не ел только селедку с хлебом на обед. На любом предприятии была столовая, где люди покупали себе полноценный обед с салатом, супом, основным блюдом и компотом, киселем или чаем. Селедка всегда считалась закуской (appetizer). Вот то, что салат Селедка под шубой очень вкусный и всеми любимый - это правда! Кстати, я не знаю говорите ли Вы сама по английски, но Ваш переводчик тоже не всегда все переводит достоверно

I love listening to you! I feel like we could sit and talk for hours over coffee ❤️

Born 1959 they good

In the US...these people would just be in the streets.

@soviet-born in the US people employed by a local fire department use chain and lock (refrigerators usually don’t have locks) to keep the other shifts from stealing food. In the kitchen, fire department, where my husband worked had three large refrigerators right beside each other. Each one had chains and a lock. I thought it was hilarious. He said it was a necessity due to the lack of respect for fellow firefighters.😅

Your channel is just perfect. Very honest. You’re preserving a part of history. Thank you.

Переезжаем, потому что его собираются снести.

Good work documenting life in Russia. Thank you for this informative video. ❤👍

A very clean and charming home.

Julie Merry Christmas. I made your delightful dessert today! Everyone enjoyed it. I thank you for sharing the recipe. Many blessings to you and your family. Friend from Alaska USA.

Interesting! I will try this salad

Love your handbag. Who is the maker?

Chicken eggs. Not duck eggs. Not lizard eggs. Not spider eggs, dammit. *Chicken eggs*

"Herring Under A Fur Coat" - With enough vodka, it's delishish!

Russia left Afghanistan then the American went in! The Americans occupied Afghanistan longer then Russia did. He is right, nothing good in Afghanistan. American taxpayers are still paying Afghanistan money for what?

Look at the veg! They look so fresh! Thanks Julia for sharing the story and recipe for this delicious salad.

Interestingly, this dish summons a sort of nostalgia for a time I have not myself experienced, as I am too young to truly remember the Soviet Union. However, Soviet and Russian cooking always intrigues me, and I always look forward to learning and reinventing Russian recipes. Thank you for your video and your wonderfully nostalgic home-style presentation!

Looks delicious love your videos. Im in the UK

I don't eat much fish, maybe shredded chicken could work instead? Lovely video as always

You don’t have to apologize for your home cooking style. That’s what we’re here for and it reminds me of my grandmother who came to America right after this Bojovic revolution basically from mince and we had similar recipes only no mayonnaise.

Is the Herring raw and if so does it have to be???

My dear Julia, there is no need to apologize for your "home cooking" version - this is why we are here! Everything looks just perfect. Your content is very interesting. Thank you for sharing the memories and experiences of your life with us. I am grateful.

Looks delicious...thanks! I really appreciate the history lesson...when I was in University, my Russian landlady served this to her guests at a holiday dinner-- now I know the rest of the story!

Don't worry about your presentation Darling, your videos are wonderfully, natural and very, unassuming. Actually, rather, refreshing for what you usually, get over TH-cam these days. How is the weather for you guys? We just, got our first, little bet, of snow today. Hoping it will be gone tomorrow. I'm completely, happy with a Green Christmas, I assure you. Will you be doing any videos of how you decorate your house and tree for Christmas? That would be nice. Warmest Wishes from Canada. The Best of the Season. Out For Now. 🎄🎁🙂🖐🏼

Прекрасное ~

I love your channel and look forward to your videos. From USA
