It seems you hate this type of residential areas, I've seen a lot of Russians that do. They can be categorised in two groups, one group consisted of patriotic ones who wants their city to look as rich & beautiful as western countries and others are Pro-western ones. One thing is common between them is that they have some ideas about how typical western neighbourhoods look like and they compare them with anthills they see in Russia; however, often they fail to see the full picture in the west amid all those carefully and effectively presented images of "rich western countries" Russians who've been abroad knows this reality, not everything is picture perfect in the West. I'm not saying Russia is perfect but I see a lot of positive prospects in this "anthills" for future developments. St petersburg has a population of over 5 millions which is the same population of Norway, and the population will always grow, and there will be always people with low income, if these anthills aren’t build there the city center will be congested and the city will expand uncontrollably, then it won't be possible to even make this anthills is a well planned way, rich and poor will live side by side which will create more frustration among people, the overall living condition will be poor, crime will enhance, poor people's chance to better their position by educating their children will be gone And another thing, this will give authorities the flexibility to the much needed reconstruction & renovation of city center, I've seen many soviet era buildings (specially stalinkas) that look very good outside architecturally but with horrible inner condition, people still live in those, if they can be relocated here, those buildings can be turned into spacious apartments for families with 3/4 children with proper facilities, as financial condition of people living in these suburbs will grow and their families will extend they will be able to move to the nice apartments, this is like climbing ladders, I think the government has some very benevolent & people centric purposes of building this "anthills"

Is it kudrovo?

Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg.

The style of that building is impressive 😮

Interesting video. I would have a hard time living in such a high-density environment. On the positive side, the grounds and the buildings seem to be clean and well maintained. That is important to me and I like seeing it here. Thanks for the peek inside "The biggest human anthill in Russia." Cheers/Rob

WOW just WOW that is insanely huge for residential. Its looks like a nice place too live and all though, but my concern would be safety. If theres a medical emergency how long would it take for rescue personnel too get too your apartment not too even mention a fire.. 😮

Thanks for taking me on this nice walk with you and Denis

I believe the tallest building in the USA 🇺🇸 is the Sears tower in Chicago. I wonder how it stakes up with this new building

Really paranoid about security I see 😅

Hi, Dima! Great to have you back online. This Lakhta Center Tower site is magnificent. At times I hook on to the 24/7 camera to view the entite Gulf coast. When these facilities are finished and operating the place will be The Place to spend an entire day. To all Russians, best to you on the Victory Day Celebration.

Very impressive. Thanks for the video tour!

it has a beautiful design.

I like Saint Petersburg and I like Russia.

It’s a pity that in the subject of the Russian metro, I came across a video about Prosveshcheniya Prospekt. One of the dirtiest metro stations in St. Petersburg.

And a defenestration platform on every floor. How convenient!

Hello from Moscow. Well-off people live in areas where a lot of greenery different from that one in the video. I would not live in these kind of districts if you pay me. Ants. We must build new areas with less cells in one square meter. With trees and parks and more suitable space for sociolising. This is built for profits of capitalists, not for people!

Thanks Dima!

Thanks Dima! very interesting. Do most folks in your area live in the anthills? Would also be interesting to see an apartment (even if it is just the floor plans from a website). Also, if you have the time and interest, might be interesting to add some audio after filming pointing out anything that strikes your interest. Also, these mostly seem like pretty new construction. Are there older ones around also? How are they holding up? Any differences vs the newer ones?

All those doors. Reminded me of Wolfenstein 3D. But no "Achtung!"

wow amazing view and sound :) 2:55 best spot view 😍thanks for the effort you put on this video, really enjoyed watching :) new sub + 19 👍

Saint Petersburg, my favourite city in the world in spring-summer. I was there in 2019. I hope to be able to spend some months every year here soon, as it was my plan before covid... Calm, safe, cheap city, where it' easy to find very beautiful + feminine girlfriends for a good looking guy, unlike in the West.

Looks more like China 🇨🇳 😂 But China is moving forward, Russia is going back to the 1960s

You should tell us what the signs you look at say

These towers are a more modern version of your called ant-hills. I would think that they would be more attractive to locals. Some people may be attracted by St. Petersburg, but depending on their preferences for living space they may like this type, an older apartment, or one with more space which is more costly. It doesn´t mean that outsiders are crazy for wanting to live there. Personally, I think it is an attractive city and the people who live there are good citizens. I would like to know in which district this community is located. Thank you, Dima for your generosity.

These remind me of the dorms I used to stay in. Luckily, I lived on the second floor so I would just take the stairs since it was faster than waiting for the elevator even with my bad knees.😅

Those buildings are incredible. They must house so many people. Do you by any chance know approximately how many people live in each one? I'm gonna guess upwards of 1,000.

How much it costs to buy an apartment there?

That was nice too see the inside of one of these huge apartment buildings. Its impressive how clean and organize the seems to be. With so many people living in one. Dima I am. also impressed at how fast you got your ass down them stairs hahaha. I am glad you figured out your internet and able to post again.

❤❤❤

Beautiful city, clean streets, no homeless.

Another good one, buddy. I have two questions? What is that building with all the pillars? Is this were you ran into Sergery?

Things look very normal in Russia. Don’t see any difficulties ❗️

Thank You for sharing through this cyber window the streets and neighborhoods of this part of Russia. Cheers from Latin America!

inside it looks not that terrible in comparison with Soviet time ones, but in the districts of every Western country there is a same picture, Switzerland, Germany..... All modern buildings are ugly and we call the word "architecture" only houses that were built in the 19th century and before. It's sad, urban building genocide swept the whole world, it's started with USSR and Nazi Germany "Koloss von prora" for example it's worse than Soviet ones in 100 times, although the USSR tried to abandon such houses proposed by a completely non-Russian architect who called the architecture of Paris and Russia senseless and costly, USSR didn't has choice because the war.

lol, America has tons of these... they are called government housing, aka "projects"

When showing places from Saint Petersburg, then it really would have been interesting to get a glimpse of where all the putinist Olgino trolls dwell. The “factory” from where they make their cyberattacks on the west and from where they constantly overflow all social media with disinformation and lies. And it would also be interesting to see where the legion are training western neo nazis. These places are very sparsely shown on videos.

Very nice video thank you for sharing about city life . . 😊😊

Putin Party jaja jaja jaja

There are no people on the street. No addicts wandering around littering.

I love this Music is life

Приколдесно как люди восхищаются этим типом жилья в комментах. В парнасе я не был, но достаточное время находился в "детищах парнаса". Мурино, Кудрово... В спб же находят места, чтобы и дальше строить типовый вид жилья, забывая о инфраструктуре, детсадах/школах, полиции, скорой помощи.

Did I see Lego and Hamley open? Shame on them.

wrong and misleading title..no wonder why you don't get enough subs... Murino is not for the poor !! If you guys want honest Russo channels follow Baklykov ( the most loved streamer)..

This video showed a very clean beautiful place to live. Come to where only the poor people live in the US and see something much different. All these people in this video are clean and dressed nicely. No drug addicts or homeless people.

I really like your video💋

All Western cities have districts like this, but in districts like this in Western cities, the streets are full of dangerous looking people, criminals, shitty people screaming and making noise, etc. In Russia, in the streets of even the worse districts, like this, you only see normal people. Districts like this in Russia are safe, while in the West they are very dangerous, horror places. The worse districts of New York, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, etc. are MUCH WORSE than this.... and 5 times more expensive.... Watching your videos of the worse districts of Russia, everybody can see that crime rate in the West is much higher than in Russia and that life in Russia is much more calm and peaceful.. I live in a residential area on the beach in the Mediterranean with houses with gardens and pools, and in one of the streets there is also an abandoned car that has been destroyed by some vandals. This happens even in the best districts in the West. You also see abandoned buildings, hotels, etc. not finished because of the crisis, even in the best coastal areas or best districts of big cities. The difference, is that most abandoned buildings in the West, even in luxury districts, are full of squatters and you would be afraid to walk next to them....Putin doesn't allow squatters in abandoned buildings in good districts... Have you ever been to the West?

Certainly most people wouldn´t wish to live in a beehive, but there may not have much of a choice when personal imcome is limiting. However, there appears to be an offering a variety of living spaces that may appeal to people not necessarily of low income. What I can´t imagine are the legal requirement for the organization and administration of all the services in each beehive or group of beehives/anthills. The robot monitoring the grounds is a good idea.

🙄🥱😕😕🤔Okay, am I missing something here? Well, first, if you look at some of the big cities in the West e.g., they have the same "anthills" to warehouse poor people, in New York City, Chicago, etc., they are called "Projects." They are infested with gangs and a magnet for crimes and drugs. Second, they look much better than those dilapidated "flats" that they used to live in during the Soviet era. Third, it's a quick fix to the housing shortage in that country, and an economic way of providing decent housing for people with limited resources. Everything there seem to be centralized, schools, daycare centers, shopping stores, medical clinics, etc. Why is the West always criticizing and finding diminutive names to describe other countries' projects or proposed solutions to remedy their daily challenges? Why not focus on finding solutions for their own problems. I pray and hope it does not become crime-infested like those of Western countries. 😃at least they have a robotic cop keeping eyes on things. It's all up to the people in every country to maintain and preserve what they have in order to enjoy a quiet, clean, peaceful, and enjoyable living environment. Perhaps they need to stop copying the "ills" of the West like the Graffities. The kids that mess up the place need a good ass whipping! or send those little hoodlums to military schools! That's my opinion!
