So interesting. In the West we know so little about every-day life in the Soviet Union and also in today´s Russia. It is a shame we are not interacting more in a productive way. You are doing a great job, thank you very much from Denmark. Also thanks to the owners of the apartment for letting us inside. Such a cozy home with beautiful items, I love it. The doors, the storages, the cabinets, the carpets, the floors, lovely.
I admire these people for making their apartment a home, using every centimeter creatively for storage and comfort. What’s appalling to me is how buildings are falling apart, poorly built and neglected. Sad testament of government that spend so much for military but ignores living conditions of its citizens.
I lived in Moscow in the early 90s. I remember that glass and I think it was Czechoslovakian also. I remember people wanted it too because it was “foreign”. Reminds me of a great time in life. The Soviet people were so kind to me. The culture has definitely changed in Russia.
I learned the importance of not wasting anything from my grandma. These videos share some things that are very similar to when I was growing up in the US's South. I love these videos too!
I treasure many thing used by my family over many genertions. Some older household items from earlier times are better quality than modern ones. Thank you Julie. This is an interesting vkdeo. Thanks also to the family who allowed you to show their home to us all.
thank you for this video and your insights! it was very interesting. please don’t worry about not showing the last room, i’m grateful to you for the video and the family for inviting us into their space!
Thank you Julie. I enjoy these tours very much. It reminds me of the very old duplex where I grew up in Montreal in the early 1970s. It was crammed and nothing fancy, but it had the warmth of a real home.
Wonderful video ☺️👏🏻👏🏻 So clean, tidy and everything in such good condition 💖 A really charming home. My grandparents and parents both have cabinets filled with dishes and cups that are just for looking at and not for eating off of hehe. I guess some things are the same around the world ☺️ I have seen those over the door storage cabinets in India, the ceilings of their houses are very high too. It was very kind of the owner to invite us over. I hope to hear her story in another video 💖
You’re right; every old house has a cabinet like that with dishes. I’ll tell you a secret-I have one too. I don’t even know why I keep those dishes. Maybe it’s just a unique kind of life story. Thank you very much for the kind comment. I’ll try to meet with the owner of this apartment again. She’s truly a very interesting person.
I must admit, I’ve started one of my own ☺️ hehe but it’s just a couple of shelves at the moment. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”. Can’t wait for you next video 💖
@@Soviet-Born Amazing! My grandparents in the UK are the same, and it's very interesting just how similar their home is with this soviet home! What's interesting is they are probably from the opposite ends of society - they are well off from a very "posh" area of England, and would probably find the idea of having a similar living area to a Soviet citizen terrifying! Even in different countries around the world in apparently opposite societies and economies, people live mostly the same :)
I love learning about other places. How they live, what their homes and environments look like. You did a wonderful job and I look forward to future videos. Thank you.
This content is so incredibly fascinating. Please keep doing more videos. I admire the time and effort you have put into making these videos and your knowledge and insight is rare and impressive. Thank you!
I am so glad I found your channel Julie and Hakim. Absolutely fascinating, I am American and I am moving to Yekaterinburg in December of this year. My Fiancé was a Captain in the Soviet Army and I was in the U.S. Army for 20 years. Love does not know borders. God bless you both
Thank you so much for your support! We're glad that you're finding our videos interesting, even though we had a lot of doubts in the beginning. Yekaterinburg is a wonderful city with a harsh climate but incredible nature and cultural heritage. Best of luck with your upcoming move and this new chapter in your life!
Das ist einer der besten Channel in TH-cam.Ich hoffe das du viel Erfolg hast.Ganz liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Die Wohnung der fünfköpfigen Familie ist so gemütlich .
Watching your video made me count my many blessings. I was fortunate to move into new building 3.5 years ago for people over 55. My apartment is 699 sq. ft.and is designed very well... plenty of storage space, a walk in closet in the bedroom,a large island in the kitchen and a balcony. The rent is high, $1081 USD, but cheaper than any place else. The building is 4 stories tall and has 198 apartments. We have elevators, a fitness room, a theatre room and large common space for gatherings. We have a large pavilion with grills and plenty of outdoor seating. It breaks my heart to see 0:34 the way you have to live after working for so many years. Your government is shhameful for treating pensioners the way they do. My heart is with you. Please take care. From Covington, Georgia, USA
@@ivanj.conway9919 I understand what you're saying and some do slip through the cracks in the US, but in contrast to Russia, the US has more laws implemented to help with seniors. In Russia their government literally doesn't care at all. They do not do anything for anyone there what so ever.
@@ivanj.conway9919 she is being a dick .This apartment is quite cozy and has personality ant remember it is not a new apartment.People in Russia have a lot of blessings ,too.
Everything is so interesting, I found the religious Icons fascinating. It was very nice of that family to share their hone with us. Also, you are very pretty.
This video was very healing for me. I also recall some of these types of furniture and items from my WW2 parents and again the wardrobe near the ceiling here in America. How the original builder of the house decided on that was a miracle, but Russia was very much in the news in 1913. That my father destroyed parts of the house as he renovated it and that my mother did not will it to me at her passing or to any family member tore my entire soul out at the end, and so I can never get near the neighborhood again without feeling physically ill and crying. We had a victory garden in the backyard and a Russian olive tree grew underneath the skylight of the parents' bedroom, spreading heavenly perfume. Old spinsters and ladies lived nearby or a boulevard away ready to joyfully fill youngsters with homegrown wisdom. How i yearn for that place in my old age and it brings me immense comfort to see this still existing in Russia, still, untouched by my alcoholic father's hands, and kept alive in a way that even my mother could not bring herself to do in her case of clinical depression. God bless you and God bless Russia. Perhaps I shall arrive.....
Thank you for such a candid look into how people lived during the USSR and today. Please continue to share with us as I catch up on your amazing videos and stories.
Thank you very much for the high rating on the video. I was born and raised in the USSR, and I really want to share the real life of this, for many, unknown country. There was a lot of bad, but there was also good. And I am very glad when I see that you find it interesting. I hope to continue reading your comments. Julia.
So nice... Owners are very good to take care of it. I would like to have such a home...❤ Here in Italy new houses are too expensive and fornitures for not rich people are made of plastic and chipboard. All of them, included technological items, break easly and repair is quite impossible or expensive. To have a good rent price you have also to accept houses not so well manteined. All that glitters is not gold...
That’s very sweet. All grandmothers and grandfathers are alike. There’s always a cabinet with special dishes that have never been used. My family had one of those too.
Thank you so much, David! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the video and very appreciate your kind words. Greetings to the UK, and we look forward to sharing more content with you soon!
Interesting video, thanks for sharing. I lived in Nottingham, England as a child in the 50s &60s. There were vast differences in housing standards. St Anne's district was very basic. Marple street was very steep entering from the front was a small living room, hardly used. 2 doors from that one going up to a bedroom & one down to a small kitchen, cold water tap and a wall mounted 'Ascot' gas heater for hot water. One sink. From that was another door that led upwards to another bedroom, no bathroom. The toilet was at the back of a small yard toilets built in a block of 4 (1 for each household) Baths were taken at a bath house attached was an indoor swimming pool. When the family grew , some left-1 bedroom was converted to a bathroom. There was a massive house building programme that had social housing built to the north & south if the city. This st.annes area was demolished in the 70's , more local social housing replaced it. Modern housing typically had a large lounge, kitchenr, dining room 3 bedrooms & a bathroom with separate indoor toilet. & gardens. This local govt social housing was later sold off in the 'Thatcher era. Much of it is now owned by ? private? landlords.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's interesting how housing conditions varied in different places. The shared toilets and bathhouse you mentioned remind me of Soviet communal apartments, where multiple families shared facilities. It's funny how today, this concept has been reinvented with the trendy term 'co-living'-essentially the same solution for an old problem, and in some ways, even worse than the Soviet-era khrushchyovkas, which were much better. Interesting to hear how both the UK and Soviet Union had similar trends with social housing, followed by privatization. Thanks again for your insight!

I know someone that brought a 1960's detached -deceased estate with furniture, like that. They posted pic's on Facebook, joking how old/outdated everything was, even though was well kept, had been someones proud house ( their plan was to gut the place & modernize & move in). They got a call from a TV production company wanting to rent for a TV series in that era.( the stuff they had taken to charity shops, had to buy it back) 2 weeks turned into 7yrs!! They made A LOT of money ( believe they still do). They never moved in, whole house is a 1960's "timewarp", been used in Tv ads, programs. magazines, photo shoots and believe they do tours for people in rest homes & students studying "modernism subjects" Just because somethings old & dated dosn't mean it's useless.
Thank you for such an interesting story. I completely agree with your conclusions. Nowadays, our young people seem to feel that everything, absolutely everything, related to the USSR is viewed negatively - furniture, dishes, architecture, even technical achievements. On the other hand, there are adults who say that things were better back then. We try to share our own perspective, aiming to be as objective as possible
Grew up like this. In caucuses.Great education system,free education and medical care,natural organic food,no mentally illness epidemic like what we are witnessing today.Then my mom decided to move to America 🤦🏻♀️
It's always good to see videos about how people lived or continued living conditions. I'm familiar with the Soviet Communist life structure and housing that took place in the 60's, and 70's. Very sad how the Communist regime treated its citizens.
😂 очень печально,что коммунистический режим был так жесток,что давал людям бесплатное жилье,которым мы сейчас владеем,а также земельные участки. 6 соток. Вам действительно жаль,но не нам
I grew up that you take care of the things you owned, that is not the way things are anymore due to prices being so cheap in the US. We live in such consumerism society! Buy buy, dispose and buy again!
Thank you for this video. I am very much interested in Stalinka and Kruschevka living arrangements. How kind of the family to allow us to view their apartment. The sink area in the kitchen must be standard as well, as I saw another sink area just like it in another of your videos - the apartment that was getting the sewer system revised.
I just found this channel, but it is so interesting! I am curious why so many apartments have wall paper? I don't often see wall paper in the US. Mostly I see painted walls in various colors (hating the grey fad going on right now).
You know, not everything modern is so wonderful. Today we lack everything in design, at least in the West, and it has created this dead, drone, period that I absolutely, hate with a bitter, burning, passion. By contrast, styles from the 60s and 70s are loaded with richness, colour and charm, and I long to see a revival of this. But of course, I understand what you are trying to say for the nature of your videos, and of course, it's not right that things are allowed to deteriorate this way. Despite the lack of material wealth of these people, and their lack of modern things, this place feels warm and cozy anyway, and well kept as well as the people seem able to do so. It clearly, is not a dirty or ill-kempt place, for sure. I actually, like some of the wallpaper and older furnishings, as my taste are old school, anyway. My thing is colour and richness blended well. As long as the people do not feel intruded by, I am quite, happy with your showings. Thank You.
Hello. The summer cottage season has already ended. But I plan to show the house in the village. If everything goes well, I will, of course, try to show the cottages as well.
We are all very grateful for what you were permitted to share and show, Yulia! Everything was like a perfect time capsule -- the essence of the USSR, even in 2024.
I just found your channel and saw your video on the pensioners how they live and I was pretty shocked. I subscribed to your channel. I find this very interesting since I live in the US and I am 69 your old married woman. I live in the California desert where it’s always warm.
I like warm weather, and to me, you live in a wonderful place. Our climate is beautiful in its own way: in winter, there’s frost and snow, and in summer, it’s very hot. Thank you for subscribing and for your interesting comment. Your support is very important to us!
Hey, Russian. Just wanted to let you know you gave yourself away. Theres very specific things Russian speakers do when writing or speaking English that native speakers can pick up on in just one sentence unless youre native level fluent. And you just did it. Sorry, but maybe you should study English a lil more before attempting to troll like that.
What a honour to see this marvelous home! Thank you all!

We had a hutch just like that when I was little, filled with tiny glasses and knickknacks

I know someone that brought a 1960's detached -deceased estate with furniture, like that. They posted pic's on Facebook, joking how old/outdated everything was, even though was well kept, had been someones proud house ( their plan was to gut the place & modernize & move in).

I just found your channel and saw your video on the pensioners how they live and I was pretty shocked. I subscribed to your channel. I find this very interesting since I live in the US and I am 69 your old married woman. I live in the California desert where it’s always warm.
I like warm weather, and to me, you live in a wonderful place. Our climate is beautiful in its own way: in winter, there’s frost and snow, and in summer, it’s very hot.
Thank you for subscribing and for your interesting comment. Your support is very important to us!
You’re welcome. I find your lifestyle interesting. Travel to US but I’ve never been out of the US except for Hawaii.
Numerous people in the USA would see this as a palace since homelessness is sky rocketing here.
I love it! Soviet Hood....lololol
But how did people live in Russia just before these blocks began to be built?
Podwórze zarośnięte krzakami jak w lesie, stara kanapa.. Hmm
TONS BETTER THAN HOMELESS IN USA
Hey, Russian. Just wanted to let you know you gave yourself away. Theres very specific things Russian speakers do when writing or speaking English that native speakers can pick up on in just one sentence unless youre native level fluent. And you just did it. Sorry, but maybe you should study English a lil more before attempting to troll like that.
This apartment is much much better than condos in Canada. Peoıple pay 400 000 can. for a shoe box with no personality....

Where in Russia is this place?
Кошмар, вспомнить жутко. Бараки. Ободранные.
Putin does NOT live like this…….😂😂😂
This was sad to watch
Brudny ręcznik na drzwiach...
It’s all mind over matter…….Putin doesn’t mind and the people don’t matter……😂😂😂
Barack's House? I thought he lived in The White House.
