Hello from California, USA! I love seeing how people live in other countries and really enjoyed this video. I like your apartment and what you have done with the small space. Very cozy and well organized.
Thank you for such an interesting video. I love to see how people live in other countries. You are certainly a very organized person, and to have few things makes life easier (especially moving). Your organization looks japanese 👏🏻🙏. Big hug from Spain.

Thank you! What a delightful tour that reflects a thoughtful and intentional living style in Russia. This apartment is nicely organized and uses the space very well. The snowy window view is really very peaceful and beautiful and I find this appealing. Noisy neighbors are unfortunately a universal hazard in apartments and condominiums from time to time. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Hello from the US! I really enjoyed seeing your cute and cozy apartment. It is very neat and organized and the area outside looks very nice, but it looked quite cold with all the snow.
You did such a nice job organizing everything and I enjoyed your tour! Your English is excellent too. I watched you from my own home in Canada and it was most interesting. Thanks for your channel and hope you make more videos!!
From British Columbia, Canada it is a modest apartment but cozy, well organized and quite satisfactory! Many of the apartment buildings they are building for average to lower income people here are very small but expensive. It is getting very hard to find apartments that the average person can easily afford
Thank you for your very nice video. I am planning to move to Russia either at the end of this Summer or next year and my friend in Moscow is communicating about properties so your video helps in my making decisions. Welcome to you from Oxford, UK.

A wonderfully pleasant video... thank you for sharing the tour of your home. I'd like to check back again when you might offer a tour of your neighbourhood - when the weather is warmer and the abundant trees are covered in leaves. Wishing you all the best.
Hi from the UK. I'm browsing TH-cam as it's very quiet in my IT world today and came across your video. You have a very good standard of English and pronounced so beautifully. Houses and rent are very expensive in the UK, which leaves many struggling. Maybe I should sell up and move to Russia, but not too keen on all that snow. Thank you for showing us around your apartment. May lady luck be good to you. 😎
Seeing this video reminded me of the "tiny house on wheels" movement here, right? The appliances, fixtures are down-scaled and crammed together. I love my husband very much, but if we were stuffed in like sardines ... ? ... well - It wouldn't be pretty. Plus, I'm not sure if it's the quality of the video or what, but there's no color ... No real decorating ... I'm a pretty modest person, and stay muted to a degree but this was almost dismal.
Looks really cute your space. Kind of like New York small efficiency apartment love how you have everything in containers for convenience to get to easy. Stopped to give a thumbs up an a hello from Ohio USA
Super job!! How calming to the mind to have everything at your fingertips. My husband unfrtunately spend half his time looking for a certain tool, lol!
Thank you for this look into how you live. You are so very nice and neat! My only constructive criticism is that the volume is so low I can't make out all your words. English is very difficult, but you speak it fairly well. I wish I could hear you better.
Just quick feedback - please keep in mind to make the audio louder, as I have to go max on volume to hear you properly. Which is fine, if not for the youtube ads that blow my ears off.....
Hi!! New here. I love it!!! I just started organizing my kitchen. Tomorrow is the refrigerator. I bought all clear bins for it and a white last susan for condiments. I can’t wait to do it!!! I’m in New York USA and I’m going to be organizing my camper in May!!! It’s a lot of fun!!!
OH! It`s great! You are lucky! Because your country has a huge selection of organizers! Russians only 5 years ago began to learn about different organizers :) Good luck organizing your camper!
@@sayues I meant lazy Susan. You know what I mean. Right? It’s round and turns so put like mustards and salad dressings in and will help a lot with space. Oh wow. I’ve never thought about that. You don’t have Amazon in Russia? I would go nuts!!! I order everything from there…
@@NicoleS0913 Oh! I just looked at what Lazy Susan looks like... I didn't even know there was such a thing!) Yes... Unfortunately, we don't have Amazon. But we have such marketplaces as Ozon and Wildberries. We order different things and products there
Thank you very much for sharing this with us. The apartment is old and the landlord should be making improvements. You are very well organized and clean. I did not notice a television. I would love to go to Russia to see it. Your rent is reasonable although I do not know how far it is for you to go shopping. I live in Canada and in a very large City where the rent for a one bedroom apartment is about $2,000 which is expensive. All the best to you.
Thank you! Yes, last year we persuaded our landlord not to repair, but at least to buy a new washing machine :) Near us, within walking distance, there are various grocery stores. There are several metro stations to the shopping center. To the center of Moscow - 40 min. This is acceptable to us)
That's very generous of you to share your living accommodation. I think you are very good at organising space. I am curious about the heating system you have. It looks as if you have central heating.
The soviet concept was great - general needs could be met by walking , no need of cars . And standardization reduced cost . If these buildings look dilapidated its because of poor maintenance , which can be fixed
Thank you for sharing your home🙏I moved in usa from small cottage 6 hrs away to rent 1 room and bathroom, no kitchen, which is not convenient. I save some money so I can get 1 room apr with kitchen maybe in 3 months. Your video helps me to appreciate what I have . I had to leave everything when I moved but I have what I need. God bless you.
Thank you for your comment. And for sharing your experience. Sometimes it seems to us that we need to have big houses and a lot of things. But in fact, we need few things.
Thank you for giving us a tour of your space. I live in Canada and my son had a small apartment when he moved out of our family home which was similar to yours. His rent in Canadian dollars was $1,200.00 each month. What is the cost of your space each month? What kind of work do you and your boyfriend do? It is very interesting to me to see how other young people live in the world.
Thank you for sharing . I love to see how other people live . You don’t have to have a lot of material things .. I mine self like to live simple . We are alike in many ways
HELLO FROM CANADA I LIKED YOUR VIDEO I SEEN IT ON 2/24/2023. TGHATS OK YOU DONT HAVE TO MUCH STUFF IT WILL BE EASIER WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR A MINIMALIST. SO AM I BUT I LOVE CLOTHES TOO MUCH HA HA.
A free hug from Berlin. You're very well organised. You've made the best out of it. Neighbours can be a problem. I invited my enemies for tea and cakes and turned them into friends. While having some lovely chats with them I told them how awfully nice they are - yes a little lie - and that I often hear other neighbours' TV. They must have understood my message. Now everything is quiet for Berlin standards. Mrs Kondo opened my eyes. Through things away if you really don't need them.
wonderful to see what life is like for people in Russian, your home is so nice, what is life like these days, have things changed in a big way, or is it much the same.
Thank you. Thank you) In fact, life is hard right now. Practically the whole world believes that all Russians are to blame, although only a few people in power are to blame.
Thank you I found it very interesting I could do with copping your storage ideas I would have love to see Russia but to old and three cats and a large dog so those travels are long gone bright blessings to you and your boyfriend
That's not bad for $500 bucks. A Few questions: 1. This organizing of everything is EXTREME! Is this normal? Or is this more of a cultural thing? 2. Is Heating and electricity is included? I have heard that Heating is usually central or building wide. 3. Do you have Cable , Fiber, DSL or Wireless for Internet? How much is it & Speeds? 4. Is this what you call a Studio apartment? I did not see a bedroom. 5. How much is the Natural Gas prices and bills for using it as it looks like a gas stove? 6. Is the water heated per apartment? Or by a water heater in each unit? 7. Is air conditioning needed in the summer months? About your area of Russia. How far do you have to get out in order to get the really cheap apartments and houses? I heard that the people make as little as $219 for a pension from their retirement. With the average salary being around 35,000 Rubbles per month. ( $500 ) How do people afford to live there? Thank you!
Okay, I'm not from there, not even living there but it's not hard to answer your questions, generally. 1) when you don't have a very large space, everything needs to be tidy. One day without cleaning might produce a domino effect of smaller messes which is later going to be hard to get rid of. It's a thing for anyone except western countries, particularly North American lifestyle, because they are got used to very large houses over which it's very easy to lose control, especially if you have very many things. 2) they have central heating by hot water, sometimes as a system that is meant for several buildings (block of few ones) and sometimes for one large building. In this kind of blocks she showed, it's from soviet era and very sturdy and efficient. It also answers #6. Electricity and heating are extremely low cost fee in comparison to Europe, and from what I've learned very poor people have no problem catching up with such bills, unlike in EU. 3) I don't know for her but I've heard from a Russian who resides in St Petersburg, they in appartment have unlimited traffic high speed Internet with WiFi for family for 8 euros per month. They don't call it "flat rate", they call it "normal unlimited", because most of people have that anyway. I asked why is that normal, so cheap, and such a good option,... Answer was: "Well, you know Russia is a country of hackers? Don't you think they need good conditions? 😂" I got a feeling, even if something is currently not good, russian IT experts working in legal area of IT would fix it. 4) Soviet standard was 1 room apartment. In that case that room is everything, and is being transformed from living room in the day, into bedroom in the night. She says this was a "guestroom", probably to simplify it. Nowadays Russian standard of newly built apartment blocks is higer, 2 or 3 rooms, especially in larger cities. You choose what you want to use them for. Among communist countries highest standard of living used to have Yugoslavia, where yugoslav standard of rooms number was 2 or 3 rooms. There in 2 room apartments, living room is still to be transformed into bedroom at night (sofas which open up into a bed), while the second room becomes children's room. In case of 3 room apartment, living room can be a full time living room and third room is master bedroom. This is how they separate things nowadays in new standard in Russia as well. 5) I don't know their exact prices but I've heard gas is so insanely cheap there that who has things running on gas literally can be unemployed and still somehow can pay for it. But not everyone has that kind of installations because it's not particularly needed, due to central heating being mostly provided by water heating systems. The bottles of liquid gas can be purchased separately if one wishes for, and this is also a thing in some parts of Europe. 7) Europe in general doesn't use air conditioning, it's extremely rare anyone owns it, even in very warm countries like Spain. Russian summers are less warm than in Mediterranean, for sure, except for in southern parts. I bet they wouldn't give money on something so "useless" either way. This is more Northern American thing. Bussiness spaces often have air conditioning, but schools and old hospitals never do, and this is a repeated pattern in so many countries. Hospitals do have some weird advanced old architecture that naturally protects from heat though, very thick walls or whatever. This is how you'll find it across most of southern, south Eastern, Eastern part of Central and Eastern Europe (Including Russia). 8) People own their own apartments, which means they won't pay that rent they (these you tubers) are paying. And they are paying it because they are young and can't afford to have their own appartment yet. Since they are young and can afford this rent price, it means they earn far more than that what you wrote. Taxes on apartments in Russia are similar to some countries of south Eastern Europe which aren't in EU - extremely small. There are such places where tax for ownership of an apartment doesn't exceed 3 euros per year. Don't forget some people inherit apartments from their parents and grandparents. And that it was possible to get a free housing by the government in times of Soviet Union. All in all, it's not impossible someone has an appartment and never had to work or pay for it. Not particularly unseen in south-eastern Europe too. PS: never forget that what you perceive as low income does not necessarily mean low buying power in that particular country. If everything what you need is affordable with that income, you find out you don't need a high income afterall. It's harder to save some money on the side, though, in cases income covers most of the needs and that's it, that's true.
@@jelenad6367 подписываюсь под каждым словом, кроме одного. Сейчас практически все поликлиники и больницы отремонтированы (говорю про Москву, в которой проживаю на данный момент и свой небольшой городок, где я родилась. Ну и про города-миллионники тоже можно такое сказать с уверенностью). И в поликлиниках поддерживается прохлада еще и с помощью кондиционеров. Хотя и без этого в таких усреждениях достаточно комфортная температура
Maybe you could raise up your refrigerator so that you don't have to stoop to get things out of it. I like the big window in your kitchen. You're very organized
What is the cost in rent for the apartment, how much is electricity, gas, water, heating, internet etc. Thank you for posting, very interesting and very organised.
Yes, you are right. Now I haven’t any types of art. But when I will live in my own house or apartment, I want to have different paintings. And through a few weeks, I’ll make a plate or mug out of clay)
How do you deal with such little space? Not much area to work with, I like to be able to move around inside. I like having space. It is nice and all don’t get me wrong just needs to be a little bit bigger. No disrespect.

Thank you very much! You are right!
A free hug from Berlin. You're very well organised. You've made the best out of it. Neighbours can be a problem. I invited my enemies for tea and cakes and turned them into friends. While having some lovely chats with them I told them how awfully nice they are - yes a little lie - and that I often hear other neighbours' TV. They must have understood my message. Now everything is quiet for Berlin standards. Mrs Kondo opened my eyes. Through things away if you really don't need them.
Don't throw things because you will live to regret it
Thank you for sharing
Lovely apartment
Lovely to meet you. Albeit online. Best wishes.
Nice to meet you! Thank you for sharing your home:)
Nice to meet you too))
wonderful to see what life is like for people in Russian, your home is so nice, what is life like these days, have things changed in a big way, or is it much the same.
Thank you.
Thank you)
In fact, life is hard right now. Practically the whole world believes that all Russians are to blame, although only a few people in power are to blame.
@@sayues i fully understand, must be so stressful for you all, stay strong, bless you.
@@chrismullan7191 thank you)
@@sayues not true, not only a few people in power
Thank you I found it very interesting I could do with copping your storage ideas I would have love to see Russia but to old and three cats and a large dog so those travels are long gone bright blessings to you and your boyfriend
That's not bad for $500 bucks. A Few questions:
1. This organizing of everything is EXTREME! Is this normal? Or is this more of a cultural thing?
2. Is Heating and electricity is included? I have heard that Heating is usually central or building wide.
3. Do you have Cable , Fiber, DSL or Wireless for Internet? How much is it & Speeds?
4. Is this what you call a Studio apartment? I did not see a bedroom.
5. How much is the Natural Gas prices and bills for using it as it looks like a gas stove?
6. Is the water heated per apartment? Or by a water heater in each unit?
7. Is air conditioning needed in the summer months?
About your area of Russia. How far do you have to get out in order to get the really cheap apartments and houses? I heard that the people make as little as $219 for a pension from their retirement. With the average salary being around 35,000 Rubbles per month. ( $500 ) How do people afford to live there?
Thank you!
Okay, I'm not from there, not even living there but it's not hard to answer your questions, generally.
1) when you don't have a very large space, everything needs to be tidy. One day without cleaning might produce a domino effect of smaller messes which is later going to be hard to get rid of. It's a thing for anyone except western countries, particularly North American lifestyle, because they are got used to very large houses over which it's very easy to lose control, especially if you have very many things.
2) they have central heating by hot water, sometimes as a system that is meant for several buildings (block of few ones) and sometimes for one large building. In this kind of blocks she showed, it's from soviet era and very sturdy and efficient. It also answers #6. Electricity and heating are extremely low cost fee in comparison to Europe, and from what I've learned very poor people have no problem catching up with such bills, unlike in EU.
3) I don't know for her but I've heard from a Russian who resides in St Petersburg, they in appartment have unlimited traffic high speed Internet with WiFi for family for 8 euros per month. They don't call it "flat rate", they call it "normal unlimited", because most of people have that anyway. I asked why is that normal, so cheap, and such a good option,... Answer was: "Well, you know Russia is a country of hackers? Don't you think they need good conditions? 😂" I got a feeling, even if something is currently not good, russian IT experts working in legal area of IT would fix it.
4) Soviet standard was 1 room apartment. In that case that room is everything, and is being transformed from living room in the day, into bedroom in the night. She says this was a "guestroom", probably to simplify it. Nowadays Russian standard of newly built apartment blocks is higer, 2 or 3 rooms, especially in larger cities. You choose what you want to use them for. Among communist countries highest standard of living used to have Yugoslavia, where yugoslav standard of rooms number was 2 or 3 rooms. There in 2 room apartments, living room is still to be transformed into bedroom at night (sofas which open up into a bed), while the second room becomes children's room. In case of 3 room apartment, living room can be a full time living room and third room is master bedroom. This is how they separate things nowadays in new standard in Russia as well.
5) I don't know their exact prices but I've heard gas is so insanely cheap there that who has things running on gas literally can be unemployed and still somehow can pay for it. But not everyone has that kind of installations because it's not particularly needed, due to central heating being mostly provided by water heating systems. The bottles of liquid gas can be purchased separately if one wishes for, and this is also a thing in some parts of Europe.
7) Europe in general doesn't use air conditioning, it's extremely rare anyone owns it, even in very warm countries like Spain. Russian summers are less warm than in Mediterranean, for sure, except for in southern parts. I bet they wouldn't give money on something so "useless" either way. This is more Northern American thing. Bussiness spaces often have air conditioning, but schools and old hospitals never do, and this is a repeated pattern in so many countries. Hospitals do have some weird advanced old architecture that naturally protects from heat though, very thick walls or whatever. This is how you'll find it across most of southern, south Eastern, Eastern part of Central and Eastern Europe (Including Russia).
8) People own their own apartments, which means they won't pay that rent they (these you tubers) are paying. And they are paying it because they are young and can't afford to have their own appartment yet. Since they are young and can afford this rent price, it means they earn far more than that what you wrote. Taxes on apartments in Russia are similar to some countries of south Eastern Europe which aren't in EU - extremely small. There are such places where tax for ownership of an apartment doesn't exceed 3 euros per year. Don't forget some people inherit apartments from their parents and grandparents. And that it was possible to get a free housing by the government in times of Soviet Union. All in all, it's not impossible someone has an appartment and never had to work or pay for it. Not particularly unseen in south-eastern Europe too.
PS: never forget that what you perceive as low income does not necessarily mean low buying power in that particular country. If everything what you need is affordable with that income, you find out you don't need a high income afterall. It's harder to save some money on the side, though, in cases income covers most of the needs and that's it, that's true.
@@jelenad6367 THAT was Amazing brother! Thank you!
@@jelenad6367 подписываюсь под каждым словом, кроме одного. Сейчас практически все поликлиники и больницы отремонтированы (говорю про Москву, в которой проживаю на данный момент и свой небольшой городок, где я родилась. Ну и про города-миллионники тоже можно такое сказать с уверенностью). И в поликлиниках поддерживается прохлада еще и с помощью кондиционеров. Хотя и без этого в таких усреждениях достаточно комфортная температура
@jelenad6367 I thoroughly enjoyed your detailed and informative answers! I second everything!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed your videk.
Viel Freude mi euer Wohnung.🌻
You are well organised
Hope you find a better place to live.
Thank you!))
Nicely organized
Maybe you could raise up your refrigerator so that you don't have to stoop to get things out of it.
I like the big window in your kitchen. You're very organized
Thank you) Now I have no idea how to make the refrigerator taller. But I think how to solve this problem)
I enjoyed and subbed!❤️I'm from Fla. U S A
Hello from the west coast of the USA. Do you mind sharing how much an apartment like that costs in dollars? Your English is very good!
Your English is great!
Thank you))
I think you mean "convenient", not "convention." But thank you for your tour! You do a great job of organizing.
Yes) you are right!)
Greeting from Hong Kong, nice introduction.
Hi! Thanks!))
What is the cost in rent for the apartment, how much is electricity, gas, water, heating, internet etc. Thank you for posting, very interesting and very organised.
Thank you. It's all very well organized, easy to find things. As an artist I noticed no art or handmade objects and that made me rather sad.
Yes, you are right. Now I haven’t any types of art. But when I will live in my own house or apartment, I want to have different paintings. And through a few weeks, I’ll make a plate or mug out of clay)
How do you deal with such little space? Not much area to work with, I like to be able to move around inside. I like having space. It is nice and all don’t get me wrong just needs to be a little bit bigger. No disrespect.
nice home you have, as Ukraine had, but now bombed out from Rus we saw.
I don't think she was part of the 1st tank division 🙄
