I am still confused, IS the place called " Love and Dove " or "Love and Pigeons " On the website of the building complex, they also have it differently named. Let me know in the comments, which is the correct name of this place. What do you think of these micro districts. All self contained, everything you need to live in one place.

Please help American family Chantelle Hare in Russia. They were robbed and they are in very bad situation.
I’d say dove . Much more symbolic than pigeon
@@RadaJokovic Happens all the time in the west . Crime rates there are very high
@@TravellingwithRussell it most probably refers to 1984 movie "Love and Pigeons"
From what I know both dove and pigeon have the same word in russian, but you need take in account the symbolism, so I don't think they meant pigeon, eh.
That looked like a VERY well-maintained property! If I had to work in the city I could certainly live there.
It was about a 7 - 10 minute walk to the Metro, there was also a suburban train station about 8 minutes walk from the building also.
Как только в Москве появляется что-то новенькое , на следующий день там появляется Рассел со своей камерой !....
Это не Москва, в Москве миллион новых ЖК разных и бизнес и премиум класса, Рассел их не показывал ни разу, всё не обойти никогда как и в других городах. Россия прекрасна 🥰🥰🥰
@@RQC7RU Надо просто клонировать Рассела и всё успеет :)
А что в этом плохого ? Про советские типовые дома и так много материалов в интернете. Хочется глянуть на что-то новенькое.
@@TheRus13 Ахаха клонировать Рассела это к китайцам надо обращаться!😂
A very vigilant fellow indeed :-)
I would love to see a newer apartment large enough for a family. Possibly a 3 bedroom apartment.
That was a great tour!
Thank you for all the time you spend making these videos, Russell!!
A studio here in an average neighborhood in Los Angeles , goes for 1500 USD .
I haven't seen any this spacious.
Clean and secured .
Fantastic deal in my opinion.
I think so also. More than spacious for one person, or maybe a couple.

Hey Russel, recently found your channel and just been browsing all your videos, I love your work and to see the way of life in Russia, from a non-political view
Thank you so much. I am trying to show a normal "life in Russia" point of view. ))
@@TravellingwithRussell Yes! Your doing a good job man! I really enjoy it, I been using the last couple of nights eating dinner infront of your videos 😂😂😊😊
Мне очень нравится смотреть ваши видео про квартиры, Рассел. Они всегда выходят очень атмосферными (лично для меня) ещё и голос приятный. Далее могу лишь пожелать приятных моментов вам с супругой и удачи в дальнейшем с контентом.
That's a great place to live and nice and clean and it looks very safe and the price is good and i have paid a lot more for place and not has good quality has that place. ❤❤❤ love your video keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your experience
One third the price of my flat in London. I am moving to Moscow on the Shared Values Visa later this year.
Come for a holiday first, get a tourist visa, discover a few different cities. Then make the decision to move here permanently.
Russell is giving you a good piece of advice. First travel around, see where you like more (climate-wise). With the termporary residence you won't be able to move around that freely, you'll settle in one place. That's a rule.
@@natalya793 what you mean “its a rule”?
@davidwebb4904
Just BS. With temporary residence you have no right to left country for over than 6 month, otherwise it will be canceled… :/
@@davidwebb4904 if you have a permanent residency, you have no issues. But with a temporary one (the one you get after getting a visa, if approved), every time you move out of a certain region, you lose your residency address (which is the most difficult part to get because homeowners don't like registering people in their apartments). So every time you move out of the region, you lose this "residency address" and become officially homeless (not registered anywhere). And you need this residency address in order to get the papers done and have a legal status. Before moving to any country always study the migration laws in order to avoid trouble. If you buy an apartment, you can get a residency there, as you are your own master. Arend (Countryside Acres) complained about it in his last video - it's really problematic to get residency address for big families (especially if there are children). Arend's family got help from a local church community. They were really lucky.
Wow! Another amazing video, Russell.
Place clean well kept ❤❤❤❤❤ nice place
It was a very nice area. Even the older building near by were well looked after.
Hey Russell what a beautiful place I could live there well though out thank you for sharing ❤
Glad you enjoyed it. Me too.
Thanks Russell ... really enjoyed this video. Keep 'em coming 👍🎥❤️
Thanks. ))
That was really neat! I think your wife is right on the name being Love and Dove 😊
$600.00 a month for that unit isn't bad at all. I'd be more interested on a full 1 bedroom unit about 800 sq feet. Wondering how much that would go for monthly. It's really beautiful.
Always so enjoy your videos 🤗 lovely apartment!
A bit odd question i must say, people lives like this in the big part of the world. Nice and modern. Love the play area for the kids too,
Apartment living is very common in Russia. In this same building you can get 1,2 or 3 bedroom places as well.
Here in Canada 🇨🇦 for that price you couldn’t even rent a *single* room in a house… if you’re lucky you could rent a “shared bedroom” for that price.. 😳 Otherwise, it’s a tent ⛺️. *sigh* Love your videos showing how affordable and beautiful Russia 🇷🇺 is! You guys get a bad wrap, I don’t see why, i’d love to visit one day!! ❤
This would cost 5000 USD in Manhattan NY in the US 2,300 on long island NY 3500 USD in Boston Massachusett 3500 USD in miami florida for rent in the usa
And to think, if you went further away from Moscow, only bout 20 or 40 more minutes by public transport and the price would be even less.
In the UK, £450 would be living in a shared bedroom and kitchen or even worse a shipping container. This apartment that Russell showed would be one of those canary wharf apartment that cost £1200 - £2200 a month.
Another stupid comment! It's cheaper because you are in Russia. Not America. I could name at least 20 other countries that are cheaper than Russia for the same standard. So your comments are pointless.
yeah, come and rent it with average income per month 400-500$ LOL
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Not every apartment is $3,500. I’ve never seen such a small studio in the U.S. (maybe only in Manhattan). I used to live in a very nice, luxury studio in Boston for $2,400 per month, and it was 3-4 times larger than this one.
It kind of reminds me of a hotel room. I could not live in something that small, but it's really nice. Very clean
This is not a typical Russian apartment. This is a new type of Russian studio apartment. Russians are not used to such small studio apartments. Even a one-room apartment has a separate kitchen.
This might be a bit more typical then. th-cam.com/video/fT-Vs_eRQDg/w-d-xo.html
It is not a studio if it has a separate kitchen. Its a one room flat.
Because housing is so cheap in Russia, I'm surprised more Russians aren't just buying homes. I think that's the way to go. It's the biggest country, and you can have your own space.
@@jamesanthony3195many are not as fortunate as you and I in terms of earning capacity. That's why
@@jamesanthony3195 They are buying. Some own several apartments and create unnecessary high demand. They built more apartments in Russia than in the rest of Europe. 23% more this year.
Now I know why the pram was put out in the hallway. That looks like it could be a hotel room here in the US.
Studio is the Correct name.😁 Russell yay 👏 good timing to understand all this as last year we been waiting some nice apartments to see and the latest approx prices we have family there so I can pass their info on as well. 👌 Sydney 🇦🇺
I could, because its clean, new and convenient.
But my problem is having far too much clutter, clothing, books and general stuff.
I only have a small house, but i feel grateful for it today, i have 4 supermarkets just a minute away.
Thankyou, because find your videos so interesting.
Excellent tour of the apartment
Thanks ))
Seems quite a distance from the city center or the financial district though. Being close to the metro is an absolute must for this area.
10 minutes walk to the metro. 17km from Red Square by car.
I live in western NY and my apartment is probably a similar size to this. That apartment has better finishes, laundry, and a gated property for much cheaper than I pay (by almost half! 😅) I also really like the park near by. So I could definitely live there.
Great video. So close to Moscow. The grounds are really nice, Great exercise areas for all ages. Better than what is offered in new apartments in Sydney. Underground parking is great but should be included in the rent as in the case in Australia. Cute name “ Love and Pigeon “ or “ Love and Dove”. I prefer Love and Dove as it rhymes. Apartments are generally not furnished in Sydney. The apartment you showed us is so cramped, 34sqM, but i guess, it’s a studio that’s why. The bathroom is quite neat and lovely. It’s nice but i always prefer an apartment with a balcony. Beautiful pond, so peaceful. It’s a bit expensive at $592usd. Thank you again, Russell. Great video
Love and Doves is the Iconic Soviet movie. Bet it`s been named after it
The square footage is small compared to most apartments in the US.
You were right Russel
Thanks !!! I am going to have to tell my wife now. ))
A comparable sized studio apt here in the suburbs of Houston Tx would be about $800/mo vs $600 where you are, Although most studios here are bigger at around 67 sq meters .
Nice apartment Russell!This area is very good because there's a train station nearby,a subway station and a shooping center.
Exactly, I wanted to get the regular train home, but my wife prefers the metro.
Such a beautiful place to live! Amazing
this is how i remember growing up in Germany. blocks of units/ flats and in between were big green areas, sand pits and all things kid related. i believe it's all gone now. kids don't seem to be quite as welcome anymore.
Hi Russell, I've been watching your channel for a long time. Do you have any future plans to visit waterparks, amusement parks, or beaches in Russia? How about universities? The Kva Kva AquaPark and Moreon AquaPark are worth checking out. I believe both are located in Moscow. Khalaktyrsky Beach and Beach Yagrinskiy come to mind too.
Good ideas
Now I know why you stay in Russia ;).
Your wife is lovely (imho).
Yes, I could definitely live there.
Modern and furnished?
What a bargain by North American standards.
☮
Fully furnished as you saw it. My wife really is my everything.
@@TravellingwithRussell I am pleased that you managed to find each other.
I hope one day I may be so very fortunate.

I loved her answer better, 'Love and Dove' It rhymes and it's more romantic. ❤
Why aren’t people comparing rent to salaries in Russia? They just say, ‘I’m moving to Russia,’ without ever having been there. 🤷🏻♂️ Yes, the U.S. and the U.K. are more expensive, but the salaries are much higher too and life style is much better too.
Не мешай кремлеботам копейки отбивать
It's nicer and far cleaner than most places here in the UK. The UK is a joke and Russia looks far more appealing right now. Cool apartment and makes you realise just how much we are thoroughly ripped off - no, scammed here.
Hey Russell, here are some ideas and suggestions I would like to share with the building management because I care and I love Russia.
1. To prevent weeds from growing between pavement use a Sealer hardscape or something similar.
2. A thicker Metal posts fence is needed for better stability and long-lasting fence.
3. Please prevent stains on the pavement because it makes the new apartment look old and badly maintained.
4. Idea: I think having the kids' play area at the back of the apartment is better (Future projects).
5. Please trim the grass edges when mowing.
6. Bikes and Prams need a rack installation.
Greetings from Melbourne Australia. smile...
Thanks for the tips. I need to pass these on to my building management i think.
Russia has vast lands, but why do they keep building upward instead of spreading those building into five storey buildings? It's not pretty when fire breaks out in a high buildings folks.
Fire in these apartments is incredibly rare. Even for Russia.
Тот же вопрос, малоэтажные районы очень уютны.
Это капитализм детка. Застройщик покупает землю для застройки и естественно он хочет построить как можно выше, чтобы получилось много квартир для продажи
Times change and trends change. For example, during the Soviet Union, it was important to build new cities and towns, people went to new places with excitement. Then the fashion changed. In the near future, everything will change again (because people get tired of the monotony), there are already projects for new cities (Dobrograd, on the Black Sea coast, on Sakhalin, etc.)
Strange question - why arrived cities? City - it is industry/logistic, it is factories where you need in one place to gather a lot, sometimes thousands people.
As example right now in Moscow almost finished new building for space agency, in it at one time will be work 20 thousands people. Think about it - 20 thousands. How do you imagine placing all this people in suburbs areas? How they will came to work, back to home, where they will park own cars and so on…
Another questions: police and fire stations - they works by square, not density. It means for such areas you need much more people. You need much more roads. You need much more shops. That shops regards to low density of people will be small, it means they will provide less goods for more price. What about schools? In Moscow exist schools for several thousands kids at same time. Regards to that in that schools a lot of misc additional stuff, e.g. class of robots, mechanics, all kinds of sport and so on. In small school you can’t provide all of this. Okey, let’s open class of robots in small school and it will be visited by 1 kid, because rest are not interested. What the point? Same with medical help. In city you can build one huge center with all kinds of help and stuff. When you have small population it is impossibly. You can’t spend few billions of dollars to build hi-end health center for hundreds of people.
There are a lot of more examples (from museums to theaters). Small density city is pointless and backward a-priory. High density city is far more better. Often is only way (as example with this new building for space agency where is working 20 thousands people at same time for better productivity).
Since there is no balcony to hang laundry on, it would seem laundry is hung over the bathtub, or, perhaps the washer is a combination washer and dryer.
Thank you
Your welcome.
Любовь и голуби was a famous old Soviet romantic movie
I've got a better deal here in California. I bought my place with a 30-year mortgage fixed brand new with solar panels for free electricity with a 20-year warranty for $1,500 per month with property taxes and home insurance included in the payment. My place has nearly doubled in value in the last five years and is a 1,290 sqft house with a two car garage on a 5,500 sqft lot with a river a five-minute walk away with a trail running alongside it to a 90-acre park with an old oak grove. They're also building another 290-acre park a five-minute walk away with tennis courts, Olympic-sized swimming pools, pickleball courts, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, a 60,000 sqft recreation center, and a 1,500 hundred seat amphitheater. Plus in five years we'll have the high-speed rail, and my city was just named the 5th best city in California according to US News and World Report.
Considering this is in a national capital the rent is more affordable than most us cities and significantly cheaper than DC, which is ASTRONOMICAL.
RIght, only about 30 minutes by car from the center of Moscow.
For Americans, -25C is -13F, pretty darn cold. 34 sq meters = 366 sq ft. As for the mailboxes, people don't send birthday cards, Christmas cards or birth announcements by mail in Russia? It looks very nice and comfortable. The only thing I always find odd about apartments in Russia, and Japan, is the washing machine but no dryer. I am surprised that the combo-washer/dryer machines are not installed.
In some family apartments you might see the high quality combo washer dryers. Almost everyone has a cloth horse for drying clothes. No one sends cards in Russia. I've never heard of it in all the years I've lived here.
No, it's not very common to send letters/cards here among general population. Usually we call, video-call, or write emails.
However among entities/companies it's pretty common to send cards to it's partners on occasion of public/professional holidays.
This is too claustrophobic for me. I need a full kitchen also.
I think with out my wife, I would ok in a place this size.
Why on Earth anyone could NOT live there?
Not everyone wants to live in apartments. In Australia is less common to live in buildings like this in my city, Perth.
lol im a Ex-Russian and it looks really bad to me... We are not used to having a kitchen connected to the living space.. even if its a studio .
I have never liked apartment buildings. Grouping 100’s of people in one building is too much.
@@GwynBleysоригинально однако, это как можно стать вдруг "бывшим" русским? 🤦♀️🤔Я понимаю, что отказался от гражданства, но от права рождения и гены свои пальцем не раздавишь, если твои родители русские, то и ты другой национальности априори не станешь уже.
Answer to your question:.
It's very small and can't really cook anything substantial.
I should like to know about the noise between the apartments and about the material to build the buildings. Thank you for your answer, l am just afraid of noise !!!
I looked up "complaints" about this complex.
Seems to be good quality overall, no noise complaints.
The only thing that stuck out is many people saying it's hot in the elevator 😂 probably not enough ventilation...
I’ve considered moving to Russia since the USA is a mess, exactly why I’ve been taking Russian language courses, how well is English spoken there?
Depends on where you're going to move. In big cities, especially Moscow and St. Petersburg, people speak English (but mostly young people). In smaller cities and towns there can be difficulties in speaking English to local people.
How well do they speak Russian in the US? They speak English just as well or a little better in Russia. Look at the immigrants in your country who don't know English. You don't want to be like that in Russia, do you? You are right in saying that you study Russian in advance. Russian is not only for communicating with each other. It is also a huge culture that you can't understand without knowing the language. Good luck with your move. It is not easy, but it is worth it.
If you want to communicate with service people (restaurants, bars etc) I can ensure you you wont starve. Dont forget that English and Russian share a lot of vocabulary
Water - voda
Coffee - kofe
Pasta - pasta
Registration- registracija
Bus - avtobus
Taxi - taksi
Station - stancija
You literally would need to know 100 vocabularies to get by fairly well.
Now if you want to get into deep conversations and meet people, you would need to learn more Russian (in case they dont speak English). But you get my point, you would survive.
In some cities where were big international projects English is quite widely used even in very remote locations. For military oriented industrial centres it will be a problem to communicate. In any way welcome to Russia
@@scotland638😂😂😂
I am wondering how well the noise insulation is. My experience in living in appartment buildings in France abd Belgium is having to deal with the music noise of neighbors.
in modern apartments, the insulation is not very good, but in this case the law works - in Russia you cannot listen to music loudly later than 23:00, and construction noise is limited to 20:00
Looks very nice. No idea what apartments normally rent for but it seems like a bargain.
It would be interesting to know the size of the largest apartment in the complex and its price.
The largest place in this building, i think was about 77 sq meters, and 2 or 3 rooms. As for the price, i am not sure.
The downstairs loo is a wonderful concept. Very considerate.
I was thinking the same. Especially if you have small kids and they suddenly want to go to the toilet. Much easier than going all the way back the house.
This is very nice- I could happily live in a place that size.
But compared to Russian saleries it's not that cheap. People moving to choose kinds of apartments are working class people..
Seem like a good rental deal for local people in Russia. Safe and gated area is highly preferable place to stay if wanted to stay in a city area. Overall great atmosphere & surrounding facilities.
I agree, and its close to public transport.
Niiice...love the architectural design.
Probably fine as a temporary rental for a single professionally busy person coming back home to sleep but nothing more than that. More promising looking from outside than inside. The rental price is fine for average westerner having an income equivalent to several thousand dollars per month. But to come down for any longer retirement stay there I do not see any point for most of them. Too cold, too dark during long winters and what to do around during such days? Clean, orderly but not cozy surrounding.
Вас не греют женщины зимой, заведите голубей с помойки😊
More for a student than for a single professional. No storage space. Impossible to cook anything in that kitchenette.
I ❤ Russia 🇷🇺
Thanks for watching.
Where’s the TV? Also, is there a concierge/janitorial services? What are those arrangements?
Because the apartments are all finished yet, the concierge isn't in the lobby. Eventually there would be someone there. No tv, but you can add one very easily.
Impressive! I love the design, how clean, sleek and spacious. I prefer a flat that has some old Soviet touches but this is great. The price for electric is amazing.
Utilities are very reasonable here in Russia.
I grew up calling studio apartments bachelor apartments
In Australia, there called a Bedsit.
I've never lived in an apartment (pigeonhole) or in a big city, but always in a house. I've worked and have 2 houses, one in Oss, The Netherlands and one in Temixco, Mexico. Studying and working really pays off.
It is nice to see such new apartments up for rent for a reasonable price!
I moved in to russia very recently but to my luck the only places I am finding on cian are pretty expensive and as a foreigner no one is accepting to register me which is mandatory after arrival by 7 days . Even got scammed on avito for a "brand new apartment" for 70k rubles.
That's about the size of a hotel room. It'll work for single people but not for families.
Definitely a dove painted on the concrete in the play area!
There was, i forgot to show that.
Seattle Washington, 450 sq feet, washer, dryer, microwave, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, 2nd floor, bathroom with 3 . $1,220 + electricity $25 a month
Wow, a big difference. And you have a Starbucks on every corner. ))
Scottish guy in Moscow (the channel) rents a normal apt in the center of Moscow $750 (+ electricity $ 2) per month. I don't know why Russell shows studios. It's his thing.
@TravellingwithRussell some of the Starbucks are so big that they have to have a Starbucks in the back corner of the Starbucks just so you can find the Starbucks. ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
It is nice for a studio or temporary housing. Although you would need a TV. I don't understand the point of studio apartments in buildings for kids. It is a lot of money for someone living on a Russian income
How many ?! 600$ per month!? Are you serious!? My rent is 3 times bigger for absolutely the same studio here in Sydney, Paramatta!
Very serious, this is a friends place they recently finished the renovations and put up for rent. There was a young girl moving in a few days after we filmed this.
When you first showed the statue in the park, my first thought was Love and Peace. Dove being the symbol of peace. I live in Delaware US, Philadelphia is about a 30 minute car ride. Studio apartments around here can run $1500 to $2000 a month. Of course location is a factor.
There is a cosmic range of apartments in Moscow. From several tens of thousands to thousands rubles a month.
I am from Munich. So, it would be from 250K€ to 1M€ for 30m2 studio. To rent, from 800€ to 1500€. It is not going to be so nice as in your video indeed.... I should point out that you are always showing Moscow. Well, it is not quite Russia. Just drive 50 to 100 kilometers away. It will show a difference.
I live in Moscow, so its a big reason why I have so many tours from this area. This apartment is 50k from Moscow. th-cam.com/video/7HWjw_sJmRA/w-d-xo.html
@@TravellingwithRussell Russell, thank for info. It is interesting indeed. I just wanted to say that "TYPICAL (Studio) Apartment" is far from "TYPICAL" :0) It is rather an exception.. Especially if you are outside of Moscow Region. Then, it looks far less attractive. Believe me, I am russian :O)
Хорошие стали строить дома, симпатичные. И территория обычно есть, и садики, школы, поликлиники.
Но, к сожалению, всё равно больше 2 детей в семье редкость. Демографию уже не исправить. Не плодятся люди в городах.
Подозреваю, потому что в этих "симпатичных" человейниках никто и без детей себе квартиру позволить не может, не то чтобы там еще и размножаться
@@ФедяКрюков-в6ь сейчас все квартиры в строящихся ЖК куплены до момента введения в эксплуатацию.
@@veryveryveryvery161 ага, в качестве инвестиций, а не для того, чтобы там жить и детей делать. Да и кто в своем уме будет в студии делать детей, да еще и больше двух, а студии и однокомнатки сейчас - больше половины рынка. Потом в доброй половине окон такой новостройки вообще не горит свет, а во второй - живут мигранты по два-три человека на комнату. У меня до 2019 года тоже была студия в новостройке, знаю, о чем говорю. Потом продал, и не жалею.
@@ФедяКрюков-в6ь да, такое тоже есть.
@veryveryveryvery161 Эти микрорайоны хороши. Много всего рядом со зданием. 2 супермаркета. Это позволяет семьям легко ходить за покупками, не уходя слишком далеко. Также есть несколько парков, где можно погулять и отдохнуть.
I could but I hate big cities. I want to be in the country.
No worries, not everyone likes the city.
Actually, the price is a little bit high for a such studio taking into account avg. Moscow levels, I think 450 would be the fair price.
This place is literally brand new, no one has lived there. It's very close to public transport. Thanks for making the comparison.
@@TravellingwithRussell For sure it is not expensive, and if the apartment is really situated in a convenient place that's ok.
No Russell, that's not 44m2/440ft2. That's at least twice smaller...
Sorry for a silly question, Russell. Would the dollar you mentioned be USD. or AUD?
Im from the US.
USD. As that's the largest percentage of audience watching the channel. In Aussie currency it would be $865 per month.
Why don't you ever show normal apartments over 80 square meter? 80 square meter is not big at all, trust me. It's normal.
Love and dove! Of course. No ifs no buts.
Ok, no pigeons !! ))
Very Cool and thank you...Have prices risen or fallen in the area you live?..., Great job.
Da brividi, non riuscirei a vivere in un ambiente così piccolo. ed è pure bruttissimo.
если есть деньги можешь выкупить отэль и жить
In New Jersey that would be inexpensive both in rent and as a purchase.
No view of the Hudson river though.
@@TravellingwithRussell
But there could have been an apartment with an Atlantic Ocean view.
I take it the price in $ is in US dollars? ...not Au as that would be around $865 p/m, nice to have parks and ponds and gated community all a bonus. ... thank you Russell ...nmaking it doable
Yes, sorry it was in USD. As that's the largest audience on the channel by a long way. The outside area was very nice, and to have 2 very nice supermarkets in the building as well.
It’s all over the world now. In Canada new condo apartments also like a hotel rooms. Not for families with kids.
I could not live there. I live in a town of 1400 people, wide open 40 square miles and traffic is minimal. I could not breathe in a big city anywhere in the world. I would be suffocated. But it is interesting to see how people suffer through seeing the same things over and over eternal. Where's the wildlife, the fun in living like being in a beehive? Climate here Winters 30 F to 60 F and Summers 100 F to 60 F. Comfortable year around. To each his own. It is very clean in all cities in Russia and people are friendly but do not like the traffic, and seeing the same things eternal, like being in prison.
No I could not live in that small apartment. For me it is not important to live close to the center of a big city. Is there any possability to see something outside of Moskva city. Maybe a house for a family.
And I belive your wife is right. Love and Dove sounds better, even though it shouldn't matter since dove and pigeon is the same bird.
How much would cost to buy such an apartment?
if this was listed for sale today, as it fully furnished 120k - 130k usd.
today - 175.000$. Don’t listen that liar. For 130,000, at best, you will buy an apartment with bare concrete walls and a floor.
it's my perception or russia is changing its infrastructure design 🧐
These micro districts were always around in Russia. Of course where developer design the region, they put a few more things in place. But in older areas, you will still get schools and shops very close by. Along with playgrounds.
A bit too small.
It's very modest, yet looking comfortable.
If you don't like cooking, like myself, then this very small unit could be good 👍
Thanks for the point of view, i agree smaller studios aren't for everyone.
Was the $ amount in USD or AUD 🇦🇺 ?
I find it quite depressing soulless
TBH, I think it's overpriced. You can rent 3 times that size furnished apt (2 bedroom with large kitchen) in serbia for 500 euro. And at a very good location with great connections to the center (public transport). So in my opinion and comparatively, this is very expensive.
But, you said " Serbia" this is in Moscow. 17km from Red Square. I agree, further outside of Moscow, you can get bigger places and better value.
@@TravellingwithRussell But you said compare prices where you're from...didn't you? Or did I misunderstand?
Either way, the building is fabulous from the outside and with all the accessories inside. I particularly love the little bathroom on the ground floor, to wash your dog's paws or just pop in for a quick pee, lol
Доля россиян-одиночек выросла вдвое. Всероссийская перепись населения в 2021 году показала, что доля домохозяйств, состоящих из одного человека, превысила 40%. Хотя в начале века - в 2002-м - их доля составляла 22%. По последним данным переписи, одиночки составляют самую крупную долю. Эксперты связывают такой рост с активной сепарацией молодежи и более поздним возрастом вступления в брак.
Мне не нравится что теперь ТИПИЧНАЯ квартира россиян это однокомнатная или студия. 😥
Люди стали больше зарабатывать, пропала необходимость заводить партнера. Закономерная тенденция.
Ну и одному место обычно много не нужно. У самой трешка, но я сижу в кабине 9 кв.м, а остальные две комнаты не посещаю месяцами, ну как бы и чего мне там делать? Зачем купила трешку - сама не знаю, были деньги, вот и взяла. Многие годы в итоге самая большая комната стояла с голыми бетонными стенами (это ныне квартиры с отделкой, а раньше просто бетон), мне было просто лень заниматься её отделкой.
Если бы покупала ныне, то взяла бы такую студию конечно же.
Your wife is probably right… love and dove
Hey Russell, is it easy to live in Russia if you can't speak Russian? I'm considering relocating to Russia.
No, its not. Anywhere where you move, you have to be able to speak of language of local people. Its not need to be perfect, but at least basic communication you have to manage.
It would be wise to learn Russian, maybe take classes, read newspapers, watch dramas in Russian, radio, etc and immerse yourself.
Nice! At affordable prices, that said, I don’t know what an average income per month is and the other costs of living.
@@leyland9999 Everything is relative.
There are different salaries. It all depends on education, work experience and experience. You can get 250 thousand (2500dollars), you can get 100 thousand rubles (1 thousand dollars). But believe me, this is very decent money in Russia. If you have your own apartment, then all your expenses can be $ 300 per month per person. I live alone. I'm from Siberia, in my apartment. I get $1,200, and all my expenses are $200. For 1 thousand dollars, I can live for 4 months without working at all. I have the opportunity to save 1 thousand dollars every month. In my city, an apartment of 50 square meters costs 30 thousand dollars. I have saved money for my apartment! I've been saving up for 3 years. I didn't take any loans. I am a happy person)) I've converted everything to dollars to make it clearer to you. I live on rubles) What am I paying for and how much? Electricity per month is $3, heating in winter is $30, water is $5, home Internet is $7. These are all my mandatory payments. Meals per person per month are about $150-200. The tax is 13% of the salary.
It's cheap in general. Fuel, electricity, housing, groceries, and everything else is affordable.
Very expensive, comparing to average salaries in Moscow...
My former colleague living in Moscow, he is cyber security engineer. His salary is ~$3500 (on hand after all tax). At the end of year he also get bonus (so-called 13th salary), it differ and based by results of year ($5000-$10 000). Not so long ago he bought second apartment (rents out).
Russell not so long ago show video from former McDonald, right on door was invite for work for students - $700.
Its very neat but way too smalll for me, I would go crazy living in such a small space.
Russians also have dachas. Actual 🏠 to go to on weekends 😊
And people who rent are usually students or young people who are saving money in order to buy their own apartment in the future. (Usually two or three bedroom apartment 55-90 sq.m.) So it's rational not to waste a lot of money on a rent
снимай или покупай 3-5- 8 комнатную квартиру.
apartments of this type do not exist for life, they are so that you can spend the night yourself, bring a girl and spend the weekend. They are rented by those who do not have housing, who came to work a lot
A very nice apartment for the money.
Hello, Russell! Thanks for the interesting video! However, I think the area of this apartment cannot be 34 square meters. 24 is just right. My apartment is 36 square meters, and I have a hall of about 6 square meters, a separate kitchen of a little more than 8 square meters, a living room of about 17 square meters, and a separate toilet and bath. And a pretty big balcony))
