    I loved your video! I was born in 85 and this reminds me a lot of my grandmothers little house she shared with her mother. It was in the southern US so not exactly the same but the feeling of it reminds me of hers.

    The TV and VCR looks like late 1980s or early 1990s because it didn't have dials. So maybe someone lived in it up until 90s.

    I love seeing how people live in other countries and in different eras. I live in the US and was born in 1970. This looked very much like my grandparents' apartment when i was young. The decor is dated, probably from 1950s through the 70s. When you look at it through the lens of 2024, of course it looks shabby. But I can see how, back in its day, it was considered quite fashionable. I loved the chandelier! ❤ Thanks so much for this glimpse into another time and place! 😊

      why people live in apartments? Because infrastructure .It is central heating in winter, roads. Difficult climate, when snow is up to the second floor and etc. makes it too difficult live at a distance when you need to go to a certain place to work, bring kids to schools , go to hospital. Are you a kid, dont get it?

    Честно говоря, если положить в ванной плитку на пол, поменять унитаз и немножко облагородить мелким косметическим ремонтом-покрасить белой краской окно, батарею,и трубу рядом с унитазом-ванна будет выглядеть лучше многих современных санузлов.

      What exactly? Provide families with decent apartments to live in for free? This apartment has been abandoned for 25 years, and yet it retains a more dignified appearance than many suburban apartments in the big cities of the so-called Western world. Maybe you should take a nice bath of humility and put your washed brain out to dry

      This was a WEALTHY 4-people family home. The normal Soviet people lived in "kommunalka" which means that in every room there lives a family and the bathroom and kitchen are shared. So in this apartment there would have usually been two normal families. So -say 8 or 9 people sharing one toilet. @@GallopingHorse1
