    It looks very clean and well kept. People are wearing clothes, not shopping in pajamas looking like they just rolled out of bed. I’m also not seeing a sea of blue haired land whales, and I didn’t spot any men in dresses. I also didn’t see any homeless people in tents outside the entrance pandering for money and it doesn’t appear that patrons needs to step over syringes on the sidewalk outside the mall. WAY better than shopping in San Francisco!

      People take a shower every day, wash in the bathroom, they do not save water. Cleanliness is the guarantee of health. And they change clothes every day, do not go dirty and sweaty. In Russia, people don't wear pajamas on the street. Homeless people are also rarely seen on the street. There are social shelters for them, where they are given documents, they are fed and treated free of charge, and they are provided with jobs. In Russia, normal marriages are man + woman. They do not litter on the streets, there are signs so that garbage is thrown into special bins for garbage

      I've been there, it is a beautiful city. The palaces are breathtaking, the Romanov palace is the Hermitage Museum. I was told when I was there, "If one looks at every display or exhibit for only one minute it will take between ten to eleven years to see everything". Catherine the Great's palace has a very large room covered in Amber. The czars had these palace projects mainly to provide work for hundreds of different trades and for national pride. Just this one city is a treat but there are many others though smaller throughout Russia.

    Also worth noting that metro station is relatively new and was constructed a few years after the mall. This is why back door suddenly became front one.
    Another interesting fact that before the opening of CSKA station there was a free shuttle bus to nearest station called Dinamo. And Dinamo is another popular russian soccer team, unresting honorable rival of CSKA soccer team.

      @@gate7clamp After covid, online stores have also developed strongly in Russia. However, not so much that the shops are empty. But there is no problem with theft at all, compared to America. You have very strange rules with respect to robbers. They can literally steal openly, and you only have the right to call the police. In our country, if a thief is noticed, most likely ordinary people will catch him, hand him over to the guards, and only then they will wait for the police.

It looks like people buying mostly online, and soon Shopping Malls will be deserted. The world is changing rapidly to a dull uncommunicative place between humans. Soon we all will be living robots. By now, we get asked on the phone or filling in a form, if we are a human or a robot. 😮Greetings enjoy your shopping.

    Dear Russell, there is another very big shopping mall in Moscow, namely Vegas Mall at Kashirka. Its at the crossroads of MKAD and Kashirskoye Highway, 24th km of the MKAD (Moscow Ring Road) - not too far away from the place you live if you drive east over the outer side of MKAD. Its gross built area is also 400,000 sq m which translated to 4,300,000 sq feet. And this mall is linked with a park of attractions. So maybe one day you'll be interested to make a video of it as well. The only difference between the two malls is that Aviapark lies deep inside the inner city of Moscow, whereas Vegas Mall sits on the outer side of the MKAD.

    I'm a British living just outside Warsaw. I'm married to a lovely Polish lady. I'm astonished. No, astounded by your video. We've been fed total propaganda by the West and Polish media. We're told shops are empty because of sanctions. People are queueing for food. Even fighting for food! What a total load of rubbish. A superb shopping mall. Clean well stocked full of people. Exactly the opposite that we are told here in Poland.

    Gee, I thought Russia was just "a gas station with nukes," or in the words of the late John "Songbird" McCain, "a gas station masquerading as a country." This mall is far nicer and more vibrant than any mall I've seen in the U.S. It's missing a few features common in the freak shows here, like the vacant shops, dilapidation and so-called humans walking around with asses hanging out of their pants. A trip to a mall here is a nauseating and dangerous experience. If I didn't know better, I might begin to doubt what CNN and MSNBC have taught us Americans about Russia. I might even doubt what I've heard about the brilliance and effectiveness of "Shower Daddy" Biden's sanctions campaign against Russia.

It's just that for a long time America and the whole West lived at the expense of the rest of the planet and at the expense of unsecured money printing.
      And now this period is ending. Therefore, those who earn money live better, and those who lived at the expense of others and at the expense of loans (i.e. loans from the future) will live worse. And every year it gets worse and worse. Americans and Europeans are already beginning to feel this in the form of a reduction in production and inflation, and the real consequences are still ahead.
