Love how many of these 1960s/70s Soviet blocks retain all their old lifts. Meanwhile in Singapore the government has replaced all of such lifts from the 60s/70s that are mostly original.
Elevator Filmer SG Goverment doesn’t want money.
sike they do
Those old Soviet lifts are pretty eerie
Wow it's so amazing! I can't wait for part 2! Greetings from your transit country of this adventure :P
Ahh, Kharkiv. Epic and beautiful city... But for me it will always be more known as the name of my elevator brand.
WizzAir flies to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Montenegro, and the UAE from Hungary.
eVisa is required for British citizens to go to Azerbaijan.
You have to get in a Soviet motor room. Learn to lock pick or something like that.
Jesus even I was scared for you in those soviet lifts. You just know they were built by cabbage farmers
umm. They weren't
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says soviet.
Soviet fire exits always locked? Sounds about right
"So if you want to enjoy Ukraine, go and visit it now"
Welp. I guess I'll die. :D
3:03 Why is it modernized? It is a new apartment building..
9:49 woah, these lifts are totally amazing
12:36 This elevator is non-soviet, it's OTIS Europa 2000.
The lift at 12:36 is a refurbished Soviet lift. It is still relay controlled (and works as a set with the other original soviet lift) and has soviet door motors. The only thing changed is the cab is refurbished.
@@benolifts woah, that's nice! In Vladivostok we have only a few number of OTIS Europa lifts
3:00 - this is not ''Modernized soviet block'', it is new house, built several years ago, and lift inside it is not ''modernized soviet'' of course
This building is part of the same block as the first one. Some parts refurbished and some parts original. On the roof the non rendered brickwork can still be seen.
3:20 that lifts is still very old beno, trust me
0:30 looks like a palace
1:38 wow that's a fairly big gap in the doors
3:25 What is the point in it guess they cba to find a correct size door
Was it actually apple juice???
Those soviet lifts, their shaftwalls seem so thick! Like half a meter of distance from the wall surface to the door. I wonder if they really are that thick or if they just wrapped the wall around the corner. Everything looks like the 1960’s Mission Impossible episodes in style. Have almost completed watching the complete 7 season dvd box. That renovated soviet block looks fancy on the street side but ontop of the roof it’s all bare calcium silicate masonry units which are used for structural walls.
How well built would you say the soviet blocks are. Most of them the bricks look like they are all over the place and not aligned to make a smooth finish.
Beno structurally they look reasonbly sound, the white calcium silicate blocks are quite common. They look like white bricks but it’s not a ceramic product but a man-man type of lime/sand stone that’s quite strong. In the netherlands and germany it’s a popular material for erecting the load bearing walls of a house. Soviet buildings also made good use of precast concrete, the prestressed hollow floors that they used are still common today are actually pretty good in general. The house I live in has hollow core floors as well. The in-situ concrete of those soviet buildings look krusty to me, not of particulairy high standard in terms of mix and aggregate use. But not too different from western made concrete from the same time period. I’ve seen some horribly made concrete from a building in the netherlands that where built in the 1950’s that was poorly executed with rough formwork and way to coarse aggregate in it. Some of it was falling apart and was cracking and I could rip off bits with my hands as the rebar was heavily corroded due to it beeing in a basement under a block of flats.... I reckon the soviet buildings are not the healthiest in terms comfort and mildew problems.
that building on 3:00 is actually not renovated -- it is completely new. Yes, we still build these shitty human formicaries in XXI century -.-"
This is now a historical archive video…hon much of this survives?
4:55 that hotel had a missile strike today
What about the Metro?
I've stayed at Hotel Mir, also disappointed at it's lack of Sovietness! Though it was certainly creepy at night!
Metro may be in part 2
it’s a separate video
why do soviet lifts have such a bad leveling?
1:18 KMZ lifts
Karacharovsky Mechanical factory (Карачаровский механический завод)
I love ryanair
The dad thing is everything in this video has been damaged or destroyed
1.27 like a horror movie!
Who else thought that was a Rolling Stones logo at 15:09
Why didn’t you surf a soviet lift?
I haven't managed to get on top of one
Damn in like 50 years completely everything is demolished in these countries
The lift in 5:12 is a Turkish generic, these fixtures are very common in Turkey and they are so boring
Hi beno! Your videos are not recommended to me anymore on RUclips... How annoying! I will use the bell icon then.
Cheers!!!
Go to Odessa, Ukraine
