Imagine if the spider breaks 💀💀

Very informative video. We should be able to support you through Patreon.

Good luck with all the future videos - you have to be careful, absolutely right, with all the censorship and limitations in place in the current period. I hope conditions in Russia will improve although how this will happen, does not seem clear at present. Greetings from Varna, Bulgaria!

Why take so much break between two videos?

In winter it might be interesting to go over the layers of clothes used and as its so cold how people manage when in a shopping mall, like do you carry heavy clothes around. A lot of 1960s apartments here get torn down. Its easier than fixing them up. Better building methods now. Some were a lot worse than soviet era buildings. Like a leak in the top flat went through all ceilings.

Cooking is a good idea!

It is so very good to see you. Rather than attempt cooking from our countries, I would like to see cooking from Russia and your family. I was thinking a few days ago that I would attempt your coffee recipe so thank you for showing your coffee. I checked on you today because our TV show called 60 minutes was talking about Russian citizens and some of their current struggles. I panicked and checked on you and here you are. Take special care of yourself. I also enjoy your travel, gardening, shopping and other such videos. I live in the US and we are having many problems here so I am so glad you don’t post political videos. We have plenty of that here and it’s not good. lol. Be well.

still looks better than wholefoods and smiths.

Heart From Stalingrad ❤🎉😊Привет Ksenia!!

6% of 2 mil USD is about 120.000 USD vs 13% of 50.000 rubles which is about 5700 rubles,around 67 USD. There for, a rich person pays a lot more taxes. The thing is if Russsia will increase taxes by a lot a lot of rich people have options to pay zero tax by offshores and this is not going to be good for the economy overall. What I can agree with you is this: people with low salaries should not be paying taxes.

So happy to see you🙏💕

Hello, will you move to Bulgaria? 😄

As an outsider, who came to Russia only recently (well, aside from three days spent in Moscow two years ago, but can't say I saw much then, aside from visiting the place from which the Cat took the tram...😻), I visited Sankt Peterburg for three days, four weeks ago and ran away, since it was *so full of people!!* All *running around* all the time!! I am *a Snail🐌,* I believe in *slowing Humanity **_down,_* I went South, happened upon *Velikiy Novgorod* and fell inLove with it at once.😍🤩😍🤩❤❤ I do not know, is it _"two",_ or _"three"?_ And how about my beLoved ❤Babruysk❤, is it _"three",_ or _"two"?_ And, as for _"Russia number Four"_ = well, *these* just happened to be *THE Very Areas,* which I wish to visit *the most:* Pyatigorsk... The Altai Mountains... You know, with a better marketing, these can become *top* tourist destinations!! Kick the outdated alps out of the global list of the most davourite mountain tourism, replacing it with the Altai and the Кавказ!! It Can Be Done. And *same* goes for the dying places along the Arctic coast, too: let *them* replace scandinavia... *I L❤VE Russia and its Culture, and believe in its high potential.* When will *the Russians* start believe in *Themselves?*

Love your videos.

So interesting!! 😮😃 I remember, when I just came to ❤Belarus❤ last Summer, and at the Hotel she told me that from the 10th until the 22nd of August (I think) there will not be hot water - I asked, do you mean in my room?? Or at the entire Hotel? And then, she told me "no, in the entire neighbourhood!" I was stunned!! 😃 As, in israel, suuch things are either at the specific apartment, or (at the most!) at the single building level, but the municipality has got nothing to do with it. The things that regard the common property are at the building level, and are cared for by _"Va'ad haBayith"_ (Hebrew: "The House' Committee"), which includes two or three of the (apartment owning) neighbours, who volunteered (usually after being coerced into it by all other neighbours...🙃) to deal witjh these things,, at least until they can shove that responsibility onto _another_ neighbour LOL And, of course, each of the neighbours must pay them a certain tax, in order to support the maintainance of the building (garden, elevator, roof, staircase-cleaning etc.), which of course means a large chunk of the _Va'ad's_ members responsibility (the one they despise most of all, of course) is to chase each of their neighbours, in demand for them to _finally_ pay up the money they still owe since last year's February, or something... 😂 I'd never actually thought it can be so different elsewhere. 🙂

Would You like to make a Vegan cooking vid together?

Hi, I just found out about your channel today, a very interesting one. I am now in ❤Russia🇷🇺❤️ (Lovely Velikiy Novgorod) and really like it, however my Heart totally belongs to ❤Belarus🇧🇾❤️ (especially ❤Babruysk❤). However, being a (former - never going back...) israeli, I can tell You: Shaqshuqa, it was not. 😃 It was sonething else entirely LOL Oh, and You look Great also with no makeup whatsoever. 😻

There is sth like aluminium foild, kind of insulation you can use behind the radiator to keep the heat inside.

If it's true, the number of homeless people in Russia is 130,000.Surely you can prove it with videos of people living under bridges . Considering the number of apartments built during the Soviet Union(Right to housing), many apartments were even abandoned in small cities in Russia due to the decline in population. 11.000 Makes more sense . If you want to see what real homelessness is like please come to new york or Mumbai India. And see the truth

Can you buy a small heater to add to the warmth? In America they sell tiny heaters that plug into the wall and stays on the wall. I bought one for 20.00 and it heats a room quickly.

As ideas for future videos, you could mention how your friends feel or if you feel a different atmosphere in the streets. Do you know people who have gone to the army and participated in the SMO...

I am sure it works the same there as it does in the US. They get a bid for the work and take the cheapest one. Then you get what they give you. At least the part that you have to repair is an easy fix and should not take your brother long to fix. Those radiators look nice but I guess we will see if it helps with your heating and the cost of heating your apartment. By the way, I thought all Russians were cold-blooded due to the location of your country. We are waiting for the update from the repair, thank you for the tour...

You can put a reflektive foile behind the Radiator and put some small ventilators under it for more airflow. You can masking the hole pipe with Isolation Material for a good Look and moor effectivity. Your can buy a foile from tesa called tesa Mole for Your Windows. Installation is easy. You can save about 10 to 15% of Energy. And you can create Content for Your channal. You are a Candel glowing in the dark. 🤗

It is a lovely space! I hope you share your updates when you complete them. I have been watching another Russian creator who was in Moscow. He said the bottom floors are usually shops in Moscow. Is this a common thing in your area as well?

It's lovely to see your update

Ksenija bring your curtains all the way up to the ceiling and cover the pipes from the start of the wall on both sides..just an idea.

I would like to see you go to a thrift store/second hand store and find some treasures and video that. You have a beautiful apartment, how about some pictures on your walls? How about a video going to an open market and shopping for fresh produce, for the recipe that you picked to make from my state.....Virginia, USA. I challenge you on that, lets go :). You can do it!

You could hang ceiling to floor insulated curtains on the walls. It would help keep the heat in. And one thing that might help is to use those rubber floor tiles, they fit together like a puzzle, sometimes used in play rooms, but they come in different colors. Tent campers use them under an air mattress to keep the cold air from coming up through the mattress. And wall to wall carpets over those.

Is that external brickwork behind the heater? If so no wonder you are feeling the cold. In the 1960’s in Australia they did not insulate buildings, they do now and it definitely makes a difference. Temperatures where I live range between minus 2 to a max of 47.5 .

Install ceiling fans in all rooms to blow theat down towards the floor and buy a couple small ceramic heaters. If that doesn't fix your problem completely then you'll have to get you a man to snuggle up to.

:) Hello Ksenia, it was good to see you again in a new video! Can I share my personal experience with you about something really great about heating? I have heard about this stuff from the wall painter that redecorated our apartment a year ago. We had - still have - old but good working iron radiators. The walls behind them were very ugly as compared to the lovely new painting and dismantling them would have been too difficult, so the painter master suggested to put this special thing on the walls behind each radiator. I do not know its English name but I will send you a link where you can see it - it is in Hungarian but you will see the photo. Here in Hungary, we can buy this stuff in rolls - and he easily glued them on the walls behind the radiators with a special glue. This layer reflects back the heat from the radiators towards the rooms - and our apartment is super warm in winter, though the building itself was built in the 1970s and the outside has never been updated. It made his work a lot easier because he did not have to dismantle the radiators, he did not have to repair the walls - he covered it with this stuff, it is barely visible and its effect is super great, especially under the windows. Even right under the windows, the air is very pleasantly warm. This is it: hazravalo.hu/HUFOL_1-5-6 and another link: ledsziget.hu/Hotukros-Polifoam-5mm?.hu&

Your brother is probably going to do this but just in case I'll mention it. While the radiators are removed take the wall behind them apart and insulate the wall then plaster or dry wall over that. Good video. Its always good to hear from you. Best wishes from Canada.

Hi Kesenia, just do the best you can with what you have😍😘

Thank you for sharing Ksenyia! Stay safe! Much respect and peace from the Republic of Ireland.....By the way, i love your channel..Always interesting for me! 👍🇮🇪🍻

Hi Xenia, I was very happy to see you. Before anything else, I am sorry to hear about your mom. Also, please try to buy computer glasses, even if your eyes are perfect. Those glasses filter the Ultra Violet radiation coming from the monitor, which is why you are so tired. Another thing, try to learn about Crypto. Do not invest yet, but learn about it. Good luck.

Nice to see you again. I haven't seen any of your streams in a while.😊

Are you able to sell your apartment and buy another one in the middle of the building? I don’t know how difficult that would be.

Your vertical pipes appear to be mounted to reduce noise from vibration. Box those in or put a cardboard tube around them. Take photos of everything you cover so that you will know what has to be removed if there is a problem.

Hi Ksenia, so nice to see you again! Usually, where you own part of the building you live in (your flat or apartment), it's called a Sectional Title Deed (in other words you own your portion of the building). You can, because you own your portion of the building, normally do anything you want inside your four walls as long it's not going to cause structural damage (like moving a load bearing wall). You must just ensure that your insulation is on the INSIDE of your apartment and not on the outside. The outside of the building must look the same everywhere and any changes has to come with the consent of the Body Corporate (or Buiding Adminstrators as you call them). The costs for outside and structural changes like te Radiators) normally comes out of the Levy Fee (or building administration fee). So if you want to put insulation on the INSIDE of your apartment and it's not going to cause structural damage, you can do that. I mean,you can paint your walls, laminate or carpet your floors, change your kitchen and bathroom (all of this is part of your Sectional Title Deed Ownership), so why shouldn't you be able to insulate your wall on the INSIDE of your Apartment? I would suggest that you talk to a person legally qualified to deal with Sectional or Portional, or Condo (whatever you call it) and just make sure of your rights as the owner of your Apartment. 🇿🇦

So good to see you again! Those renovations look similar to repairs done in condominium apartments here in the US. And we have the same problems too, such as not repairing the walls & having exposed pipework too. Best wishes!

Good to see you haven.t been seeing your videos, I was worried!

Please sand your Instagram id

Hi Ksenia, 😊. I would definitely paint the pipes.

If your installed heating is inadequate, perhaps you could buy an electric heater, say a fan heater, or two to boost the heating in your apartment. Just a suggestion. Of course, that would mean using more electricity and higher electric bills.

Missed you!

It’s dangerous to have those curtains in front of the radiator. Please be careful!😊
