- Sanctions against Russia are effective for already 8 years, more and more articles published about how Russia is stuck in time, people, especially in the provincial Russia, have no idea what development is and the Soviet apartments are getting older and older.
Great opportunity that the 21 Century provides is to check many things yourself and that's exactly what I tried to do today. I hope you enjoy this exercise and be sure that, of course, each one of you doing it yourself will get a unique result. But yours :)

Hi all! 4in4 how has Moscow changed in 20 years? czcams.com/video/7cHjX5YcpW8/video.html
Interesting, thanks for the link. As far as I see the channel shows changes in different places in Russia, not just Moscow.
I was just thinking about that channel after watching this video. Those videos are really good and editing might have required a lot of hard work.
Alex. I'm an American in Saratov until late Octobor. I would love to meet you.
@@Zangieff is it Roblox banned in Russia now?
I'm actually glad you showed other countries because the truth is, most people just don't have common sense. Underdevelopment isn't tied to specific countries but more of specific places in a country.
Agree
Greetings from Perm. In 2020, the reconstruction of the city began in honor of the 300th anniversary of the city, which will be in 2023. The city has changed a lot, it is also planned to build another bridge with a length of more than a kilometer.
👍👍
It’s really nice and kinda comforting to see a man like you, spreading some honest information that can be of great influence, especially on the stereotypes that can sometimes be offensive :(
As someone from Serbia, from Belgrade, the capital, Russia is a giant from my perspective in any possible aspect. The cities are so spacious! Commie blocks are, just like here, well organized and of course, with a lot of green 😂 so it really reminds me of home.
I hope you and your family are still doing alright! Best wishes and keep up the good work! ❤️
Thanks ❤️
Thanks for your really interesting and honest content. I have lived in Russia for around 10 years in 4 different cities, plus visiting Moscow several times, as well as a few other towns, apart from that I spent 2 months living in a Russian village near Tula, it was a nice experience. What I noticed is that most Russian vloggers on the internet always say themselves that outside of Moscow and Petersburg, Russia is not developed and not clean. I think this is absolutely incorrect. For example I liked Kazan more than any other city I been to in Russia, I prefer it over Petersburg while I lived for a while, and Moscow, I spent a few years in Tula as well, and yes Tula isn't the greatest city you might like to live in, but it has its own vibe, and most importantly, it is also developing fast, and a lot of beautiful places are appearing each year. I love Russia and would like to travel and discover it all one day.
Recommend to watch Vasya in the hay.
@@mikatimonen5449 Recommend watching Nick Johnson
Sam's Adventures in Russia gives a great perspective from that of a Brit in a medium to small city (Vladimir) in Russia.
yes I agree with you... try visiting downtown Athens and then talk to me about squalor.
Thank you for this informative video which focuses on the current situation in your country. You have been very honest in showing us such great transformation over the years among different places in your city and other places
Thank you for your video, it's very interesting to see how the other side lives but in reality it's about the same. I appreciate your time and effort. 👍👍👍
I have a collection somewhere on one of my old hard drives of interesting pictures that I found when exploring on street view. Lots of random stuff like people hanging out, having a party on the roof.
Street view is one of the best things on the internet in my opinion. The coolest thing I was able to do was explore my grandparents village that they were born in before they came to America. Maybe one day I will be able to visit it.
I think many Russian visit the nice parts of Europe and think we all live the good life.
Thanks for this video. I enjoyed seeing some of the changes over time.
Покажите видео других городов, а то многие считают, что за МКАД жизни нет. Живу в Екатеринбурге, город стал очень красивый, и в Тюмени много красивых мест, а ведь это Урал
I support! I am from Khanty-Mansiysk, the city has changed sooooo much for the better.
Awesome video, thanks for your work !
Speaking about my provincial Russian town, I can say that there are great changes! And we see them every day, because even now the whole town is being renovated and reconstructed💙

Russian mermaid, I totally want to believe you but... You said you live in Volgograd "international known as Stalingrad" which is so hilariously worng that makes me wonder if anything else you said is even remotely correct.
But hey, do a video of those renovations, send me a message here saying it is online and I will grlady watch it!
Very interesting. Thank you.
I lived in Las Vegas. The white dots are lane markers. They are reflective and last longer than paint. They don't get snow as it is desert, and therefore don't have snow plows that would pop them off.
Good job 👏🏻 thank you for your content 🙂
Thanks 😊
Zangieff, this may be an already answered question, but how did you learn to master/command English so very well? Your vocabulary and grammar are excellent buddy! You need a career in translating between Russian & English. You're obviously very well educated. 😎
One thing I noticed, though, is that he says "vice versa" when simply "the other way" or "the opposite" would be the fitting term. Vice versa is two things swapping role.
Having been in and out of Moscow for 20 years, I have seen massive changes, and in many things Moscow is considerably more advanced than many western cities. I have spent some time in regional Russia, and the change may not be so stark, this is also true of every western country. I love Moscow as a city, it is the perfect blend of history, amazing history, and modern infrastructure.
Same as Pyongyang! Moscow is just a show city whilst cities like Kirov are stuck in a time warp.
@Captain Badger that’s not so true as you can see on Vladivostok or Kazan or Ekaterinburg of or example, they didn’t stack in time and it’s not Moscow, so the author of the video was right but you not:)
@@krissdev6301 I don't think putting road markings down over a 10 year period really classes as development.
I agree. 2 times in Moscow so much different.
The never ending need to compare Russia to the mythical 'west' :D The level of insecurity needed is just ridiculous.
This is a great video! Simple, but really informative. Shame, we didn't find Jason Bourne. 😃👍
😂 thanks
Each year, everything looks different and improved in China. New roads, skyscrapers, metro lines, towns, even cities. It's insane.
Not insane considering their number of population and workaholic mentality. They get rebuild a road in two days or smth like that.
great video :)
Zangieff, interesting video! Do you know if the sidewalk lines appear to be made from thin paint or thicker melted plastic? Thermal plastic tends to hold up longer. Weather also impacts the longevity of street surfaces and paint. Since freezing weather is uncommon in TX where I live, concrete is a much more common construction material.
Heard your name mentioned earlier today on another CZcamsr's live stream when you dropped into the comments. I've been worried about you. Seems like you might be getting pressure from family or work about the content on your channel. Good luck to you. You seem like a really nice and really smart guy.
Thanks! Doing fine but all got COVID 🤷♂️ working from home and getting better. At least finally made a video 😂
@@Zangieff Oh no! Covid is terrible. I had it before I got vaccinated but I didn't have to go to the hospital. Take it easy.
Thanks!
Thank you!😊

The dots on the road in Las Vegas are raised pavement markers with reflectors, for safety. So drivers crossing the center over them will feel the bumps.
It looks like you are travelling in time. Nice video
интересно и необычно слушать носителя русского языка, говорящего по - английски ! You are great!
My parents still live on a dirt road in Canada 🤣 the roads in Canada are really bad even in the bigger cities. I liked seeing different places in Russia looks nicer than most places in North America!
That sidewalk slope is known as a Curb Cut :)
Asphalt for small roads is hurting environment more. But of course asphalt roads are more comfortable.
Doing comparative image searches on "potholes berlin", "potholes moscow", .... is also quite interesting.
I believe the white spots in the road you pointed out In Las Vegas are relectors that are mounted in the pavement to help distinguish the lanes while night driving.
The round white or other colored things on the USA roads are reflectors demarking the road center line. Sometimes they have blue ones where there are fire hydrants on the side of the road. All for night visualization....reflection by car headlights.
Thanks! Very interesting
These are very common in the US southwest, but very uncommon anywhere that gets frequent snow in winter. The reason being that snow plows scrape them off.
You just missed me when you zoomed in to Adair, Iowa USA! I was waving!

How does Russia keep their streets and roads free of trash?
Are there steep fines for littering or do Russians just not throw litter out of their cars and trucks?
Nice videos, I got a friend of mine to watch a video from another channel the other day, he was amazed at how much the area looked like The state of Pennsylvania.
no people just like to keep things clean,there are detroit style streets as well ,but not as many as in the west,the problem is usually ith rus roads since alot of politicians were corrupt(no most have been proven to be specifically working on trying to keep russia down by orders of the US.)The good thing that came with the sanctions is no all rats are visible and russia ill have a chance to eliminate em and prosper.
It doesn't matter about development. Things get maintained. The most important thing is if people are living a better life. I love the russian people and if they are happy, healthy, and living well, all is good! Love ya
No doubt that infrastructure within Russia has been improving over the years, all the bloggers I follow show such improvements in their own cities and towns.
Could they get any worst?
You know how they say, the only way is up ...
It looks like there was a decision to only show sunlit photos for newer data. It could be in order to provide good visibility of details, but one could also wonder whether it is meant to make things look nicer in the present compared to the past. In any case the different weather conditions can be misleading. And those photos in Russia often seem to have color 'correction' with cartoonish-vibrant green grass.
at 6:04, you talk of apartments built.
are those state or private built?
Shoul I do something in the settings of the yandex maps to see the panoramas also for other countries as Russia? I wanted to try it out, but in some strange way it works only for Russia in my case.
Cause it mainly operates in Russia 🤷♂️
Nice video
Don't know whether someone answered your query, but if not, those white spots on Las Vegas roads are probably 'cat eyes', reflecting light at night and indicating to stay within your line, something like white lines painted on the road. Hope it helps.
What are the game hunting rules for deer in russias?
It’s interesting that Russia has advanced a lot in a time when lots of countries have stood still or moved backwaters. Thank you again for your videos, it’s so interesting to see this. Russia looks like a nice place, I can’t wait to visit.
Which countries stood still or moved backwaters in you opinion?

You didn't ask me but I have an opinion. The USA, not everywhere of course but the number of homeless increase every year, I doubt there's one major city in the entire US that doesn't have a homeless camp or two.
Canada has the same thing but not as many or as large.
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod the united states, Great Britain, Canada
@@Melkor54 I asked the other guy, not you.
@@bipedalbob well, those are not the best countries to live in, never were... We all now how flawed they are.
I would like to get actual data about homelessness in Russia. After 2011 or something there is no more data but we all have seen homeless people in Russia and they do compete in the world homeless football championship or something... And if they had homeless people, they would be in that competition, would they?

That's the way it was with me also. I'm in the US State of Virginia. I lived in Germany for 7 1/2 years, where unfortunately Google Maps doesn't work. I used to enjoy visiting virtually European cities that I visited in real life. After a while, the novelty wore off. Now I am retired and I never even bothered to get a new passport when the old one expired. Europe isn't what it used to be. Neither is the US, for that matter. By the way, I visited the closed city of Sarov (Arzamas 16) in 2005, which not many Americans have visited.
@@genes.3285 What do you exactly mean by Google Maps does not work in Germany ? It works fine for me but if you are referring to Google Streetview you might not be aware that Google, as an American company, is not allowed by Germany’s Federal Law to use for their commercial purposes photos of streets in residential areas without given consent of the owners of the properties for privacy reasons.
@@Cairol58Street View, yes I know. The Germans have got an obsession about privacy due to their history.
@@genes.3285 In what way if I may ask? 🙂
as of asphalt, it’s a big difference to built a road in California and in Toronto. Freeze, snow, ice.
Zangieff,
check out Roanoke, Virginia, USA, or the town i live in Pulaski,Virginia, USA. might be interesting.
That was a cool feature of Yandex maps that you could go into buildings like at 3:41. I don't think that is on the google maps.
Yep, though I got there accidentally 😅 not sure there’s a way to separate indoor panoramic views from outdoor ones
Interesting.
What’s happening with areas that were made up with Khruschchyovka apartment buildings? These would be in prime locations closer to the centre of the cities however being constructed quickly and to a budget and 60+ years old they must be coming to the end of their life. Are they being demolished and a new development taking place on the site? If they are being demolished is it happening in a random building by building way or are whole clusters of these blocks being redeveloped at once.
I have lived all my life in Montreal , and trust me when I say that things aren't looking that better when we pay attention to the condition of our roads. Winter is making our roads age very fast and the constant work being done on the infrastructures underneath is only making the problem worst. On the plus side , a fair portion of an old borough south of downtown has been rebuilt with a lot of condo complexes , but I wonder how that area is going to age in comparison to other neighborhoods and other cities.
What about the quality of your houses? I just know Toronto and as far as I know, housing there is far much better than in Russia
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod Montreal's housing is somewhere in between Toronto's and Russia's. The Montreal metropolitan area is mostly made up of two categories of homes. Old traditional buildings made with a concrete base , wooden frame and finished with plaster inside and bricks or aluminum panels outside. And newer constructions made up entirely of concrete , with plaster inside and either brick or concrete panels with big windows for the outside. Cost of living in the older buildings is usually under 1000$ per month , while newer constructions cost well over 1500$. We have to take in account that electricity is often not included in the older buildings , and winter being what it is , we can easily pay another 100+$ on average per month for that. On the other hand , condo buildings can have some other benefits included but those always come with an added cost in the form of monthly fees. Which boils down to how much we are earning , and willing to spend on housing. This equation is always changing , but a line is deepening between those two main categories at the moment.
Just checked out Ivan . You was there. I'll your CZcams out... hello from USA 🇺🇸
2:59 "Russian apartment of Benjamin Button" lol
Interesting and good to see lots of developments. Henry Kissinger for one believes a tremendous gap developed between standards in Russia and the rest of the world. I visited St. Petersburg in 2015 and it appeared most people were using used iPhones purchased used. However just about everything looked better than what would be found in the West. The airport appeared to be cut off from international travelers and tremendously underused. My connection flight through Copenhagen the government security unofficially challenged me as to why I would go to Russia as if it was off-limits.
Could you talk to some of the older people and what they have seen and what has changed, just in technology or home life would be neat.
Also In Yandex maps much easier specified roads, entrances, building than on the Google maps.
9:15 "A lot of...Ninja Turtle houses" 😭😂
Привет my Russian friend from Moscow 🙂. Interesting aspect for your video and I guess I understood the message you are trying to convey to the audience in support of the achievements of your „President“ as you tried before 🤔. Thankfully here in most parts of Europe we do not evaluate progress of a society simply on the quality of tarmac and things like that.
If you are interested you can search in the comments to your video my answer to another post why for example in the country where I live you perhaps may not find as many street views as in other countries. But from previous occasions I also do know you won’t bother 😅.
As always I am open to discuss such matters with you directly (which we did last year) if you feel like it again. 😎
I would like to understand the mass exodus of Germans from Germany to Russia. Channel Leben in Russland or "Из Германии в Россию"(from Germany to Russia).
@@giggling_boatswain What would you like to understand about? Wikipedia is your friend to mention just one source. 🙂
But here in brief what it was: With mostly British support the Russian Empress (“Tsarina”) Catherine II “the Great” (Russian Екатерина Алексеевна Романова), born German princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, expanded the Russian Empire immensely by for example conquering and colonising massive territories along the coasts of the Black and Azov Seas. Other territories were further parts of Siberia, the Far East, Alaska to name a few.
Her reign is known as the “Golden Catherine Period” as it was very prosperous and attracting many foreigners from Europe to make a new life in Russia. During her reign Russia was recognised as one of the great powers of Europe.
Those southern territories (including Crimea) were known as “Novorossiya”, a term likely to be reused today by the new Russian Tsar “Vladimir the Short”. As a very educated person in her time Catherine colonised these territories by inviting mainly willing Germans granting them free choice of faith, free land, non or very low taxation, exemption from military service and other rights. All unseen in European history before, making it a very tempting offer for people neglected those things in their countries of origin.
One way to have progress is to
OverHeat everything!
LoL, here in Bulgaria the roads are terrible 🤣
Hoi Zangieff, could you give a couple of links for job sites equivalent to Indeed, Monster etc and flat/house rental sites? I would be curious, as the level of disgust towards western politicians is growing by the day.
I still might just move back to Hungary.

*sigh* And google chose to blur out street view imagery captured at 39 Main St Haralson Ga from about 2016. You would have once seen (under the blur) two women, (one with dyed red hair), and a black man each sporting an AR-15, a Baseball bat, and massive revolver, and maybe an oversized manchette emerging from a barn, watching in a kind of stunned fashion the Google street-view car drive by... yet this "scene" is totally legit. Guessing it was "The Walking Dead" 2nd unit crews prepping up for a scene for the day. But it's also a good area to view the mix of rural suburbia of the USA, where the old and new co-exist.
I’d love to visit some bigger cities such as Moscow, but I’d love to move to a smaller city for a few years!
Tombov looks like LA. Amazing.
Wow love how beautiful moscow city is
The only place that looks the same as 100 years ago is the cabin in the woods of our good friend Sergay. We have no news about him, maybe "baldie" finally came to rescue him and now he's happy
A lot of "ninja turtle" houses. 😂 Good one.
Can you please show the city of
Tsarevokokshaisk in Kazan region.
From what I've seen they really invested in an old historic city look even though none of the buildings are based on historicity.
A newly developed city that looks hundreds of years old
Hmm. Never heard of yandex. Another search engine I can try
At 18:40 the white and yellow things you see there in US roads are actually reflectors.. Kinda like on back of a car, truck or even a bike..They are harden but they glow at night..
I use to sit back on google maps and look at other parts of the world.. would dream of walking a road and such.. And i learned something as a truck driver from USA.. It is not necessarily development when you look at things like pavement on roads.. In some cases and many here, it is refurbishment.. Budgeting infrastructure like this is normally done by state and local taxes here.. In many ways we will actually mill up an entire road and lay a new one.. In some we just patch or lay a few more inches of pavement.. And much of this also depends on how much use a road gets, vs things like winter use when big plows comes in and damage them.. And with as much traffic that US has we are constantly having to repair or build new roads.. Mass transit is not as popular here..
i like your channel and much of its content.. Hope you and your family stay healthy and well..
I’ve always beeen curious about the development of Russia as an urban planning graduate. Everything seemed out dated to me, however, they seemed to not have issues with providing housing. I watched your apartment tour video, and I guess I always assumed that was public housing. Is there a large homeless population? Or is there a lot of housing availability in Russia? I’m the US, there is a huge problem with homelessness and Even the availability of housing.
I don’t know what the statistics are with the homeless and beggars, but for example, now you need to try to find them on the street, maybe at night or at train stations. As a child, I remember seeing a little more of them, this is about 15 years ago. And as for housing: different companies build houses and residential areas every year, well, a lot, in my opinion. Another thing is that the cost of housing is not small, so many new buildings are still not fully occupied. 🤷♀️
Visiting this place is a travel in time ... backwards. Seriously, like 20% at don't even have an inhouse toilet.
Ha ha, Road Policeman = = = Speed Bump ..
Also, if we don't like a person, we call them a speed bump.
In Canada, Turdeau is a speed bump.
To be more accurate, in Russia speed bump is usually called "recumbent policeman"
ZANGIEFF PLEASE READ: Hello I've been a huge fan of yours for a long time now I have watched most of if not all of your videos and you are a wonderful CZcamsr. My family is from Russia but unfortunately they are no longer with us. Me and my wife have been learning Russian for the past year. We are still not very fluent but we are trying our best. Me and my wife both have been highly considering moving to Russia. However us both being young adults we have questions and concerns. The only thing stopping us is the questions we have. I would love to speak to someone who is actually living there and have a conversation before we make our final decision. If there's any way possible you could contact me I would be forever grateful for it. I hope this message finds you and you have the time to reach out.

Where do you live now?
i have a friend of mine who moved to Russia from Texas last year. i guess i can get in touch to get some insight from his experience

As long as Russia's economy has this stratification, that is, of a country that has 70% of its income from raw material exports. The image of most of its cities will be that of a developing rather than a developed country. The economy is what pulls everything forward. If you have an economy based on new technologies, in the machine and machinery manufacturing industry, in microelectronics, in renewable energy sources. All these are examples of a developed country.
Aussie and new zealand are developed countries , yet their machinery or tech industries are not the the base of their economy. Services, mining and agriculture make up their economy.
Does Russia have the same ambitions as New Zealand? Does it have the same global footprint? I am talking comparing Russia with countries like the USA, China, Germany, France, England, Japan, S. Korea, it cannot be compared with protectorate states. You can't be considered a superpower if you aren't also a technological superpower.
@@katerosk Yes ,yes it does,Russia supplies 70% of the world and the only reason people don't count it as a super power is a busted pro US gdp system which can be manipulated via taxation.
@@katerosk As for technological super power lets see:Mendeleev table(periodic),first man in space,US using rus to get into space so far without russian tech and specialists 4 failed attempts,the most modernised hypersonic weapons with the only system in the world that can counter hypersonics,the icbm and subs they recently released.Yeah I think Russia is more than a superpower at this point.
@@katerosk IF in your first comment you said "developed superpower countries", then I agree with you. But in your first comment you only mention "developed country" ( you didn't mention superpower) and the kinds of industries are needed to be the base of a developed country which aussie and NZ don't have.
Now you can do video about homelessness in Los Angeles vs Moscow. It's going to be a hit!
Well, in Russia homeless usually won't survive through the winter, so the numbers are likely to be low. Also, tens of millions of Russians live worse than hobos in the west. Would you count them in, or not?
It would be quite hard to put together comparable stats.
It might be more suitable to compare Russia to Bolivia, Zimbabwe or Kazakhstan rather than western countries.
@@NeuroScientician Zimbabwe, Bolivia?? really?? You make yourself look like a fool lol.
@@LegendNinja41 Russia is a poor country with no healthcare, social system, half of Russians don't even have a toilet or shower in the house. Outside of Moscow people make around $2,000 a year food costs the same as in the US but clothes and eletrocica cost more than in the west.
It's a shit place to live in. Why are you comparing it to USA or EU, it's not the same league.
Russia should really be compared to countries like Bolivia, Argentina, Venezuela. These companies got much closer living standard.
You might think lightly of the quality of those provincial roads, but they are far better than the roads in the capital city of my homeland of Québec. Yet we are richer with similar climate. Russia is not doing badly from my point of view.
It all depends on the money. All countries are the same 😊
Moscow definitely high quality city & huge.
Zagreb is in Croatia ;)
lol I really have no idea why I said Slovenia
You call the yellow bumps on the road “police something?”, in the US, we call them “speed bumps”. 😄
In fact, if literally translate, how people are calling this things, would be: "lying down policeman" ))
@@ANGELBRIGHTLIVE 😂
Do most Russians live in apartments
given the mentality of a lot of people (not all), I guess not... 2022 USSR still
It looks far BETTER than many places in EU, especially in the South, not to mention Eastern Europe.
And where it looks better here, you can BET the prices are too high for any average family to live.
That's something Russians don't realize about EU. The "good parts" are for tourists and wealthy. Visit the Paris slums, if you dare, and then complain about Russia.
But yes, it looks super clean and probably ten times cheaper to live there than here.
Привет, как дела кошки?
I think no， besides salary.
if you can say parts of Russia is stuck in time, is just the same thing as saying that parts of Canada is stuck in time. Looking at Moscow but it looks more and more like parts of Canada. Sorry
Ninja turtle houses lol
Appreciate your effort in showing the progress in Russia. Thank you
russian progress is a history now
I think it was really stuck in 1950 before the end of USSR, then it has moved in big cities principally, and the general equipment of the whole thing has moved a bit but not the same in every domaine and some domaine are still not good. And I have seen that some people still think like in 1950.
I have heard that your water distribution is really bad, like you can't even drink the water which is very weird for a modern country (but I have never known that in 56 years, so it's not new), and people don't even have any clue of what mineral water really is. So your water seems to be a big issue.
Some places change faster than others but I don't know places too much in the past unless it was already beautiful then. Montpellier (about 350 000 people) where I live, change very very fast, of course not every areas.
For example I am from Dijon where à spent 24 years, it didn't change that much in 50 years but it already was nice and charming, but still didn't grow up much. Montpellier has changed more in 10 years than Dijon in 50. Some areas have always more than 10 cranes in function constantly (not exactly in the same place of course.)
Since 1998 we have upgraded the airport 3 times, built 4 big lines of Tram and the 5th is in progress. We expended a lot the city, build new areas all around, new stations, a new city hall, new schools, new hospital, new clinics, some buildings are made by big architects from all around the world. In the very center you can't see that much because it's medieval and from early 1900 end 1800 (you don't touch that, it has a style), here the only change are trees, pavement, lights, decorations.
We have internet by fiber up to 2gb/s down, and 600mb/s up. 5G in all the city and metropole area and even further otherwise when it's not 5g it's 4g anywhere else, LED lights in all the city. Good water (but nothing special here it's normal).
About the country we have built a lot of high speed trains lines, up to 320km/h and it goes even in Spain now. Phone cover (mobile) is good, internet good too when we are talking about cities (not lost areas I guess). Occitanie region has a lot of electric chargers for cars and still increasing. You can drink water everywhere on tap (but since always). Lots of roads, highways, trains, bikes, planes.
Here the old places are mostly charming, from the old age, like several centuries... all in stones. A lot of villages didn't change that much but it is the reason why people want to see it. It doesn't give the feeling of something outdated, it gives the feeling of something specials, charming, historical, like in a movie, not something with bad feeling.
We also have some places built in the hurry in the 70th or 60th. Some have been destroyed, some have been upgraded, some not that much, but it's not allowed anymore and it tends to be replaced by better things after a while. But it's not as widespread than in Russia and do not give the same feeling either, those areas are not that bad compared to USSR cities. And I heard that quality built even in newer building is better here.
And most of all, change is not just about changing, it's about how good it's done, and when it's necessary. Some areas need change because they are just awful, some are new, and some don't need change that much because it's already beautiful, those just need to be cared of to keep them good.

My deepest condolences to the sincere and honest people in Russia, not the Putinists (!!!), who suffered a great loss today. 😟 The world has suffered a great loss! … Rest in peace Mikhail Gorbachev.
PS. This message will not be repeated upon the future news of the death of the current Russian tyrant!
Get out! we're celebrating! Marked dead. Glass earth!
@@littlemy2809 Haha, just to keep you celebrating and laughing:
Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behaviour. So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender:
-Is Crimea ours? -Yes, it is.
-And the Donbas? -Also ours.
-And Kyiv?
-We got that too.
Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks: -Thanks, how much do I owe you? -5 Euros.
