As a russian I just want to note 2 things: 1. russian women are rarely so awful looking, even in small cities; 2. notice ugly house on photo #7 (Sotsgorod) - people in Russia often spend 20 years of their lives just to buy small box in ugly house like this, to own it and call it "home". Most of russians don't even consider renting.
- _delirium 11y agoI thought the Sotsgorod photo looked surprisingly Western European! Reminds me of the apartment a friend lives in in Copenhagen. Maybe a more recent paint-job on the Danish version, but otherwise similar architecture.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoTo add more context: Many people inherit flats since most of apartments are owned, therefore your grannies and uncles are all proud owners. If there's nothing to inherit, you're screwed. People do rent, but since apartments are all individually owned, you need to rent from single apartment owner at market price and cater to your landlord individual quirks. Many of those buildings are near their official expiry date and it's kind non-obvious what happens when they begin to crumble.
- niccolop 11y agoYes, they have certainly focused on what seem like the most negative parts to accentuate their point.
