  9. Average median monthly salary is ~500$ or less. Cheapest apartment would be ~20.000 usd. (It depends on the region you might find something cheaper)

  10. 65% of people hare live in apartment buildings. Old, new, 5 floors, 10 floors, 20 floors... We do have individual houses as well. And do have suburbs. Almost outside of every city.

  11. According to the local government. You can drink it. In really not so much.

  12. Most landlords here are not business men. They regular people who inherit or bought an extra apartment. Also people who rent such apartments would not be able to buy new stuff otherwise. When you pay 157$ for the apartment and your monthly income is 350$...

  27. Soviet apartment are not just soviet apartment. They separated from eachother and usually named after ruler that was in the office during their creation. There are Stalinist buildings. Big luxerious and have 3-4 meters high rooms. This particular building we see in the video is Khrushchevka. Building supposed to be a temporary housing solution but because permanent. They were cheap to build and created with maximum efficiency in mind. They have very small kitchens as you can see.
