VISITING A TRADITIONAL RUSSIAN HOUSE 2022 - How some people in Russia live. Siberia Travel Vlog 🇷🇺

We are on our way to our aunties. We decided to go a different way this time. We have an obstacle. So most people in Russia live in flats like the ones over there. But Julia's auntie lives in a chastniki or private house. Definitely a lot more work involved than living in a house in Siberia than living in a flat. In a flat you've obviously got hot water, you've got the pipes running directly into the flats and you just pay your bills, your heating, your electric as you would in any house anywhere else. But if you live in a house or a chastniki then most of it's run off with coal so Julia's auntie has to water coal sporadically which she then puts in her fire to heat the house. There's also a lot more work involved. It's really nice in the summer she's got her own garden where she grows vegetables but then in the winter she needs to continuously keep clearing snow whereas if you lived in a flat that would be done by the local council. My auntie keeps the coal and the wood in there. Let's go, I'll show you the garden. Oh no, I'll show you the barn. I'll show you the sauna. I wouldn't go inside to be honest it's really really old and it's actually broken. This is where she washes because she doesn't have a bathroom inside the house and this little bit upstairs, this used to be my little house. I used to have dolls and used to play there and stay over. Come, I'll show you the garden and the toilet. Garden, pretty big. There you see all the neighbours. My auntie restored like some outside of the house. She really needs to do the roof but she can't afford it but the state of it is pretty bad. This is the toilet. Legs like this, face like that. She is a Victoria's Secret model. When everything is ready. Oh, you know how to film. I think the microphone will break soon.
