I lived in East Germany (GDR) and many would say things are definitely better than under socialism (it wasn't communism). I will tell you this: the interpersonal relationships are what I miss the most. The sharing or good things and bad, the sense of community and the unbelievable resilience of the human spirit when faced with daily adversity. I miss the days of Communism/Socialism for things that were good. It is important to never lump the various parts into one pile. Many people my age would gladly go back to having no VCRs, cellphones or internet if we had all the simple things that made us happy living in a managed 'shortage' economy. When I see these videos I get almost homesick for those days of simplicity. In 1989 the East Germans sold their souls and their identity for bananas, western cars and Marlboros. Many of them would go back and change that decision of they could: over 40 years later they are still second-class citizens.

Remark: 80-90 roubles per month was a low-level salary and the pension rent. The college teachers had got 140-160 roubles per month, whereas the factory workers could make 200-250. For comparison, the prices were low. A "brick" of bread (1 pound or 0.5 kilogram) was 0.20 rouble. One kilogram of raw potato was 0.16 rouble. A tram ticket for any distance was 0.03 rubles, a city bus ticket 0.05 rouble. The appartment was free, and the city administration was giving it to new families without pay. Water, gas and electricity were several roubles per month. And yes, the life was so quiet, that the road police wasn't equipped with guns or gummi sticks, only with small 'zebra wands' (painted in white and black) to show direction. Can you imagine this?

I am amazed that the Senior Citizens are treated "this" well- hear me out..They pay no rent or mortgage, utilities are no cost. Here in the Midwest, just those 2 services alone cost me 1400.00 a month. No, I don't have AC either. 2 fans. As far as the bathroom goes, most housing here in American has the shower, toilet and sink in the same room. The kitchen looks adequate to me as well. In the federally subsidized Senior Citizens aparts here in the Midwest, apartments are about the same size with the exception of the bedroom. At 35 sq. ft, I doubt there is a bedroom. All in all, looks OK to me..in fact, I'm willing to bet that anyone in Ukraine thats been bombed would view that apartment as the Taj Mahal. Peace.

I support sanctions! Russia should not be attacking a free country. Ukrainian people are fighting hard they don’t want to live in Russia they want to be free and have their own country. So it should be. I don’t blame Ukrainian people if Russia rolled into the USA every citizen would take up arms and fight back. We all have guns here or can get them. Many women here are good shots as well as men. I don’t blame Ukraine. Americans would do the same thing. On the other hand I do like Russian people so it’s nothing personal at all. Americans would fight to the death to be free. That’s just how it is. Russia is a beautiful country and I love your culture and people. You are free to live under the government you have. If you don’t like it you can fight too. Like all government it has it’s good points and bad I’m sure.

Majority of Russians especially older generation own their own apartment/house, they also have free medicine and taking that education is free too - no financial pressure due to mortgages or consumer loans, the utilities and electricity bills are times lower than in Europe and US and still the government subsidises half of the costs for pensioners. They complain how low their pension is but never mention that it is fully disposable income and all the benefits they get from the state, it may strike you as impossible but in many respects Russian pensioners are richer than their western counterparts. And yes they can both work and receive the pension, and their experience is highly demanded in the labour market (in fact Russia imports a lot of workforce from abroad).

I live on the continent about 9 hours flying away from you. We pay for our quality of life too but we get it! I became ill two years ago and I didn’t have to pay a cent for 3 major surgeries and radiation afterwards. All I paid for was my $5/day contribution to my hospitalization. If I was in the unemployment bracket I wouldn’t have to pay a cent. See, this is what President Obama was trying to give you, yet all you did was complain, reject and threatened. Of course it isn’t perfect here either but it’s very close to perfect. I could go on and on but I think you’ll understand.

I enjoy watching your channel...such positive Vibes! I hope you can do some updates on the "Hermit" man, and when you harvest veggies from garden. I think a cooking vid to show us how you use your garden veggies would be cool. How to make home-made wine too! My sister has tried and tried to do that! ahahhahahaha Thanks for sharing! Bright Blessings!

Yes it's a strange world...old canadians women share some characteristics in the way they live in the religious way maybe...but most retirees womens in canada live in better conditions of living...maybe is in some far away regions it's possible...but not in the cities...the pension is better for the standard of living...most canadians have a better retirement than that...sad to say sorry...it's strange to see how they live in some others countries...it's sad what's happening about ukraine and russians have to understand why...

It’s not too bad, it isn’t huge but then it’s light and airy in the living room compared to many Russian apartments. So many are dark, tatty looking and covered in the typical heavy rugs s on the walls in typical Babushka style. This is pleasant and light and airy and she has her windows onto the balcony to open for fresh air. Loving the little dogs, absolutely adorable.
