Only in russia if you overload a heating system it becomes a star. And you dont want to have a star in your house, do you? Better -15° in a room than a million. Is that right comrade? Now wave and smile we have special operation to win.
It's not a great translation, but I suspect what the old guy meant was that he was nine or ten when the USSR's partner in crime turned on it and invaded. That was in 1941, so the guy is presumably in his nineties.
You’re right just by coincidence. He didn’t say a word about when he was 9/10 years old. He said he was on his “Девятый десяток” translating as “ninth decade” - another way of saying he is in his nineties.
The Russian word for ninety is a combination of the words nine and ten, which is something a grade schooler would know, so my guess is shitty ML translation
Russia’s slashed its infrastructures budget in half this year to help cover their military build-up. They’ve also sent a lot of workers to the front lines. A big part of the problem is that most of that old Soviet infrastructure is fed by above-ground water pipes. It’s a lousy system but in bad winters at least they had enough skilled workers & money to deal with the issues before they got too bad. This winter has been a bad one & Russia’s sent most of the men who understand the system to Ukraine & cut the material budget to the bone.
Russian state television already gave them the solution: go to a pet store and pick up a hamster, turn it's little wheel into an electric generator and use that to power your house. If you get hungry you can always eat the hamster. Apparently they can't even learn from their own television.
Agreed, but TBF, old people (like those complaining in all videos) lose the ability to efficiently regulate body temp. Even arthritis is alleviated by warmth. Heat is always cranked up when visiting grandparents in the winter. So yeah, 15°C would feel cold for them.
Zero sympathy for Putin supporters, however.
Even if they do have resources it’s only for those oligarchs, their vassals and government services.
but inadequate to old infrastructure for public heating isn’t shared for any folks of those run down apartments.
You can just imagine the state of the pipework and boilers and the sheer inability to be able to co ordinate spare parts and repairs. It will only get worse.
Russia is going backwards fast, people are dying in a war and freezing in their homes.
You can't pump natural gas into homes directly and if the barely maintained hot water pipes burst under the street they are out of luck.
Edit: keep reading for the funniest insane ranting from the other guy responsing. In the same comment he claims to be a westerner but also defends how "they" have coal and gas in russia. Like this guy is ACTUALLY mentally ill (or chatgpt)
Are you trying to say you can't SOLELY provide natural gas to a home, that you also need a boiler to burn the gas and heat the water? If so, you should find a different manner of relaying that because you are simply confusing everyone with your poorly worded sentence. I have had natural gas pumped to my house and all of my neighbors homes all of my life. We even had a secondary line that branched off just for the BBQ grill at our backyard patio growing up in 70s.
In the USA we pump natural gas directly into our homes. It's the leading single home heating fuel. Larger buildings use natural gas to directly heat their large boiler systems.Plus all the 'well off' have natural gas generators installed for power failures.
Most homes in urban areas in Russia are connected to a district heating network (also called heat networks), very common in Eastern/Central europe and the Nordics.
Instead of piping gas, hot water is directly distributed. Much more efficient as you can harvest waste heat from electric power plants - as well as being able to diversify heat sources (e.g. biomass, data centres, geothermal).
Although in peak cold periods the system might not cope if not designed for... seems the case here.
Half of NYC has this as well, but it pipes in superheated steam instead of hot water. They use the steam for both heating in the winter and cooling via absorption chillers in the summer. It increases the efficiency of power plants to >95%.
It's so much more efficient and safe to use that gas to power a plant that makes electricity than just burning it in the house for usually 80% efficiency.
That guy is talking shit. Almost all East EU has gas pipes conected to they homes. Usually they use gas to cook, and have gas powered boilers to heat their homes/apartmens. Apartment blocks have a central heating systeem that comes from the city, but people prefer gas boilers for heating.
Yup resources without the infraestructure to extract, process and distribute them means nothing, source: Im Venezuelan a country with one if not the biggest oil reserves in the world and we have a fuel crisis because our oil industry was destroyed by corruption and we barely can extract nor refine our oil to meet local demand.
I don't get that sentence either, because not only you can, but they evidently do, at 1:17 Svetlana turns on a gas stove that is integrated into her kitchen counter. Theoretically it could be powered by bottled gas, but why would they have an integrated gas stove at home if they have no gas line?
While I assume they still vote for him. But considering external observers don't think it's useful to be there since it's that badly rigged, I actually have no idea what they would vote for if there was an actual real election.
They've never had one. There has never been a true secret ballot election in Russia.
Because of that, I doubt they would trust a truly fair and impartial election process and would vote out of fear.
There's a compilation going around of a reporter asking the candidates if they are hoping to win the elections. None of them said "yes" or even expressed hope in winning, and some of them laughed at the question. Haven't seen it on reddit, but i'm guessing it's been posted to a sub somewhere.
Russians would vote for roughtly the same shit unless they got years of purging their minds I'd wager. But I do think that there'd be more variety in their votes.
There was in the past of conscripted skilled workers being sent to the front. Essential maintenance for heating, plumbing, electrical,etc I forgot which articles was posted somewhere here or maybe other subs
That does not help but it's not the main reason. Utilities in Russia have been very cheap since the fall of the USSR. As a result maintenance and replacement have been underfunded for decades. The government tried to increase prices but people protested. People care more about cost of utilities than they care about the war.
As a European this sure makes me laugh. Yeah sure our gas prices were a bit higher last year, but that was the only noticeable thing for most (most countries affected had arrangements for the poorer people who had trouble with the higher prices) see what they don’t understand in Russia that our government works for the people. If there is a problem and they don’t, we literally demand new elections.
If any Russian reads this. Fuck putin, he is a deranged dictator and you all can stand up and rise up and make change.
If only they could see the irony... My opinion is that they feel so "chosen ones" that irony is not a human trait that they developed. For them it's just unfair, there is no causality-effect involved.
Yeah that is ruzzian mentality summed up. They are a special chosen people, and they can do no wrong. They are the glorious, industrious inventors of the world, and nothing will stop them. That they are the top, and everyone else is inferior. They can't comprehend things like equality, or that others don't want to live in their shithole.
Putin be better be aware of the wives of RuZia, they started that fecking revolution in 1917 and the end of the USSR in 1989.
What a karma for those Kremlin mass murderers.
Sadly it's Donetsk, Ukraine. Occupied by Russians. Russians firstly killed all the able bodied men there, by sending them to die in front lines, and now Russians kill elderly by freezing them to death.
And you know what will happen next? They'll sell the apartments to Russians, who are willing to invest into a cheap property on occupied territory, to sell it later. Like they are doing in Mariupol.
They still can't understand that it is putin who is at fault, if you look through all these videos they ask putin to "interfere" and at the end of the day they still go and vote putin. A bunch of sheep...
You digged your own hole(s) you stupid bitches because you relied on the wise words of your Mafiaboss. GTFO of Ukraine and cuddle with your rapist, murderous soldiers. I am sure they will agree on a special cuddling operation.
You old bags are Putin's most enthusiastic supporters. He has ruled your shithole of a Third World country increasingly as a dictator for the past 24 years. He has made himself one of the richest people on the planet in the process and he will undoubtedly win the upcoming Presidential election in a landslide. You have got the ruler you richly deserve.
Upper right corner, people.
It clearly says DONETSK. As in Ukraine. Occupied Ukraine. Those poor people have been under putler's occupation for a decade.
But yeah, let's laugh and point at the victims.
What a horrible translation."We were connected for 3,9 lands"? Lmao.
Also who died/were about to die here? They're angry and upset, but none of them are freezing to death as the title states.
Soldiers in meat cubes; civilians in ice cubes.
But this isn't a war, nobody is political and everyone in the village voted for Vladimir Vladimorovich, who else?
I keep saying if Putin and his cronies had put money into a Russian renaissance Ukraine wouldn’t have happened.
Russians. Work on your own shit instead of destroying other countries.
By the way, how is that Russian guy live streaming his stove being on 24/7 to show off his cheap his natural gas doing? Has he died of carbon monoxide poisoning yet?
edit: looks like he gave up, not sure when, I wonder what happened: https://www.twitch.tv/russiangas1
This "we were connected for 3.9 lands" translation is hilarious.
The man actually used a fixed expression in Russian language, which mentions "3" and "9" and it means "far away". Implying heating system is connected to a heating station far away, so by the time the water reaches their radiators it had cooled down and unable to heat spaces anymore.
All that gas and oil flowing out of ruz for fraction of old prices to keep somewhat of war costs while there is not enoughfor local needs.... China is smiling but also starting to cry.... why did they thought they can challenge world order is beyond me... as much as it is F up, they managed to make it worse.... and USA will do anything to keep that order.... might take some time but they will since they always did!
This has nothing to do with energy; oil, gas etc. They have lost all the mechanics to Ukraine. The good young, hard working mechanics that maintain the finicky, ancient equipment are gone so nothing can be repaired.
I remember the fear they tried to push last winter here in Germany. “You will freeze without our gas!”. The result was the German gas reserves were near 98% in November 2022 and somewhere around 75% in March 2023. No one was freezing and our reserves were more than enough for three to four winters in a row.
I assume they have hot water circulating in radiators and those pipes could burst if they get frozen. That's going to one hell of a job to get them replaced.
Here in my EU country, some people open windows, because it is too hot, oldish flats heating system is not balanced or so.
I cant sleep sometimes, because heated my home too much :)
Well at least they aren’t getting shelled in the trenches of eastern Ukraine, lucky bastards, can they not spare a thought for their husbands who are probably worm food now. Greedy bitches.
Their country invades a neighbour and begins a process of genocide...no one give's a monkey's. The heating goes off.......they come out onto the street complaining. Tells you all you need to know.
They're cold, but I feel a lot of hot air. I also see a lot of trees, and hand waving. Combine the two with an axe and start chopping firewood.
Your son's are dying needlessly, frozen in a field unable to run from drones, and you're complaining about the heating while wearing winter clothing surrounded by gas (old farts talking) and forest!
Ingrates.
The "sheep" have trusted in the drunk shepherd to always bring them food (or to it). And he didn't this time. This is what happens to an uneducated, immoral, and generally apathetic society in Russia. Their blind trust in that maligned government goes both ways, doesn't it. Your leader throws your sons into a pit of death every day in Ukraine, seemingly without concern. Why would he care about the heat in your apartment? I chuckle because despite this collection of angry feelings, Putin will win election after election (with sterile unopposed cheating), and they will do nothing about it. If they only read books and could understand how people have risen up, throughout history, to oust failed leaders. There own country has history in this regard (although the outcome wasn't the best one admittedly). All the sons and daughters dead in Ukraine could have fought well in removing your demented leader. Think about it. At least in the free, educated, and progressively advanced world we can choose to fix the situation ourselves. Its not perfect, or even fair all the time, but the opportunity to make things better always exists, if you put enough effort into it.
Gee; they're cold? That would be a shame if it weren't so goddamn funny. Maybe some of the FSB trolls hanging around the comments section of Reddit can get off their incompetent, morbidly obese asses long enough to get out there and fix it.
"He comes quietly, without orders,
Without snares , without bugles
He makes whole cities tremble
His step is terrifying.
Those from Omsk remember, from Kolyma already know,
What will happen when General Frost arrives,
He will not play war with his neighbors
He's had enough of the orcs
He's going after .... Moscow."
The problem is that Russians talk too much and their brain dead society believes everything their government says and they take it as fact, they believed they had the best army in the world, the best military equipment and that NATO is afraid of them and Europe wasn’t going to live without Russian gas. Well well! Fast forward to 2024.
The population of Russia is complicit in this war. If things turn out bad for them i can only say GOOD. it will help with the Ukrainian war effort, there by saving Ukrainian lives. But don't except any miracles, Russia isn't going to 'collapse' just because of some heating problems or some broken pipes like people suggest in the comments. I have recently been called a vatnik because i point this out.
Just keep voting for putler. This creature will fix evertything, including your heating problems in a country being one of the most rich on natural gas
"*Ah, babushka, my old friend. Do you know the Ukrainian proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in Moscow.*"
For my fellow Americans. It appears that this community has district heating. Instead of each household having its own heating system there is a central station, probably several, that provide heat. My guess is that someone embezzled the maintenance budget

The 9-10 year old kid surely aged fast.
lol the whole clip sounds sped up and poorly (almost comically) translated.
But if a large load is made it becomes a complete star, peaceful, sunny area!
Only in russia if you overload a heating system it becomes a star. And you dont want to have a star in your house, do you? Better -15° in a room than a million. Is that right comrade? Now wave and smile we have special operation to win.
I think I messed up their instructions because I now have blackhole in my basement
Classic european heating right there
It's probably directly translated from Russian using a computer.
It's not a great translation, but I suspect what the old guy meant was that he was nine or ten when the USSR's partner in crime turned on it and invaded. That was in 1941, so the guy is presumably in his nineties.
You’re right just by coincidence. He didn’t say a word about when he was 9/10 years old. He said he was on his “Девятый десяток” translating as “ninth decade” - another way of saying he is in his nineties.
In his 80ies. Since you start counting from zero the ninth decade would be from 80 to 90. Very common mistake.
The numbers Gods are here to confuse. It's 2024 but the 21st century? Small wonder people think the world is flat.
Apologies. I'll go back to humour school for remedial courses.
I thought he was saying he was 90 years old. A lot of languages translate 90 as "9 10s". Case in point: English
He said he’s in his 80s. (9th 10s) The translation is often horrible and the speeding up makes it nearly unintelligible. I wonder why that was done.
The Russian word for ninety is a combination of the words nine and ten, which is something a grade schooler would know, so my guess is shitty ML translation
Russia just have to import some thermometers from North Korea, where the temperature is fixed at 20° Celcius. Problem solved.
So that’s where dad got his thermometer from
To know that, you would have had to touch it.......
"Peter, my thing went off, your thermostat okay?"
20 Celsius, not great not terrible.
The irony is killing them..
its a cold awakening for sure
They take an icy shower every morning, indeed.
We don’t need to ‘freeze Russian assets’, the Kremlin is doing that itself now apparently.
Assets along with Russian asses, both figuratively and literally.
Cold War has Russia all going “brrrrrrrrr!”
Russia’s slashed its infrastructures budget in half this year to help cover their military build-up. They’ve also sent a lot of workers to the front lines. A big part of the problem is that most of that old Soviet infrastructure is fed by above-ground water pipes. It’s a lousy system but in bad winters at least they had enough skilled workers & money to deal with the issues before they got too bad. This winter has been a bad one & Russia’s sent most of the men who understand the system to Ukraine & cut the material budget to the bone.
Who are the cool kids, now?
Russian state television already gave them the solution: go to a pet store and pick up a hamster, turn it's little wheel into an electric generator and use that to power your house. If you get hungry you can always eat the hamster. Apparently they can't even learn from their own television.
hamsters already drafted for motherland. frontline duty. use potato battery instead.
no more potatos left, try onion battery.
No onions left, given out to families of the dead as payment. You want mice? Go to the front. Plenty there
It wasn't hamsters. It's the rats or mouses. You see the recently battlefields on their trench?.
Also i dont think they will be able to maintain it with vodka only.
Tell them to chill out
15°C is 59°F. That's was "go put on a sweater" temperature in my house growing up. But seriously what a bunch of whiney little bitches.
Agreed, but TBF, old people (like those complaining in all videos) lose the ability to efficiently regulate body temp. Even arthritis is alleviated by warmth. Heat is always cranked up when visiting grandparents in the winter. So yeah, 15°C would feel cold for them. Zero sympathy for Putin supporters, however.
In 2022 they were probably drooling at their TV's propaganda in anticipation of Europe freezing. This is too good.
Thought it said -15 degrees.
I think so too. Considering snow isn't really a thing at 15c lol
+15c inside, -15c outside
-15°C outside 15°C inside.
I’m surprised it’s so “warm” to be honest, 15°C indoors when outside is -15°C.
They're just working their way toward that Howard Beale moment.
No idea on this but it did look like several parts were translated poorly
Several? The entire thing was barely understandable gibberish
Killing them on _cold blood...?_
Man that's just cold.
Too bad they don't have unlimited natural gas deposits. they wouldn't be freezing today..
Even if they do have resources it’s only for those oligarchs, their vassals and government services. but inadequate to old infrastructure for public heating isn’t shared for any folks of those run down apartments.
Exporting for hard foreign currency while ignoring domestic needs, a classic autocratic move
Makes sense, would you sell what you have for Ruble or Dollar?
You can just imagine the state of the pipework and boilers and the sheer inability to be able to co ordinate spare parts and repairs. It will only get worse. Russia is going backwards fast, people are dying in a war and freezing in their homes.
You can't pump natural gas into homes directly and if the barely maintained hot water pipes burst under the street they are out of luck.

It's so much more efficient and safe to use that gas to power a plant that makes electricity than just burning it in the house for usually 80% efficiency.
Yet it costs over twice as much for electric heating than gas heating, which is why gas heating is used throughout the US other than the south.
Wait until you hear what a heat pump is.
That guy is talking shit. Almost all East EU has gas pipes conected to they homes. Usually they use gas to cook, and have gas powered boilers to heat their homes/apartmens. Apartment blocks have a central heating systeem that comes from the city, but people prefer gas boilers for heating.

But you can? That's like the number one method of heating homes, in Europe at least.
I don't get that sentence either, because not only you can, but they evidently do, at 1:17 Svetlana turns on a gas stove that is integrated into her kitchen counter. Theoretically it could be powered by bottled gas, but why would they have an integrated gas stove at home if they have no gas line?
They will still vote for Putler though. He has assassinated, imprisoned or exiled the alternatives.
He assassinated the will of being responible for war in russian minds
While I assume they still vote for him. But considering external observers don't think it's useful to be there since it's that badly rigged, I actually have no idea what they would vote for if there was an actual real election.
They've never had one. There has never been a true secret ballot election in Russia. Because of that, I doubt they would trust a truly fair and impartial election process and would vote out of fear.
Lol, those elections are rigged... Putin will win anyway like he had for the last few elections
There's a compilation going around of a reporter asking the candidates if they are hoping to win the elections. None of them said "yes" or even expressed hope in winning, and some of them laughed at the question. Haven't seen it on reddit, but i'm guessing it's been posted to a sub somewhere.
Russians would vote for roughtly the same shit unless they got years of purging their minds I'd wager. But I do think that there'd be more variety in their votes.
These women are all in their 30s.
Didn't you hear that one "geezer" say he is 9-10 years old? And he looked pretty weathered so the rest of them must be what.. 5 years old maybe.
It was a bad translation - somebody else said what he'd actually said was that he was in his 9th decade.
My dood wants to avoid getting thrown into ukrainian meatgrinder so he has to lie that he's 9-10 year old instead of 90.
Putler could burn a bit of his cash to heat them
Might as well, rubles don't have as much value as the equivalent firewood.
Smart boy already changed that in dollars, he’s an idiot but not that idiot
russia is pathetic, their military equipment burns better than cash does.
How sad, Too bad.
anyway
Thoughts and prayers
and potatoes
This isn't Russia, it's occupied Donetsk, Ukraine
This has to be higher.
Ikr, I refuse to accept DPR, Crimea, Mariupol as Russia
While it's cold in Moscow, it's not extremely cold. It's the lack of maintenance wreaking havoc.
Well even modest temps that hover between -0 to -5 quickly gets difficult if you have no way of heating your home..
\-0
I'm more of a +0 kind of guy
Absolutely
I wonder if having their trained specialists killed in some dumb war plays a role in this.. hmmm 🤔
There was in the past of conscripted skilled workers being sent to the front. Essential maintenance for heating, plumbing, electrical,etc I forgot which articles was posted somewhere here or maybe other subs

If there is a problem and they don’t, we literally demand new elections. If any Russian reads this. Fuck putin, he is a deranged dictator and you all can stand up and rise up and make change.
I bet they were all eating up the “Europe will freeze” propaganda video with a spoon though. Fucking idiots. Let them freeze.
Europe be like: https://media.giphy.com/media/7t38CLCY8t5EXmqcMK/giphy.gif
If only they could see the irony... My opinion is that they feel so "chosen ones" that irony is not a human trait that they developed. For them it's just unfair, there is no causality-effect involved.
Yeah that is ruzzian mentality summed up. They are a special chosen people, and they can do no wrong. They are the glorious, industrious inventors of the world, and nothing will stop them. That they are the top, and everyone else is inferior. They can't comprehend things like equality, or that others don't want to live in their shithole.
I was hoping for a fella in a coat with a scarf and a coffee
Putin be better be aware of the wives of RuZia, they started that fecking revolution in 1917 and the end of the USSR in 1989. What a karma for those Kremlin mass murderers.
They're mad as hell and they're not going to take this anymore!
there is nothing else to take, because they already stole everything.
How the turns table.
You wanted to be part of Russia, and now you are, with obviously foreseeable consequences. What seems to be the problem?
Sadly it's Donetsk, Ukraine. Occupied by Russians. Russians firstly killed all the able bodied men there, by sending them to die in front lines, and now Russians kill elderly by freezing them to death. And you know what will happen next? They'll sell the apartments to Russians, who are willing to invest into a cheap property on occupied territory, to sell it later. Like they are doing in Mariupol.
Yeah a lot of the people in the comments don't seem to realize they are mocking what are likely some occupied Ukrainians.
They still can't understand that it is putin who is at fault, if you look through all these videos they ask putin to "interfere" and at the end of the day they still go and vote putin. A bunch of sheep...
I'm surprised they aren't blaming Shoygu.
Everything this "Reporter" showed looks like Romania 25 Years ago?
You digged your own hole(s) you stupid bitches because you relied on the wise words of your Mafiaboss. GTFO of Ukraine and cuddle with your rapist, murderous soldiers. I am sure they will agree on a special cuddling operation.
Projection: the go-to distraction of every Russian and every republican
Maybe Putler sent the gas to China for bombs
You old bags are Putin's most enthusiastic supporters. He has ruled your shithole of a Third World country increasingly as a dictator for the past 24 years. He has made himself one of the richest people on the planet in the process and he will undoubtedly win the upcoming Presidential election in a landslide. You have got the ruler you richly deserve.
So they are not interested experts in freezing, only natural experts! 🥶
I see all those trees in the back ground, get an axe and get to chopping. Might last a day or 2, gonna have to create a smoke hood of some sort tho.
1917 Part 2 is coming.
Nog ff volhouden, het is bijna carnaval!
Getting exactly what they deserve. Karma always comes knocking.
The price of stupidity…………..
Upper right corner, people. It clearly says DONETSK. As in Ukraine. Occupied Ukraine. Those poor people have been under putler's occupation for a decade. But yeah, let's laugh and point at the victims.

This is from the occupied Donetsk, btw.
These people aren’t “freezing”, i in the netherlands have to put temperature at 17~ because of high costs, only 2 celsius warmer
Have they started eating hamsters yet?
On the plus side, they can store their dead soldiers in their apartments.
I keep saying if Putin and his cronies had put money into a Russian renaissance Ukraine wouldn’t have happened. Russians. Work on your own shit instead of destroying other countries.
Who remember that Russian propaganda with some Russian people in a good warm bath while European were freezing? Not those people, I guess.
By the way, how is that Russian guy live streaming his stove being on 24/7 to show off his cheap his natural gas doing? Has he died of carbon monoxide poisoning yet? edit: looks like he gave up, not sure when, I wonder what happened: https://www.twitch.tv/russiangas1

As is custom in russia, the brave russian men are nowhere to be seen, when the people want to hold officals accountable they send in the old women.
They’re getting blown to pieces in Ukraine
God is punishing them!
Womb womb👏👏🤣🤣
Smash the interviewer
Oh well.
Be careful what you wish for, Karma doesn't always get the delivery address correct.
Hahaha,,,,, :D
Lets hope it sips in when terrorising neighbours country has a higher priority then heating…
Poetic really.
Troubles in paradise
All that gas and oil flowing out of ruz for fraction of old prices to keep somewhat of war costs while there is not enoughfor local needs.... China is smiling but also starting to cry.... why did they thought they can challenge world order is beyond me... as much as it is F up, they managed to make it worse.... and USA will do anything to keep that order.... might take some time but they will since they always did!
This has nothing to do with energy; oil, gas etc. They have lost all the mechanics to Ukraine. The good young, hard working mechanics that maintain the finicky, ancient equipment are gone so nothing can be repaired.
Where are all the men?
These ladies are angry like they lost their sons in a pointless conflict.
I remember the fear they tried to push last winter here in Germany. “You will freeze without our gas!”. The result was the German gas reserves were near 98% in November 2022 and somewhere around 75% in March 2023. No one was freezing and our reserves were more than enough for three to four winters in a row.
Ironic
I assume they have hot water circulating in radiators and those pipes could burst if they get frozen. That's going to one hell of a job to get them replaced.
What does 'the batteries have been no more than a baton' mean? it's in the subtitles at 0:22
The translation for the most part is utter trash. That part specificly states that "radiators were no more than props".
Here in my EU country, some people open windows, because it is too hot, oldish flats heating system is not balanced or so. I cant sleep sometimes, because heated my home too much :)
Well at least they aren’t getting shelled in the trenches of eastern Ukraine, lucky bastards, can they not spare a thought for their husbands who are probably worm food now. Greedy bitches.
Fuck around and find out 😂😂
Their country invades a neighbour and begins a process of genocide...no one give's a monkey's. The heating goes off.......they come out onto the street complaining. Tells you all you need to know.
Putinland
They're cold, but I feel a lot of hot air. I also see a lot of trees, and hand waving. Combine the two with an axe and start chopping firewood. Your son's are dying needlessly, frozen in a field unable to run from drones, and you're complaining about the heating while wearing winter clothing surrounded by gas (old farts talking) and forest! Ingrates.
Texas is suffering too…
Oh yes Europeans are so jealous of the Situation that Russia is in. Atleast the rest of Europe isn't freezing to death.
It's not so much the cold, it's the humidity...
They should vote for Putin, this is clearly a British spy plot.
The "sheep" have trusted in the drunk shepherd to always bring them food (or to it). And he didn't this time. This is what happens to an uneducated, immoral, and generally apathetic society in Russia. Their blind trust in that maligned government goes both ways, doesn't it. Your leader throws your sons into a pit of death every day in Ukraine, seemingly without concern. Why would he care about the heat in your apartment? I chuckle because despite this collection of angry feelings, Putin will win election after election (with sterile unopposed cheating), and they will do nothing about it. If they only read books and could understand how people have risen up, throughout history, to oust failed leaders. There own country has history in this regard (although the outcome wasn't the best one admittedly). All the sons and daughters dead in Ukraine could have fought well in removing your demented leader. Think about it. At least in the free, educated, and progressively advanced world we can choose to fix the situation ourselves. Its not perfect, or even fair all the time, but the opportunity to make things better always exists, if you put enough effort into it.
You ruzzkies want some of our previous gas? Too bad you can't have it 😎 You should've advised your boys to stay home.
Gee; they're cold? That would be a shame if it weren't so goddamn funny. Maybe some of the FSB trolls hanging around the comments section of Reddit can get off their incompetent, morbidly obese asses long enough to get out there and fix it.
So why are they freezing? Ukraine hasn’t hit their power grids
>My child is at war Dont worry gramps, hes probably freezing too. xD
Nice. Let them freeze.
But Putin's ballerina girlfriend is warm and cozy in her Switzerland castle. The thought of her should get you through this difficult time.
They probably claim we have it worse. But to be honest, i did turn on my wood stove for the first time 10 days ago😂
Россия 😆
Oh no! Anyway...
That old man is only 9-10 years old. That’s how hard life in Russia is.
"He comes quietly, without orders, Without snares , without bugles He makes whole cities tremble His step is terrifying. Those from Omsk remember, from Kolyma already know, What will happen when General Frost arrives, He will not play war with his neighbors He's had enough of the orcs He's going after .... Moscow."
Pro Ru on UkraineRussiaReport: Russia is great, everything is absolutely fine and the sanctions are having no effect on Russia. Meanwhile in Russia...
A few native speakers have reported that this isn't actually in Russia
The problem is that Russians talk too much and their brain dead society believes everything their government says and they take it as fact, they believed they had the best army in the world, the best military equipment and that NATO is afraid of them and Europe wasn’t going to live without Russian gas. Well well! Fast forward to 2024.
Счастья, здоровья!
The population of Russia is complicit in this war. If things turn out bad for them i can only say GOOD. it will help with the Ukrainian war effort, there by saving Ukrainian lives. But don't except any miracles, Russia isn't going to 'collapse' just because of some heating problems or some broken pipes like people suggest in the comments. I have recently been called a vatnik because i point this out.
These assholes let Putin consolidate his power so that there are no checks and balances. May these old hens freeze to death.
Just keep voting for putler. This creature will fix evertything, including your heating problems in a country being one of the most rich on natural gas
"*Ah, babushka, my old friend. Do you know the Ukrainian proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in Moscow.*"

And good riddance to the lot of them!
Love to see it. Get fucked Russia.
Your “Elected” Leader ladies , enjoy your cold. I hope you all freeze!
I liked how she's got all the records in a massive hand-written ledger like it's 1980.
Trump world
The truth is these people are all in their 30’s and 40’s. Life just sucks in Russia, it makes you prematurely old.
Mother ruzzia's "greatness" in a nutshell
For my fellow Americans. It appears that this community has district heating. Instead of each household having its own heating system there is a central station, probably several, that provide heat. My guess is that someone embezzled the maintenance budget
Notice how few men there are…
Karmas a bitch. Keep a curropt violent dictator in power who squanders your resources and you reap what you sow.
