Per my standard criteria for information, this guy’s channel is at least 3 years old. So before the war that would generate propaganda.

Seeing videos has a specific methodology. Ignore all talk. Just look in the background to see what life looks like.
St Petersburg. I see no flooded streets or broken pipes. They may exist, but not in the videos of 3 yr old channels.
St. Petersburg and Moscow are great places to live if you are rich. Otherwise, not so much.
