And, is this just a rare show piece while the rest of their area is uninhabitable crap?

The whole city is destroyed. Hundreds of thousands have left.

So the Russians have brought in a couple of thousand people for the reconstruction.

“So the Russians have brought in a couple of thousand people for the reconstruction.”

Off hand I’d say that’s an accurate statement.

My recollection of North Korea, especially just after the war, was that they had an ultra modern show city while the rest of the country lived in a complete hell hole under the communist dictatorship.

Something similar could be going in this town.

I read the comments on the video website. Those responding are likely totally ignorant of reality or paid propagandists.

But like I said, they are very nice, for those wanting to live under the Russian thumb.

And I must add, there are millions, literally millions of
Americans that would be willing to live under an authoritarian government just to live in the security of a nice apartment, having that cell phone, TV and six pack. The tradeoff is giving up all liberties.

We are losing liberties in this country, but we still have more freedoms than most countries. I WOULD NOT TRADE WHAT I HAVE FOR ONE OF THOSE APARTMENTS.
