Moscow's Weirdest Neighborhood - Living Inside a Railway Ring

I live near but never was there! Thanks for information about this place!🙃

Very great to see that they're embracing this unusual area instead of filling it with your generic modern apartment blocks. Wish Helsinki could do the same.

It's a villiage of about 368 people.

Fine wine grows on a vine...willage man...

Your videos are brilliant, a glimpse into a world most of us in the west know little about. I'd move to visit Russia so much to see

Really wonderful video. Thank you for sharing my dear friend❤️. Hope you have a happy and healthy weekend . 👍👍👍👍

Чётко перепрофилировался на экспорт!
Отличный английский, здорово, приятно слышать.

The Czech village of Sokoleč is located inside the railway test ring of Velim, accessible via three bridges over the track. It exists since 1332 and the railway ring was built around it in 1963.

Too bad you're Russian.

Great video ❤

there is a similar neighborhood in Beijing, China, to the northeast of the city center, for similar purpose, as train test tracks. You can easily find it on google map, if you can’t find it, you can search China national film museum, which sits inside the loop track.

Fascinating stuff. I wonder why they never got all the public utilities inline with what other ex-Soviet countries got after independence?

Hopefully the ring has continous welded rail at least

Very interesting! I hope the residents can get some improved services soon, like some stores, gas and central hot water. There is a lot of open space too, they could fit many more residents in that area, and surely a bus could be provided so people don't have to walk so far.

This looks like dascha

Why aren't you in the war?

Also, how much in inches or cm does your nose bridge protrude from the level of your pupils?

As you can see, there is still a lot of free space in the ring that could be used with expansion in an expensive city like Moscow. The fact that this village cannot be reached by vehicle is of course a huge dilemma, imagine that an ambulance would have to be used there.

So it's a full sized train set.....lol

Ukraine ❤

Would you look at that, a circular model train layout in real life

Merci du partage! Il y a vraiment des gens étrange sur cette Terre, qui parcours le monde pour nous et nous ramènent de sacrés informations sur ce qui s'y passe! Merci encore d'avoir été si loin pour nous faire découvrir tout cela! Stéph.
Thanks for sharing! There really are some strange people on this Earth, travelling the world for us and bringing us back some amazing information about what's going on! Thank you again for going so far to show us all this! Stéph.

I would live in it

A small village inside a megapolis, merely a "spitting distance" away from a relatively busy airport (Ostafyevo) and the college of the Russian Railways... surreal, beautiful and intriguing at the same time! A place like this would be ideal for me, as it would combine the calmness of a small village, and the busy life of a city in one nifty package. One could enjoy the joys of the rural life, and the amenities of a modern metropolis at the very same time.

You will probably not carefully study the map and the surrounding area. The fact is that just 1.5 kilometers from the center of Novokuryanovo is the Ostafyevo district, where there is school number 2122 and a Dixie grocery store. Right next to the railway ring outside there is a bus stop "turn to Novokuryanovo", which is no more than a kilometer away. Such infrastructure provision is quite normal for a rural area, which this area essentially is. You also probably know that goods delivery services are very well developed in Mosev and you can generally order everything you need to your home. So this is a very good area; having a private house so close to Moscow is very rare.

Most cows generally do agree that this place is unquite, like the Ring of Isengard, and there be village but no Isildur nor Saruman.

господи, я живу в Москве уже 6 лет и впервые вообще слышу об этом, сумасшедше!

Думаю, что поездка на поезде - не лучший вариант для того, чтобы выбраться из города. Спасибо за еще один замечательный урок. Наслаждайтесь своими путешествиями и будьте в безопасности. I guess hopping a train would not be the best choice for getting out of town. Thank you for another great lesson. Enjoy your travels and be safe.

A cute old village surrounded by railway and a megacity. That must be unique. But i bet 10-20 yrs from now they will replace it with huge residential highrises that follow the shape of the ring

бутово)

Ваня, А где для нас контент?

Why can't people think? "Homeless people living in some of the houses" ?! If they are living in a house they are not homeless OMG!

Смешно слышать... хотьбы бы школу, хоть бы аптеку.. а кто содержать то будет.. а?? Сколько учеников, сколько прибыль от аптеки,а?

So a village within Moscow area, where the houses have no running water, & no gas service? Without running water, they must not have sewage service either! Ironic since they were relocated for a sewage treatment plant!

Gosh, every city around the world have so many weird, wonderful and fascinating quirks. This is amazing. Great video!

Interesting

looks about 50 years behind rural china.

Can you make a video on how to avoid conscription?

I'd * much * rather love in a charming cottage than a high rise! (... as long as the interior is in good shape, obviously)

Awesome

When you describe memorials or monuments, the plate with the names we call in English a plaque, which is actually 15th century French.

Particle collider type beat

There is a similar place near the main train station in Tarnów, Poland. But the ring is not a test track and it's smaller, there are only about 10 houses and 2 blocks of flats inside, most of the space is taken by allotments. It's hard to get there by car because the only asphalt road is for pedestrians and bikes only

I just came across your Channel, Im hooked 👍

It took me a while to get used to Adobe Premiere, so this video has been published later than I expected. I chose a short episode to be my first edited video in Premiere to learn and practice basic features of the new software.
