    Check it out on the timeline!  Around 20:18 Kira is singing in the kitchen, and then we get a VERY SPECIAL GREETING from a fluffy furry feline.  The time before and after are both good too, Kira singing to Linkin Park, while being MasterChef Kira.  Later she changes light bulbs on the rickety ladder.  The girl can do it all.

    In Russia, the district heating system still supplies almost three quarters of households.

    Every year, every inhabitant experiences a hot water break of about two weeks during the summer. The reason? The maintenance of the municipal piping system: "This work allows us to prepare for the new heating season, to test the pipes and to monitor the ageing of the pipes," explains the St. Petersburg municipal heating company. Heating, and more generally services related to housing, is considered in Russia as a basic need, that's why water and electricity are very cheap.

     

    Excellent answer, thank you. 

    I didn't dig deep into it (no pun intended), but in the time it was build district heating had one major advantage : it is far safer than a gas network. Another advantage is: Russia can be freaking cold, haha. 

    I understood that the system in St.Ptersburg is unique in it being a open system. One taps directly from the main piping. Thus no heat exchangers in your house/apartment block.

     

    Well Russia is not the only city with district heating. We all know the atmospheric scenes in New York movies with some steam escaping the sidewalk vents.💭

    Kira is a little busy right now.  Please Czech back later.  🕵️‍♀️  👤  This post will self-destruct after three viewings.  

    (where is the Mission: Impossible theme song when I need it!)

     

    Ah, timeless tune.

    Remember the scene where Tommy Cruise annoyed the Russians and blew up the Krelin?

     

    But forget Mission: Impossible. It was James Bond who scared the beloved inhabitants of St.Petersburg and wrecked its already atrocious traffic  🙂 Nina and Kira must have been just past toddler-age.

    Thank you for that I think Kira should have explained she speaks better English. 

     

    Nina was adorably cute when she spoke English 🤎

    It shows that even strong-willed and confident people are hindered by a language barrier, making them come across as insecure.

     

    Still. Nina is not always as clumsy about English as this. I have seen/heard her speak English quite well. So it may be a matter of needing some time to switch between languages. It does for me, anyways 🙂

    Nina spoke to the camera in the hall telling us they are going away for a couple of days 

    she did say where  but  I could not understand  

    can anybody help !

    I hear "small vacation" or "snow vacation". Since they are only away for a short trip, I would suggest the former 😁
