Russia Isn't Grey! Modern, Upmarket, Dynamic Yekaterinburg

Forget the industrial stereotypes—modern Russia is surprisingly upscale, dynamic, and full of world-class dining. 🏙️ I’m taking you inside the "swanky" side of Yekaterinburg to show you the high-end reality that rarely makes the news. As a British observer, I've had complaints that my videos always make Russia look grey and dull! This week, I'm setting the record straight by exploring modern, upmarket, dynamic Russia, focusing on the big-city life, swanky apartments, and excellent food found in Yekaterinburg. We're challenging the old stereotypes to show you the side of Russia you rarely see—from crowded supermarkets to clean metro systems and affordable luxury housing.
