@gemlog If you liked the apartments check out documentaries by Телекон here:

There are videos commented by a dosimetrist who took a greeat part in liquidation. Some videos show the interior of the Припят apartments, and yeah, they are so cozy!
Plus, language is RU but EN subbed :)
@gemlog Well, you are aiming high!
Check out videos by "bald and bankrupt", he goes to the middle in f'ing nowhere and speaks Russian with people. A man after my own heart - if only I could hold a conversation.
He has a video with very particular recommendations for Russian language, such as: don't learn Russian grammar. Apparently it's terribly difficult to get right, yet you can have all you need with a more basic skillset!
@s21 I have read that about not learning russian grammar before now.
Like other langs, i don't have anyone to talk to and likely never will. My goal is simply to read things. I notice with spanish I'm beginning to get the gist listening now too (but reading is better).
I'm not really aiming as high as you think! :-)
@s21
Thanks, I have the docus up in a tab. Also, I looked up Telekon on youtube in general.
It's actually good they are in russian. At this point I'm happy I can (mostly) sound out words having just learned (tenuously) the alphabet. Of course, "sounding out" words doesn't mean I have a clue what they mean! :-)
Also ъ and ь... not so much yet at all.
