Post: I love it when the streets of the city are clean

I'm a simple emigrant, and I love it when the streets of the city are clean

I read, in my spare time, Varlamov's article about a housing complex in Novosibirsk https://varlamov.ru/3326054.html and paid attention not to the buildings themselves, but to the mess that’s going on around them. Everywhere there’s “open” ground, dirt, the absence of roads or at least sidewalks. I can imagine what the shoes and trousers of a person passing there would end up like. And this is basically the case in many places in Russia. I don’t know why, I’m not an expert, but I do know that as soon as spring starts, from my home in Tyumen to the bus stop I can only swim. Here, on my way to work, I pass by two very large construction sites and two road repair sites. First, one of them was finished very quickly; I simply don’t know when the others began. Secondly, although the district I walk by isn’t considered super advanced, there is absolute cleanliness in any weather. Snow, rain, sun — always clean, even on stretches along the route with construction. No slush, mud, sand, or just dirt. You can calmly wear outdoor shoes and walk into the office and you won’t leave those awful traces that you’d want to scrub away with a mop. I would add this to the list of big positives :) #frankfurt
