Russian Realtor Gushes About Tremendous Bargains In Mariupol

“The real estate market here is very non-standard,” says the Russian journalist matter-of-factly as she's shown a devastated apartment in the downtown core of Mariupol, a city destroyed by the Russian invaders but now offering Russians tremendous opportunities. Fixer-uppers are plentiful and available at bargain prices, provided you're willing to make the necessary repairs (like missing walls, lack of power, plumbing, etc.), clean off the blood stains, and throw out old broken furniture, such as children's cribs. With a little elbow grease, they're a steal. Literally.

Ukrainians are outraged after a realtor’s conversation with a Russian journalist in Mariupol shows them mocking the destroyed homes of Ukrainians in a real estate deal, with one disgustingly asking “Why haven’t the owners tidied up?”, NV reports.

The brutality and inhumanity displayed in the exchange has incensed Ukrainians as the pair cynically discusses whether to invest in new buildings or buy the half-destroyed homes in the city center.

The Russians refer to the destroyed Ukrainian apartments as razrushka, (can be translated as wreckies) – and informal and disrespectful term implying potential profit in the future.
