Actually, in English that would generally be called an "apartment complex", assuming that's a residential building.
The unmodified word "House" in modern usage tends to refer to a private residence, and is thus more along the lines of дача than дом.
Yeah, i tend to mix and confuse these terms.
In Russian дом, literally house, is often a generic term for a building-people-live-in.
Is the video shot in some kind of Moscow suburb, though?
North-west region of Moscow, looking east out of my window.
Curious thing is - it's Moscow de jure, but it's outside the ring road (which was the border of the city from after WW2 up till late 90's).
But all sort of delivery service that differentiate price (or free) and service based on whether you are in the city or outside of it tend to actually differentiate based on whether you are within the rind or outside of it.
The result is - a package arrives to the Moscow's office, they see the address's part "1 2
x street" where x is outside the ring, send it to the regional office, they see the part "x street
Moscow", not our problem, and send it back to the city's office. :facepalm:
Fortunately, it rarely goes on more than one loop, and regular post gets it right the first time.
More annoying are various "free delivery" services, which only realise they are not free outside the ring when at your doorstep.
