How do people really live in Kostroma, Russia, in 2023?

Kostroma city has a 2023 population of 266 thousand. This is a very old city (founded in 1152), which still has wooden buildings, but their condition is catastrophic. What do the residents of the city say about it? A poor and falling apart province. There are many poor people, drinkers and drug addicts among the inhabitants. There are many cancer and AIDS patients. A dying city with no future. There is rubbish all around (thrown out of windows). There are no public toilets, so it is not uncommon for people to defecate all over the place. City utilities work very poorly. Electricity, gas, and heating are often cut off in homes.
