At 77 m2 (829 sq. ft.) it is indeed tiny, but not overly so. I’ve lived in what felt like very spacious one bedroom apartments that topped out at about 700 square feet and a lot of that felt wasted.
The one thing I would do is get rid of the wall separating the front entrance hall from the living room as well as the walls and doors separating that expanded space from the rest of the house. That central hallway is still wasted space, but at least you’d get the illusion of the space being much larger and open.
And as to why Russian homes have such thick walls, it’s as I suspected…
That probably also explains why the public part of the house is divided from the private area. It can be closed off to save on heating!
