Context is this was a Russia reality tv show where they filmed dysfunctional alcoholics. It’s like big brother but if it was in a degenerate crackhouse.

Sosed tv. It means neighbor in Russia. You can google it, many more clips.

The raggedy clothes, the exceptional lack of body fat (ie not American), the general status of the “abode.”

… okay, I guess I can’t put my finger exactly on it, but you are definitely not the only person who jumped to this immediate conclusion.
