This seems to be a detailed inspection of some sort. It’s an interesting view into Russian private aviation (RA tail number is not a gov’t or public registration.)
Articulating later model seats. (can be difficult to remove due to interference with doorpost)
Which landing gear legs? They appear “bow-legged” …but don’t appear to be “lady legs”.
He discusses the lack of a bag door.
Benham-style exhaust, all metal gascolator.
Altered cabin heat w/HW mufflers.

He's speaking Russian, but when you watch, select CC closed-captioning, then translate to English. You'll get a good idea of what he's talking about. He's doing a pre-purchase, but he spends a lot of the video talking about how great an airplane the 170 is.

Sergey (previous owner?) used to post in the Facebook Cessna 170 group quite a bit before the Ukrainian war but has been silent since. Seemed to really enjoy flying it. I was unaware there was civilian aviation in Russia before that.
