“Hello Soviet Union style apartment blocks”
The funniest thing you see in Russia are the old Soviet concrete block apartment houses. Funny because Russia is REALLY BIG. Like thousands of miles of uninterrupted forest, with maybe a town or two every couple hundred miles or so.
So with all that land, the idiots built 10 story monstrosities with tiny apartments. They could have built endless suburbs and never dented their land mass. That’s actually happening now just outside Moscow.
Communists are apparently just two legged ants, desperate for a hill. They simply can’t conceive of people living in open space with land between them.
Endless suburbs? Or 10-story projects?

I noticed that too. Russia has that “big country” feel like the US. I don’t get that feeling in western Europe. Although, the apartments are more like 20 stories in places like Moscow. Just leaving the airports of some Russian cities you enter large seemingly primordial forests before you arrive in the city the airport serves. Development can be wacky there. Probably a lot of that has to do to with corruption.
not just soviet union
there are just massive apartment housing complexes all across europe
just awful. looks like prisons.
Those apartment buildings are bid, dreary and made entirely of concrete. They’re absolutely dismal. Most Russians wont look you in the face and rarely speak to each other in public.
