    The Soviet Union had higher rates of homeless than the US both back in the 80s and today. Not to mention that commie blocks were notoriously poorly built and maintained. Soviet architecture just isn’t good.

    After the fall of the Soviet Union, every single ex soviet state in Europe (outside of Russia and Belarus) went on a spree to “decommunize” their architecture because it’s so soulless and terrible, and they’re better off for it.

    It’s annoying when this shitty propaganda post gets spammed on here every other day with the same misinformation and misconceptions being spread every damn time.

      Soviet blocks from the fifties-eighties stand just fine, so you should probably check your own propaganda.

        Reality is propaganda to you. Commie blocks were infamous inside the USSR and outside of it that they were poorly designed, built, and maintained. There’s a reason why all the ex Soviet states ran campaigns to replace them.

      Their homelessness did skyrocket after the USSR dissolved though. So saying “they’re better off for it” kind of depends on what you value more, pretty buildings or housing people.
