    I would say “socialist modernism”, not " soviet brutalism". Because there are a lot of examples not from ex USSR.

    This is Belgrade, Serbia (ex-Yugoslavia):

    Museum of Modern Arts:

    Hotel “Yugoslavija”:

      You should check the link I posted. Honolulu has a crapton of brutalism, so I wouldn’t associate it necessarily with any political movement.

      I think where brutalism exists now is more a function of when an area was being developed, and it just happens that those areas underwent substantial development while brutalism was en vogue (late 50’s - late 1970s).
