    What’s with all the downvotes? Tankies? I live in one, surrounded by more of those blocks and I find it horribly depressing.

    Yeah some of them (especially older ones) are nice inside but why is the outside so neglected?

    Every square meter is either asphalt, concrete or grass. Nothing grows there and there’s some lawnmower guy who needs to mow it all the fucking time so there’s no quiet during summer

      I wonder why the Soviets stopped tending to their infrastructure around 1991 surely nothing happened around that time?!?!

          Ok so maybe I wasn’t clear that the housing built in a hurry to house people post war was left to rot and not modernised post 1991 as the soviet union collapsed this was followed by shock therapy and capitalists in power who don’t give a shit thus leaving the modern “commie blocks” in eastern Europe today ugly neglected and rundown.
