Russia has a fairly strong architecture revival movement among the elite
If you go on the <#672211110509674526> channel you can see I post some of their vanity palace renovation projects every once in a while
Even in urban centers
Same thing in Eastern Europe
And increasingly even Germany
Well that’s a government building
Those tend to be pretty based these days
even the regular apartments in the city have elements of russian revival
Even leftists realize 70s concrete shit is a bad look for government buildings
brutalism is probably the most disgusting thing humanity has ever created
Idk there’s some nasty shit out there
But yeah it’s definitely on that top 10 list
I’m always baffled by the yuropoors on this server who defend it
kazan thatre
moscow metro
ditto
stalingrad alexander nevsky cathedral
demolished by communists now being rebuilt
Based
Imagine demolishing your history
Exterminate communism
the communists did a lot more than that
Remember that pol pot wanted to return to year zero to exterminate Cambodian culture
Those commie blocks in the distance are so sad
Imagine living like a bug in one of those buildings
I see what you're posting Norik, doing God's work with it, too.
It's beautiful for sure.
Thats the duality of communism
they intionally made the metro stations ornate and beautifull so the proletariat would ride in luxury
but the living quarters were made out of cheapest materialis made to house the most amount of people as possible
Those faux-baroque metro stations are pretty ugly ngl
It's a shame they knew how to create beauty too, yet barely gave it to the world.
Especially that yellow one
I haven't seen them. Are they really bad?
Vex just posted some
