But he never made anything out of it
He could’ve easily used his influence to kickstart a revival of good architecture in the 80s once people were getting tired of modernism and voting conservative
But instead he just whined about concrete
Too late now

Well I guess he still could but it’s not like the people who live in London now would give a shit one way or the other

Doesn't mean they can't in the future, that's what has to be tried for, people caring again.
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
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

moscow metro

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
