Also, why do Poles hate this building so much? I understand that for some Polish patriots it may be symbol of occupation of something, but wasn't surrounding it with far more uglier skyscrapers a little stupid move?

>Also, why do Poles hate this building so much?

because you occupied our country? also Varsovians are used to it

its a symbol of the city

I was born in Warsaw and I think so 🤔

tallest building in warsaw i suppose

yes its still the tallest one

but there's a taller one U/C

>but wasn't surrounding it with far more uglier skyscrapers a little stupid move?

donnut bully our skyscrapers

Socialist realism. 👌

they didn't "surround it with skyscrapers"

it's the city centre

its only natural skyscrapers will pop out there

well, soviet union gave so much money to western block

>well, soviet union gave so much money to western block

thats like your opinion kek

you're told you gave money to the other members of the bloc, we're told you were leeching of everything of value from here so...

But now it's surrounded by skyscrapers and these skyscrapers were built to hide it from the outside view. Now Warsaw's centre just looks ugly, wasn't this building just much more beautiful than these NY-style phalluses?

@rogalik but you're just in denial

soviets gave you best they have

@Mastisæg you realise that this building itself, one of the stalinist skyscrapers was based off american art deco 🤔

@rogalik I didn't imply that it's some kind of "unique Soviet architecture"

there's a demand for skyscrapers in there, it's a centre of our capital, I don't really know wahts your point

I am the greatest russophile here, but I must say that you are lying, @impertinence (or just trolling). 👌

you dont like them?

money like them

@Deus well, prove me wrong

@impertinence in denial about what

xD

I've actually seen a source on it once

not sure if I will be able to find it quickly tho

>At the same time, at the war's end, the Soviet Union adopted a "plunder policy" of physically transporting and relocating east European industrial assets to the Soviet Union.[162] Eastern Bloc states were required to provide coal, industrial equipment, technology, rolling stock and other resources to reconstruct the Soviet Union.[163] Between 1945 and 1953, the Soviets received a net transfer of resources from the rest of the Eastern Bloc under this policy of roughly $14 billion, an amount comparable to the net transfer from the United States to western Europe in the Marshall Plan.[163][164] "Reparations" included the dismantling of railways in Poland and Romanian reparations to the Soviets between 1944 and 1948 valued at $1.8 billion concurrent with the domination of SovRoms.[161]

In addition, the Soviets re-organised enterprises as joint-stock companies in which the Soviets possessed the controlling interest.[164][165] Using that control vehicle, several enterprises were required to sell products at below world prices to the Soviets, such as uranium mines in Czechoslovakia and East Germany, coal mines in Poland, and oil wells in Romania.[166]

uh ok, that was easy

oh, nice copypaste
