If you ignore aesthetics you don't deserve to be talked to. These were real buildings real people lived in, not just some drawing. So if they looked like shit, it reflected negatively on people's mental health.

It looks good but why is Lenin fat?

>>3199068
he looks kinda fat there

any way I'm ok with them rebuilding the church afterwards, it's fucking beautiful, but it would still be cool as hell if this got built

Better music, better films, better books than today. People were also more happy and kids had a real childhood.
There is a reason why so many people think about those times with nostalgia.

>>3199082
Because in communism the party leaders get all the food. It was spitting in the face of the populace the decrease their morale and resolve to fight back.

Residential buildings dont need to be works of art, but to be structurally sound cheap and fast to build. After WW2 dozens of millions of soviets were left homeless due to the war. Appeasing antimodernists wasnt a priority back then.

>>3199105
>>3199103
People who fetishize commieblocks are literal idiots, not even the communists themselves fetishized them. It was supposed to be cheap disposable housing and a temporary measure for around 30 years until the USSR gets rich enough to build detached housing for every citizen. Thing is USSR never got richer, it instead collapsed and the commieblocks stayed and now utilitarian idiots like you two unironically think that's the way housing should be handled. As a matter of fact they're not even that practical.

Was a shithole compared to the west. Hope you like not being able to buy consumer stuff and stores that run out of food

>>3199071
I dont find aesthetics in buildings. In machines yes, but not in buildings. Buildings affecting mental health is a bunch of snobbish pseudoscientific BS. By that logic everyone shouldve been mentally uplifted due to the "beauty" of victorian buildings or art deco stuff during the great deppression.

Still not as shitty as suburbs, but your point is well taken.

The idea would be to have young people living in cheap but well maintained and futureproofed apartment buildings and not needing to own a car, while families live in detached housing.

Stalinist architecture was literally canned by Khrushchev as "excessive" and "pompous" not "too expensive to build"
this was decade after the war, when USSR was already throwing money at shit like ballistic submarines and nuclear torpedoes, not picking up bricks from Stalingrad streets

Any type of housing will be perceived negatively if it's primarily used by poor people.

This includes trailer parks and project apartments in the US, commie blocks in the FSU, and suburbs in a lot of Western Europe.

>>3198928
I've done some reading and I know people that visited in the 1960s and 70s. Living conditions differed between times and places. Moscow in the 1970s would have been very different from a remote town in the late 1980s. Generally, unemployment was virtually nonexistent, though underemployment was not uncommon and became worse in the 1970s and 1980s. Few people were homeless, though most people lived in small apartments or communal housing with a small cottage in the countryside. If you didn't call Brezhnev a fat, drug addled old codger or insult Lenin you would probably avoid serious persecution, though you could lose your job or face official harassment if you pissed off the authorities in smaller ways. People weren't starving (contrary to American propaganda), but the variety of food was limited and unpredictable, so people would stockpile whatever they could when it was available in order to have better options at home. Things like bananas or pineapple were very rare, but people supplemented their diets with garden or local market produce in season. Public spaces were taken care of in order to give a good impression, while residential areas were still visibly poorer than most American suburbs. Nevertheless, people had opportunities for cultural activities like dancing, traveling (in approved areas), reading, playing music, and seeing performances. Life was modest but simple I'd say.

>>3199140
it's lit up by floodlights and photographed by 50's camera with needlessly long exposure

>>3199122
Suburbs as in American suburbs? That's a superior type of housing, but their problem is urban planning because America bases everything on the availability of the car, and the fact American parents kick out their kids when they're 18 which leads to endless sprawl.

>>3199115
Didn't something like only 10% of people own a car, and almost nobody had tasted a banana?

>>3199164
The thing is commie blocks weren't for poor people, they were for everyone. Doctors, lawyers, etc.

It was an entire fucking continent, shit wouod be good some places and horrible in others. Depends on local leaders.

>>3199172
I think we're on the same page here.

Suburbs are a great solution for raising families.

They should not be the default type of housing for an entire country, people who aren't raising families should be living in apartment buildings within walking distance of everything.

Average street in Minsk, 1980

>>3199175
Not really. Or rather, it depends of the place.

>>3199175
they had like 10 big car manufacturers and even had largest production by volume in the world at some point IIRC, so no, shitload of people had cars post-war, and considering USSR was heavily invested in Africa and did a shitload of trade with them and, you know, they literally grew bananas around Sochi, that other one smells like bullshit, but yes, exotic fruit WAS expensive/rare

>>3199175

Commieblocks are perfect for singles, old people and working class families. Fuck off with your American privilege. No European country will ever be sparsely populated and rich enough to afford to house everyone in single homes. And that would not be desirable either, because it would completely obliterate the livability of every city. Euro cities are the best in the world because most people live, work and do their leisure within a walking distance or a 10 minute commute from each other.

Americans have the most retarded zoning laws on the planet and as a result the absolutely worst cities.

The capitalist has no problem building cheap accomodation, look at all the high rises in Hong Kong. That is not the problem.

That line of trees is not a park, it is not anything, it is so open it is isolated. In all these pictures of commieblocks I see a tall building surrounded by wasted space. A real estate developer would turn it into something, they will mold a new structure into its surroundings, they will try something new to set it apart from the competition and capture a niche in the market, if there is no demand they won't leave the land to waste, they will build a basketball court, a comfy garden, something to show prospective tenants and boost demand.

Capitalism and Communism are both materialist worldviews that so no value in making anything unique or different. It's all about low cost and efficiency.

38 yo guy from Estonia.
You needed a permit to buy a car and it wasn't so easy to get if you weren't in Komsomol or party. I wasn't in the party but I knew a guy who knew the guy who gave out permits and gave him about 800rubles and 6l of self-made vodka to be able to buy a vaz 06. After I got the permit me and my dad had to go to Leningrad to buy it.
Shops weren't that empty, shit started in the second half of the 80-s. But yeah fruit which wasn't able to be locally grown was in great deficit.

despite that, i've read that the soviets launched industrial espionage operations that were hugely successful in the 1980s. they poached huge amounts of technology from the west and were well on their way to catching up, if not just creating exact replicas of western technology for soviet consumers had they lasted longer

My grandparents went on vacation to Moscow and Leningrad back in the 70's

Grandpa said that every 10 minutes someone would come up and try to buy his VERY 70's plaid pants

also, apparently there was never actually any decent water, it was all slightly salty, so my grandma had to drink mineral water the entire time because she couldn't stand it. Having decent water to drink was by far the most common thing she missed the most

Each worker has had mandatory off days for vacation each year. Workers with high hazards/risks had special privileges and special distribution of products (milk for people working with chemical hazards for example) and access to network of specialised health resorts.

Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet science flagship. Was built in Leningrad in 1971. It’s 231 m long, and 32 m wide. Main engine has 14 000 kWt power. The crew is 136 people and also 220 scientists can travel and do their work. It has 1250 rooms, including 86 science labs. It was built to be able to communicate via satellites with all top important things in Russia. It had served variety of tasks. Most mind blowing is to come to Pacific and track Soviet missiles that were fired from USSR to the middle of nowhere in Pacific. Also to support communication with Soviet space objects – MIR station, Soyuz spaceships etc., when the coverage from on ground stations is poor it could go to any place in ocean and stay there linking Earth with space. It has 75 antennas, including two huge 25 m sat dishes. It could support itself autonomously in ocean for over than 120 days.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union it was attributed to Ukraine who couldn't support it and stopped paying the crew.
At year 1996 they simply stopped paying the crew its monthly salary. Crew decided they needed to survive somehow and started selling small parts of the ship to local black market in the port.
When it went to its final destination – a port in India where it was doomed to be recycled – they had to change the name from Yuri Gagarin to just AGAR because they were ashamed and didn’t want anyone to know how the ship that was beloved by millions was going to be simply scrapped.
