Can't say about all Eastern Europe, but we were poor for a thousand years in a row.

When you say Eastern Europe is poor do you mean third world tier poor or just not as rich as Western Europe?

I went to lithuania once and the taxi drove me through some commie looking allies and stopped to a seemingly dead end, in front of a building with the facade half crumbled away, it legitimately looked like it had been bombed during WW2, I thought I was a bout to mugged, when some random dudes started walking out from the building

turns out it was the hotel, the rooms were perfectly nice from the inside

Slovakia was the 8the wealthiest country during the time between wars and even managed to somewhat keep its wealth during ww2(mostly because we were a german satellite). Now it's in shit.

So yes, communism is the reason most of eastern Europe is poor. On the other hand it delayed degeneracy a bit so I guess that's a plus.

>>90291833
where is this?
google gave no results

I'm from Vancouver. most people in the UK don't want to live in apartment buildings and those who do are social-income bracket families. Maybe that's why, but in Vancouver and basically anywhere else in North America it's the exact opposite.

>>90291959

>>90292077
Also Cozy AF!

>>90291833
Holy shit well now I know what a piece of you dying feels like

Interesting fact, the living buildings in Eastern Europe, at least in my language, are called blocks. There is a theory that the blocks, were build with the intent to look depressing and demotivating, to keep spirits down.

I can't remember, it was some really small one, seemingly owned by a single family living in the same building, it was in kaunas

the funny thing is that the other side of side of the building was fairly okay and was along this pretty long as fuck shopping street type of thing

like some sort of facade put up to make the place look nice while if you walk just a bit to the allies it looks fucking horrible, there was a burned down building next to the hotel too, which was seemingly abandoned, there were no indications that anything was about to be done about that

Poor mostly due to corruption, and being screwed by other countries. Slavs are not so bright when it comes to economy.

During the monarchy, we were one of the most powerful economies. After that, it was even better - ours was in the ten top powerful economies in the world. Then came nazis, stole and break our shit (used it against France, good riddance you snotty fucks). But it was not Fritz who fucked it up good, it was Ivan later. Commies sucked our economy like a hungry whore sucks dicks. The last mercy shot was after the "revolution" when everything was privatized and ultimately sold, stolen or just disappeared.

Eastern Europe was missing a very large industry (maybe except the Czech) but they were making great progress towards the 30s-40s.

Then the shitty Germans and Russians started WW2, and we lost all the technological progress for decades.

Now society is destroyed by rampant corruption and treachery. At last here, communism destroyed the traditional family by moving lots of people in those awfull dormitories with common expenses and people who'll turn you in.

But you can try it back home, I guess is better than the drug cartels cutting people with a chainsaw.

Croatia and Poland have always been historically more affluent and <spoiler>more relevant</spoiler> than other eastern European countries. Hungary was pretty important too thanks to the Habsburgs, but like the Czech they are arguably "Central" more than Eastern. All the countries mentioned above also happened to be very catholic.

Orthodox, eastern European countries were rather poor throughout their history due to a plethora of different reasons, but we can see that communism only made it worse; eventually destroying every form of progress made culturally and economically.

Romania was in an infinitely better state as a monarchy, the Baltics were messed up hard by the USSR, and Eastern Germany for instance is filthy when compared to Bavaria or the West. Bulgaria managed to kick its own shit in before that.

Communism effectively dissolves any kind of long term prosperity and cultural flair, charm and virtue - leaving grey, depressed and cynical people in its wake.

Yeah but the point is that as soon as they embrace western democracy and capitalism they start growing. They just need to find good industries that fits their people. Poles seem to like software and Russians get a lot of their money from oil.

I'm not saying they will catch up, just that it was a huge fucking disaster that set them back for several decades

The thing is, at least here in Czech Rep., that those buildings are not that *bad* to live in themselves. But there is an awful lot of annoying details who make it difficult. I never lived in anything else than those - they are called "panelaky" here - so I think I can tell.

For example:
>Thin walls, so you hear your neighbor fucking all the time or arguing. Thus, great place to raise kids.
>Wacky thermal insulation so flats on the sides are fucking cold during winter and flats in the center don't even need to shut their warming on.
>Pants-on-head retarded plumbing so you can hear that fat brownie of your fat neighbor to swoosh above your head when you are trying to have a romantic moment with your gf.
>Central flats are fucking saunas during the summer.

And many many more. But I can't help myself, during the years I grow fond of them and I am actually proud.

OK, seriously though, one of the main reasons, that west is richer, than east is due to access to the oceans, that gave them ability to colonize and take all the riches of the rest of the world. while in eastern Europe, only continental countries existed and continental country cannot absorb wealth from it's regions, like naval ones, due to transportation and logistics problems+security issues.

>>90294167
Goyim you've been poor for 70 years, no need to look further, you are worth less than shit.
Only look back if you're looking for reasons to pay the יהודי for the six goyillion.

Yes and no.

They were doing okay or better than some (see poland-lithuania) during the middle ages and then got wrecked by neighboring powers (Turks, Russkies) who were pretty anti-individualist and therefore couldn't enjoy the benefits and innovations of western capitalist nations. Following the loss of Ottoman control, Russia soon shoved shitty Leninist bullshit onto the East, leading to poor economic management for almost an entire or half a century. They haven't really recovered from that.

>>90294788
Not to mention if just one of your filthy neighbors has roaches, chances are they'll spread and find a way into your apartment.

I used to live in a commie block apartment when I was in college and the whole building was infested. I managed to eradicate the roaches in my apartment and keep them out for good, but it took a lot of calk, roach bait, sprays etc.

My personal faves are the earlier Khrushevki, 4 and 5 story units. Pic related is Akademgorodok, a college town built in the middle of a forest in Siberia. Super walkable, trees everywhere, playgrounds in every courtyard that is surrounded by a commieblock on each side. I really loved it these past two summers. Awesome to see so many kids actually playing outside, a ton of your moms with strollers. It was unironically more enjoyable than the vinyl village suburbs I used to live next to in Indianapolis.

Commieblocks are genius, and an actual solution to the housing crisis.

P.S. ex-communist countries are poor because the point of communism was reducing 98% of the population to wage slaves and eliminating the independent middle class. It should not be shocking that 2 generations later, you have a nation of peons.

catholic, but not exclusively
for religious people, it's roughly >70% catholic vs. >25% protestant (85-15 calvinist-lutheran) here

during the 1500s about 80-90% of the population converted to calvinism, then the Habsburgs catholicizatied us back.

e.g. Orbán is a 'reformed protestant' (a calvinist branch)

pic shows ratio of religious people according to 2011 census
pink is catholic, green is reformed protestant (calvinists), blue is evangelical (lutherans), orange is 'other'

The main problem with commieblocks is that they are designed by people who look at how it will look from above, but don't think about how it's absolute crap at ground level, especially if they're in some distant suburb, where it takes ano hour or two to get to work.

Commieblock for 22 years. While I was growing up it was nice.
Then you realize that no work can be done because there is always that one asshole who won't throw in money - usually old people who no longer care for long term investment for obvious reasons. Then there was a guy who found a loophole so he doesn't have to pay bills, doesn't have to add to the funds and can't be legally evicted. Then you realize it's completely shit and you want to move away from commieblock.

Today I'm living in my own house, not sharing it with anybody. Have a nice big garden. Never been happier.

This is my comfy ass South London estate where I've lived my whole life. Everywhere I've ever been that wasn't home has just felt foreign to me. Sure, it's a shithole. It's my shithole.

My grandparents live in a commie block and its comfy. Been renovated a few years ago. Very warm and cozy in the winter... No real noise issues either...

>>90289267
It's poor not only because communism but communism is the main factor. See serfdom in eastern vs western europe. When French Revolutionaries outlawed it there were barely any serfs in France. When Russians did the same 70 years later, there were literal millions of serfs in Russia.

And commie blocks are actually pretty good solution for housing crisis, it's just that they don't allow for exploiting housing bubble since if you're gonna make one commie block, it won't be cost effective, if you'll build 20+ then it's extremely cost effective in terms of money/flat but at the same time you've increased supply of empty flats to the level where it's not as profitable as ordinary blocks built from non-prefab materials.

That's why there are (((people))) who hate them so much. Cheap, affordable flats for everybody? STOP THE PRESSES. Plebs should get mortgage to pay for 30 years, not for 5-10.

I rent in Moscow, where it's pretty much the only option unless you want Stalin-era or pre-revolutionary housing, where everything is falling apart but for some reason very expensive. Pretty nice with the heating, +24 inside, +6 outside with balcony door open, but +28 all summer, even with AC. I'd fix the place up, but landlord doesn't want to pay for it, building is in decent condition, though I suspect the managing company is crooked. Pretty shitty area though, they were building the new circle line and the new freeway next to me for a while, now the circle is done and the freeway is almost done, so it no longer looks like Mordor outside my window.

I also lived into those apartments all my life (except summers when I left for the countryside)

First one, was OK with very thick walls - no sounds whatsoever only if somebody really made a racket. But when Ceausescu was saving money to pay the debts and feed his arab friends....13 degrees inside.

Now few years ago insulation was applied outside them - big difference. Sadly I moved to a new one with shitty thin walls as you mentioned

I'm no communist at all,but this left a lasting impression on me.

Before commie blocks could become a thing here, Pinochet came to power and slums/ghettos (a.k.a. Poblaciones) became the poor people way of habitation. And Suburbs were way more popular than apartments during the 70's-90's, only now they are building apartments everywhere in Santiago.
I feel somewhat jelly of the comfiness of European/Asian Commie apartments, but they must be small as fuck and probably they have space for 4 people max, but they must give a good ambiance in winter and cloudy days.

No anon, just no.

Median wage in Poland is around 1000 euros. Prices can be excessive, quite a lot of relatively poor people have their own houses and shit but these are crumbling ruins from 1970's. You can easily spot them - rectangular, with asbestos roofs and often no elevation, just raw brick, very often visible in the countryside. The only reason why housing crisis isn't as visible as it is in Western World is because we are the immigrant nation, so many people just live and start their families elsewhere.

There are decent places, better parts of big cities like Warsaw, Kraków or Wrocław are very nice but there's also Moldovian level poverty in the eastern part of the country.

I don't know why you faggots think these chicken cages are "comfy" but damn that must be a nuance of mental illness.

These grey blocks are actually linked with depression : a study was made on that. Very interesting, making links between architecture and mental health.

Anyway let me give you two tips :

1. Live in a cold country. Extremely, utterly important.

2. Don't live in a "block", or if you have to avoid these huge ass buildings, pick a small building, 5-6 floors grand maximum.
