They are addictive to me.

I'll never understand how they just left everything to decay

gas station in ussr (wonewhere in ukraine i think)
Leo Moore
No maintenance
Jace Sanchez
Pollution city
Aaron Barnes
Radioactive lake
Jacob Wright
Lucas Russell
Looks comfy
Cooper Adams
Why did people not put any effort into making commieblocks look nice?
Thomas Butler
View from my work. I took it today.
Thomas Hill
Looks like Poland in 1990s.
Gabriel Sullivan
> In 1968, following a drought in the region, the wind carried 185 PBq (5 MCi) of radioactive dust away from the dried area of the lake, irradiating half a million people.
I always find the stories from the USSR both horrifying and hilarious in some twisted sense.
Blake Carter
muh city
Alexander James
Shop with a furniture, I guess?
Isaac Ortiz
Very bleak. What is your job?
Austin Wilson
Poland in 2019 looks like Poland in 1990s too t bh.
Jose Davis
It's quite impressive just how little they cared about safety and human lives.

But Japan was doing the same, in 21 century.

The Soviets were more aesthetic about it though. Fukushima wasn't as bad as was caused by a national disaster, not slavic incompetence.
Nathan Morgan
How do you get them when they are hanging up? Some kind of auto lower function?
Reminds me of a rust belt city. Which might be the way for people to understand and . Well, it's not the same reason why Detroit et al went to shit. Russia doesn't have nogs. But it's understandable.
Isaac Brown
Say what you want about the commieblocs, but I would love to have so many trees in urban area here.
Liam Hughes
Yes.
Document screener for currency control. I work in a back-office of Russian Citibank, they rent two floors in this furniture center.
Brayden Cruz
That's a suburb tho
Elijah Reyes
A lack of competition probably. Commercial apartments, and commercial products in general have to look nice to get the attention of consumers.
Leo Hall
Same view in summer.
Andrew Thomas
I guess. but when i was in Poland almost all commieblocs had lawn and trees between them. It was quite nice during the summer.
Brody Ward
So build a non earthquake proof nuclear powerplant on such lands was not incompetence? I mean they used the human forces literally the same way as half of century ago.
Kayden Adams
How the hell did they even go to space? I understand they stole technologies from us but still. Amazing.
Owen Young
So you think commieblocks are nice just because there are trees around them? There are trees around your houses, and around our houses. Why do you think those trees are so special? Unless you live in a concrete jungle of course.
Camden Brown
Noah Phillips
Well, back in the day they thought it looks good and is super modern.
Isaiah Lewis
Russians are orcs, Japanese and Finns are elves speaking moonrunes, dumb Slav.
Jaxson Taylor
>I understand they stole technologies from us
Same as you did, they stole technologies from Germans.
Gabriel Murphy
>Unless you live in a concrete jungle of course.
Most cities in the US are exactly like that, user.
Michael Ortiz
Based boring admin job
Joseph Price
Exactly like what? My pic, or a concrete jungle devoid of trees?
Nathan Cook
There's a part of me that would like to see a return of glorious brutalism, as long as it's in a place where it's not ruining the aesthetic of other buildings.
Grayson Howard
yes
Oliver Ortiz
We concrete everything we can within the city limits.
Luis Cook
Eh, which one? Former or latter?
Elijah Nguyen
sorry, i am not that user, i was just bored and couldn't resist it :D
Tyler Cooper
>How do you get them when they are hanging up? Some kind of auto lower function?
Probably just hangs there
Gabriel Parker
They did.
They didnt put any effort into maintaining them
Julian Anderson
Well, what about portland
You demon.
Jack Turner
>auto lower function?
oh no no soviet robotics in the russian weather.
what can possibly go wrong keke
Cameron Price
>Commieblock archtitects were following the avantagarde of modernism..., pic related one the very famous Le Corbusier buildings.
Owen Robinson
no, look at the ones on the left
Ryan Taylor
ah i think you can see there is a string attached to them that you can pull. wicked
Jaxon Flores
This is why I'm always on the edge with the decision to move out of the country for good, in summer everything is kino as fuck but the winters man
Jackson Hughes
0/10
Did you even try?
Joshua Perry
Pic related from Vienna. This was what commieblock architects (at least in Yugoslavia) were trying to achive. The idea was basically proving that communism/socialism could provide same modern or even better living conditions for its citizens than capitalistm can.
Brayden Sullivan
>Well, what about portland
I did not say all of them.
There are some picturesque towns on Eastern Coast for example.
But in general trees are confined to parks. Makes sense from the maintenance point of o view, I guess, roots can be a real pain in the ass, but i like the European combinaton of architecture and greenery.
Ryan Stewart
Sebastian Brooks
>putting effort in your commieblocks
You were doing it wrong
But damn, it looks awesome
Ryan Stewart
William Lopez
This is nice.
Levi Butler
Instead of proving that they can achive the same living standard the capitalists can, the yu-architects proved that they can build better commieblocks than Romanians or Mongolians :3
Zachary Gray
>Drive in to get fuel
>Your shitty Lada has its windscreen broken by a fuel pump just hanging around
Amazing
Jayden Lopez
Well, it's Vienna. Our modernism looks like this in comparison.
Robert White
Oslo is the least green city we have.
Lucas Gomez
at typical lada speeds this is not an issue
Probably has the operator push a button after you pay or something. Maybe automatic. Would take a small motor and a few relays to implement, not too complicated.
Joshua Ramirez
Heh, they all look the same up close.
This one is a big guy
John Peterson
I like this a lot.
But THIS is the aesthetic I'm looking for
Colton Roberts
now this is communism I can support
Noah Anderson
All pics besides the Corbusier and the Vienna ones are indeed one and the same building, called Super Andrija.
Chase Murphy
It isn't communism, though.
Alexander Anderson
house of dead
Wyatt Campbell
>Oslo is the least green city we have.
And yet I see a lot of parks and trees.
Cooper Hernandez
It looks like a factory, and not a living place.
Very marxist, I guess.
Ayden Cruz
How did/do Russians manage to keep going in the face of such misery?
Liam Taylor
yeah I know I wish it was tho, but, it is very essence of communism to create depressing and uncreative things so even if it was built by commies it would be deemed as uncommunistic. Or something.
Jeremiah Russell
found it, it is still there amazingly
Isaac Evans
it`was elite living house where 90% tenants were murdered during Great purge.
Charles Bell
>you will never live through the USSR's most prestigious years
Benjamin Barnes
oh look another one, but this one is more like a museum.
Levi Adams
damn 60s cars are cool as fuck
Adam Mitchell
>That one guy that came from wrong direction
Julian Powell
Jason Morales
Nicholas Allen
this pic reminds me of the CoD:MW for some reason
Christopher Rogers
>How the hell did they even go to space?
Christian Brooks
Why couldn't they make cars like that? It is so unpatriotic and embarrassing for a commie to pose in front of this marvel of capitalism. But I have to admit the commies loved France because France has always been the most pro-commie cunt in the western world.
Caleb Richardson
Soviet poverty aesthetics beat Capitalist poverty aesthetics anytime
Jaxon Foster
Andrew Foster
guality of fotocameras and photo film in 60s was also much better than modern. Such bright colours. I still love to watch 60s Soviet classics because of brigt natural colours
Dylan Edwards
Gavin King
The photo was taken by a Pole, to add irony
Wyatt Peterson
it's not a soviet car per-se but it's a socialist car none the less
East-German Melkus RS 1000
Jordan Rodriguez
you stole tecnologies from us. grid fins used in SpaceX are ours. And little German.
en.wikipedia.org
Asher Bennett
oh really? you are talking about people?
have you seen anything more disgusting than this?
Isaac White
Elijah Green
Juan Bennett
yeah looks like a typical soviet car
Christopher Johnson
Jose Fisher
>Gagarin died in 1968
>Melkus RS 1000 was produced from 1969
Did he got a prototype?
Caleb James
that's a shopped pic
Lincoln Williams
Noah Walker
oh sorry you said east german
yeah a typical east german car
