Because of how fucking sideways their country is

It was a soviet habit, novadays people usually don't do so.
There were three reasons why people were doing so:
1) Carpets were expensiv, so people wanted to put them somewhere where people won't step on them and damage looks of them, and where people will be able to see them.
2) Better sound-protections, cuz walls were often thin.
3) You can lean against the carpet on the wall and it will be much softer and warmer than if it was just wall.

They are Muslims

>soviet habit,
it's a turkish habit
Nathan Fisher
I don't think that we got that habit from turks. We had like 500 years of contact with Turks, but we began to put carpets on wall only like in 60's and stopped doing so in 00's
Adam Taylor
I never saw anyone do that.
Landon Adams
To hide the ugly cracked walls of their commie blocks.
Austin White
We already have wallpapers for that, so nah.
Logan White
Carpeted walls make the room look quite cosy to be honest
Levi Williams
Yeah, but you have to put some effort into cleaning, or it will be all dusty.
Gavin Lopez
Those are traditional Persian/Central Asian carpets, they hang them on the walls, too. And since Central Asia was a part of USSR, it got popularized in other soviet republics.
They were also used as insulation since soviet apartments have shitty thin walls.
Adam Peterson
Having to wash and vaccum that whole room seems like a pain.
Bentley Adams
Why do Russians have such a bad taste? Painting your walls with a single colour is not an expensive option, and it would immediately improve most these flats.
Tyler Sanchez
Cossaks adopted that form t*rks and other churkas. Putting carpets on the walls with sabres and pistols and shiet.
Joshua Mitchell
People didn't vacuum them, but beat them out otside.

Must have something to do with insulation and soundproofing. I'm thinking of doing this in my apartment so my brother and I can have loud band practice again
Samuel Myers
Isn't it Persian?
William Murphy
Probably has something to do with heat insulation. If you carpeted all your walls your room would probably stay warmer for a longer period of time. Thus, it's cozier and you have to spend less money on heating.
Adam Harris
Just Russians and their kin. Bulgarians are just as confounded by this as you are, but like it's been pointed out ITT already, there were legitimate reasons for doing this.
Chase Fisher
It's for sound insulation, not heat. We have centralized heating here, and it's cheap af.
Joshua Gray
I think only Russians do that
Eli Ward
>Centralized heating
As in, government owned?
Grayson Phillips
Blake Baker
Yes. So that's why it's cheap, but not very good. They turn it on late October and turn off in April, but it's not fucking enough, it's already cold in October and still cold in April. Also they've accidentally turned it on recently in one of the sities, so people had almost died cuz it was 30C outdoors and 40C indoors.
I wish we were able to control our heating and turn it on and off when we want.
Zachary Gray
croats are not slav
Carson Miller
i honestly can't tell if you're joking or not
Jacob Anderson
what why the hell would you think that i am joking
Luis Barnes
i still can't tell. hmmmm
Wyatt Anderson
just explain what exactly here looks strange or like a joke
Samuel Foster
ok

Look.
There is a building somewhere in the city with huge boiler room.
They are warming water out there and sending it to the entire city through tubes.
So, this warm water flows through tubes and fills the radators that we have pre-installed in our houses, in every room (picrelated).
Those radiators are getting warm and make everything around warm as well.
When it's time to turn off the heating, they just stop sending warm water.
Parker Wilson
lmao
Ryan White
Are you retarded or anything? Just asking.
Charles Martinez
woah on second thought hanging carpets on walls does look /fa/
Sebastian Bennett
the "lmao" response is a paraphrased "oh ok, he is joking"
Ian Smith
what exactly is wrong?
Of cource, it you are living in your own house, you usually don't have such thing.
Levi Adams
nah, it looks absurd desu
Carson Flores
says the nord who has been brainwashed by american imperialism
Thomas Reed
They can't afford wallpapers
Ayden Powell
There's centralised heating in Bulgaria as well; some people are opting out of it since it's not effective at all, but at the same time, they're kinda expensive and people feel like their pockets are being gouged out of money.
Does this really sound alien, or like a joke to you?
Chase Roberts
but everything he said is true, wtf dude
Joshua Brown
So it would be easier to find slav porn online by looking at thumbnail.
See a carpet? - That's a lav porn, alright.
Nice.
Alexander Roberts
nah i guess it makes sense. we have centralised vegemite tubes in our apartments (in queensland at least), in which the state provides everyone in queensland with a hearty vegemite-full breakfast every morning.
Adam Ward
All his "lmao`s" and "hmmmm`s" you mean?
Christian Torres
>mfw first worlder can't believe in our centralized heating system
Evan Allen
sorry for some reason i thought that you're talking to me
i am probably retarded

Because Turks did it, so Russians followed.
Russians copied everything from Turks.
