I posted a throwaway comment about the quality of eastern bloc construction on peddit. What happened next will shock you! (archive.is)

I do like looking at brutalist architecture, for two reasons. One is that it gives me massive nostalgia - I grew up in a neighborhood composed of paneláky and I have some memories I made among these concrete behemoths that I'm fond of, and two, brutalist buildings can actually look kinda cool, in the same way pictures of postapocalyptic future can. I wouldn't want to live there, but I can appreciate the... strangeness, I suppose.

Also to be fair, commie buildings were ugly but at least their planners left plenty of vegetation between them. Modern construction in cities is just as ugly, even if it's usually higher quality, but it's always a concrete wasteland.

This very thing makes Moscow such a livable city, even though with 20+ million people it's the biggest city in Europe.
