This is fascist/communist dictatorship architecture. There was a Professor in our Honors College that would go on a fucking tirade about it whenever he saw it. It wasn’t even a lecture. I was working with him in his office and he just went off for 15 minutes about the Humanities building on campus.
For future readers, the emphasis was on, “Dictatorship” which creates oligarchical structures, only after which block housing was made, because the people in charge realized that their peons needed homes to live in to do the work for them. Sadly, we’re not there yet in the US.
Dumb ass take. This is the architecture of a country that guaranteed housing for every single citizen and industrialized in 40 years time. Good luck building housing for 1/3rd your population during industrialization without utilizing big blocks and panel construction.
Did your professor tell you about the walkability in USSR neighborhoods? Easy access by foot to green areas, sports facilities, medicine, shopping basics, childcare and education, and public transit?
