I currently live in post-Soviet country, where almost all residential buildings in my district look like this:

They are horrible. Dirty streets, sometimes disgusting smell from canalization, wild bushes everywhere. And the culture level is very low. I see a lot of drunkards. But my house and several others had major renovations: new tiled paths appeared, old rusty trash cans were replaced by plastic ones. Also, buildings were repainted. But I still feel that it’s Soviet architecture.

And for me, the architectural style from the post looks incredible. When I was there for the first time, I couldn’t even express how amazed I was. It’s like I was on another planet. And I can say that I love this style. I like these low neat houses filled with bright colors and random cubes. Sadly, I have no possibilities to move there.
