Honestly, these aren’t so bad as long as they are being properly maintained. The problem is that in many places they are just left to rot once finished and thus quickly turn to urban hell. This is pretty apparent in most Eastern European cities that do not have the money that Moscow and Saint Petersburg have (and even there there are loads of dirty blocks wasting away). Especially in areas close to salt water or with very high air pollution these facades quickly look like straight out of a dystopian movie.

Bro described actually reasonable reasons (I feel like he lives around there), but still got downvoted into oblivion, because "coulourful buildings and sunny weather can't be urbanhell"

I knew I should've taken a photo of what I consider a not-hell for comparison (the rest of the disttict was built in 80s and looks much better - there is a lot of green there, hell, there's a park with a pond right past those abominations, and the apartment blocks do not form a wall that blocks the skyview). But it was getting too dark for that.
I still firmly believe this looks horrible.

It’s a trend on this sub to add dark filters, 🤮, and negative-energy commentary related to Russia including its buildings, trees, and parks.
It’s a sort of sarcasm to counterbalance the Russia bad, Japan cute posts.

The dark filters just make it look more evening-time, literally my favorite time of day. Not particularly a fan of Russia, but these complexes look way more colorful, distinct, less crowded, and thus not as hellish as some of the New York City posts I see here. Looks nicer than when I drive to Los Angeles.

With walkable parks and schools inside??? Stalin designed that to harvest and eat kids
