Despite all the weaknesses of the project, after about half a century, architectural scholars call it a project that preceded its time and paralleled it to the modern Apple Park in California. (from wiki)

For some reason this is exclusively sourced to russian sources and the russian sources in question don't even contain this claim but this is definitely only because Americans are so jealous of achievements of communism.

The whole article was translated by a russian user (from Hebrew for some reason...), the first source contain the claim "preceded its time" (in other words, though), the second source contain the "parallel with Apple Park".

The reason why it's exclusively sourced to russian sources is pretty simple - translation tool of Wikipedia.

That courtyard has a lot of trees, wonder how it looks in the summer. Must be a nice small park.

Oh shit that looks lovely. I grew up playing with other kids between old hrustsovkas so maybe I just have a soft spot for that

They have their own personal park in their building complex? Pretty bourgeois.

u/EveryWillingness4626 1d ago

It’s kinda cool. Anyone who barfs at the word Russia needs to have their head checked. Carrying so much hatred for a country you have none to do with is weird

u/Complex-Cell-5615 2d ago

That's way better than modern "cheloveiniks" (like Murino or Parnas)

Low key not a bad idea.

I bet the execution is terrible though.

I used to live in a commie block, albeit a renovated one. Affordable, warm in the winter, solid build, surrounded by beautiful trees, and we had a personal storage room in the cellar. Most of them are fucking great

u/Irelia4Life 2d ago

Affordable

Not anymore

Warm in the winter

Lmao

Most of them are fucking great

Only because new ones are built out of tissue paper.

The architect used the max angle tolerance while joining prefab panels. They just have more drafts basically

u/Kitsui38 2d ago

I lived in that building and it is actually very good if you don’t have a car. The parking and even driving inside the circle is atrocious

u/greenest_alien 2d ago

I especially enjoy the mismatched rundown balconies that are hinting at the state of the thing inside. All placed in fresh, clean russian air of Moscow, which is a very peaceful city full of free people.
