| Well you know this joke about Soviet technical "miracles"?
Two friends meet. The one has very shiny watch on his wrist and is carrying two humongous suitcases.
- "You have very nice watch!" says the first man, "But are you travelling somewhere? What do you have in those cases?"
- "That's the batteries" | |

Country: | That was interesting. Funny how the bus-stops were the only Soviet era buildings with any real creativity.

There WAS A LOT OF CREATIVITY IN THE SOVIET ARCHITECTURE, but 90% of it was really, really kitschy...
It is usually called by the term Socialsit Realism, be it archuitecture, paintings, poetry...    | |
