I hate how when there is any picture of Soviet blocks it's always shot in autumn or winter when it's overcast. I live in an ex Soviet country and when these bad boys are maintained they can outperform new apartments, be it in functionality, amenities or price.

To me this adds a lot to the charm. I'd love to live there (at least for some time)!

Kruschev housing outperforms new apartments? That's the opposite of what we see of Russia in North America.
