There are more photos at the tweet.

Igor Vasilevsky's classic Druzhba Sanatorium (1978) in Crimea, designed so each room had a balcony view of the sea but privacy from the other balconies.

The building was intended for discreet treatment of Soviet elites, not, as with some Soviet mental health facilities, forced treatment of people considered Undesirable.

Like George Chakhava's transportation ministry building in Tblisi, Georgia, the Druzhba came from a period where Soviet architects were enchanted with the idea of building on steep land using massive columns to lift the whole structure. Creates a great hovering effect.

it me, in the parallel life where i became an architectural historian but somehow still ended up in Peoria

such treatment is only possible when the patient complies and cooperates

I think that's why Puyi was able to be rehabilitated, and why the USA had to say that American defectors in the Korean and Vietnam wars were brainwashed.
