Architecture from the mid-20th century has not stood the test of time. People didn't love her. This is especially true for ex-communist countries in Europe and Central Asia. The communist ideology, which flowed through all phases of life there, was imposed and consolidated through socialist architecture, among other things. This gave not only boring, but sometimes also extremely bizarre objects. Some of them are still standing 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Although architecture and art from socialist times were back in vogue years ago, this can be attributed to the "vintage" phenomenon rather than the fact that the architectural legacy of socialism she just needed time for people to love her. Architecture, which looked towards monumentality and classicism and which we first associate with boring apartment blocks, remains a weak historical period in architecture. But she gave it her all some bizarre cases and some of them are still standing.
