Early 1990s Mass Public Housing

Architecture: some fine examples of the early 1990s (carry over Soviet) mass public housing, provided free too somewhere in Moscow.

 

These are what is crasily known in English as large panel system-building or by its German name Plattenbau although they were first built in the Soviet Union.

Built in 1994.






I love them.





 And at close quarters
