Last time we had a look at some famous constructions of Kiev including a complex called Diamond Hill with cost of every apartment estimated at 2 000 000 US dollars.

A beautiful tower.

You should really not be climbing that stuff without safety harnesses – one mistake, one gust of wind, and you’re dead.
Russians and Ukrainians have no concept of safety.
Darwinian evolution in progress?
Harmony of Imperial Russian structures, communistic structures and some mordern structures…
Thats why russian and eastern european cities are beautiful.
You could tear down *all* the communist-era structures in *any* country and the city would look nicer. This is true in Moscow, Bucharest, Berlin, anywhere that the disgusting hand of communist architecture has touched. It’s really the ugliest buildings ever produced in the history of the world.
Judjing by your name u are american or british and probly dont know much about russia and ukraine other than this wbsite
Soliet arcitecture is severly based on 19 and 18 century arcitecture until the 80s
Dont judge my spelling this is what american school taught me
Soviet architecture is disgusting and in Germany we’re tearing it down as fast as we can. Berlin is so much nicer with the Soviets gone!
