In Russia pillars were also used during Stalin era in different Soviet Palaces and even regular houses. But before, in 19th century, in Russian villages there was also fashion for pillars and they made them of… wood. Like in the building on these photos.

      the house seems quite tilted, and the support penthouse is in bad conditions… would not sleep one night in that house…

      It is normal for old houses to have tilted angles. I used to live in a beach cottage with uneven door frames and floors. Each door was hand-cut after delivery to fit the frame. I thought it was fun- the crooked angles made the cottage more interesting and did not interfere with comfort.

      Wooden pillars are very common in America too, but they are usually carved and painted to resemble white stone.
