Soviet Paradise, Khrushchyovka and The Million Program

I love the architecture of Russia, it’s amazing in many ways. From the storylike to the Soviet Khrushchyovka / хрущёвка. I really like ”project apartments”, they’re needed and has given people homes. In Sweden they’re called The Million Program, which was a building program back in 1965-1975 because of the housing shortage. Today in Sweden it’s housing shortage, it’s hard to find a place to live if you ain’t rich and can’t pay 1000€/month, mainly in the bigger cities though. It’s very sad that it’s so hard and expensive to even get a small apartment.

Anyway, I saw this documentary about Soviet architecture and was like Wow amazing I want to share this on my blog. Architecture and art is something that really interests me and I feel like Soviet/Russia’s architecture is very special. I would really like to visit Russia and see everything with my own eyes, feel the Russian vibe.
