>>2631284>The Soviets also had grand plans for their cities and look what happened. Just goes to show how totalitarian central planning doesn't work.>Western educationThat's why it was called STALINist architecture.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQHVS_IWKRQMost of these plans were abandoned after the huge fucking war which ravaged the country and people weren't very concerned about making pretty building.
After Stalin died, he was replaced by Kruchev who ruined everything about soviet architecture.
His plan was to build shit tons of cheap building to populate them with people. It's even fucking called "Khrushchevka", Soviets stuck with it because of how much cheaper it was to build with no effort.
If my memory serves me right, westerns did the same shit with brutalist modern architecture...
