>>4156728>>4156827We still have a few villages that look like that, people really live there and the houses there were really built in the 19th century. Nowadays these villages have become tourist attractions precisely because they have mostly retained their 19th century look. There are only a few that weren't maimed by the soviets, and they're all located in heavily wooded areas. I assume this is because it didn't make sense for the soviets to establish collective farms in such remote and agriculturally infertile places.
