I’m writing this comment from one of them right now
Gen Z loves these.
Yeah we do, lots of them, I live in one. You can look them up on google street, for example in Vilnius in VilkpÄ—dÄ— or ŽirmÅ«nai districts and in Kaunas there’s lots of them in Dainava, VilijampolÄ— districts.
Not sure about those names, but if that’s not a picture in lithuania – yes, you could make exact picture there.
Usually a bit better looking than these, but yeah
First panel housing was Khruschevka in 1959 in Naujamiestis. It might renovated now though.
Brezhnevkas should exist, because we have a whole history from 1959 up to early 1990s of various models of panel housing. From 5 up to 16 stories.
Plenty. They were rumored to be housing for 30 years only but have outlasted some newer housing. They may have crude and uneven walls but they’re still standing while some newer apartment building have been built using shady business practices and compromising quality by cutting corners.
I wish we hadn’t
Yes, a lot! Frightfully depressingly still looking like it’s 1980 (actually, worse), despite of all the possibilities for renovation…
They’re fucking everywhere, but many places have been working on renewing the exterior. My grand parents are from Marijampole and a bunch of the buildings there have gotten a nice makeover so it doesn’t look so depressing
We have but for years they’ve been renovated one after another so they’re not everywhere to instill depression thankfully
That 40km/h speed limit is a challenge, not a limit.
You can find them in most cities on Google Earth. Look for very regular, close to the street buildings of particular size near the city center. Newer buildings are usually less regular and further from the street, often angled weirdly, and typically further away from the city center (newer regions).
Of course we do. You think soviets had architectural creativity? They had a film where whole plot revolves around a man trying to get into his “home” which is actually a flat in another city
Thousands littered throughout the country, even in small cities.
Unfortunately, they do.
They
And they actually gone past their planned life expectancy. And zero ideas where made at a strategic national level. Some are undergoing pretty chaotic renovation projects; chaotic in a sense that districts that were planned together have been parceled into small HOAs. But given the materials and quality of work during the soviet times it’s like giving a blowjob for a tuberculosis patient.
Of course. Plenty look quite nice right now actually. All the amenities you need and the rents alright. Some are getting updated thankfully with better looking exteriors…. Some really dangerous looking balconies though on some of them
A lot of them around me in Vilnius, but alot of them are getting better insulation and exterior finishing so you can find them looking quite modern in some cases. I really like the renewed version where they make glassed balconies out of the open ones and then they put these collumns underneath.

Yes. For example, here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/mUQaJXiVqptHK5FS8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mUQaJXiVqptHK5FS8)
