I have always loved seeing Soviet architecture on my travels through the former SSR's , in all its forms from Stalin's Empirical styles through time to as you say post modernism. The more brutal the better!
There was a documentary in the UK I think around about 2023/24 featuring your mayor, Vitali Klitschko, even then he was highly critical of VZ and his cronyism. I didn't want to believe it. The world still sees VZ as a war hero, but are there cracks appearing? Is it right to say Putin is correct when he has always said that Ukraine is governed by corrupt nazis?
We certainly do live in interesting times.
