Infamous Brutalist building in Russia to finally be demolished

There are uglier buildings.

It was modern building in its years. Russia make the beautiful building all over country! People have pride. We are proud country! 🇷🇺 🤡

What, no interior shots?

Love it!

It's so ugly I almost love it, like a hideous dog you want to adopt.

San Jose, Calif is arguing with itself about whether to preserve this tedious example of Brutalism. Aptly named!

Anyone who lives in Suffolk County LI thinks this is better looking than Stony Brook University Hospital.

R5, Brutalism has that effect on me too; it's so bloody ugly that it can't help but draw your eye and fascinate too.

I love Brutalism. Sad they are going to destroy it.

R9, that's a brutal assessment.

It's like a half-finished game of Jenga with cinderblocks.

Boston City Hall has to go, but some of them are nice.

R6 That is at least coherent, well-balanced, and strangely captivating.

The one in Russia, in OPs pics. Well it looks heinous from some perspectives, like this vast plaza. Why didn't they ever finish it and use it?

From the garden side it has potential.

It could have been finished and used by collectives, or students or artists. Germany has converted bunkers and shit like that - alternative types don't mind making something liveable out of atrocious structures.
