Canned Soviet apartment

In Moscow, the dilapidated facade of the former Central Committee of the elite high-rise buildings and ministries tucked such little room "sleeping", if not a princess, the shock troops of the socialist labor. And for the most part in the center, where an inch of land is incredibly worth it. What makes their owners to blow dust from the Soviet (mostly Czech or GDR ovskih walls)?





Perhaps good fortune, in the past. Many of them, as if dropped from the current time. Could not fit.







This is the house where he lived during the Soviet petroleum engineer. He traveled the world, earned a cooperative apartment in a luxury house. Life is good, if the floor below the apartment is the daughter of a minister. Now in this apartment alone spends his age his wife. Trips abroad, lavish receptions products "acquaintance" - in the past all. So he lives as if the window all the same time.

Remains of the interiors in the Soviet another 20 years it will be possible to find. While alive owners. The heirs, came into its own, of course, first of all descend the situation in the waste container. Or maybe nothing.
The disappearance of the pioneering era from the generation who is now 35, more nostalgic than contempt and anger. And every time you get into a house, getting sadder and sadder. Pleasant longing for those moments of childhood, when you do not feel happy, "himself", and the whole world - a huge, sunny, good-naturedly Soviet. )
