That particular pic is from Łódź (ŁKS grafitti for the local football team), city that fell under deindustrailization hard and as consequence it do looks a bit dilapidated, but most smaller cities and big parts of bigger ones looks exactly like this.
Btw that’s pre-socialist building, from style i would guess it’s classic “kamienica” from around 1900 plus minus 30 years.
And people blame that ^ on communism and/or Russia

Thanks for the info!
I recently walked past the former headquarters of the European Central Bank. Just 200m away the streets look worse than that.
It looks similar. Let’s be honest. Everyone condemns thr shape of the square.
It’s basically equating utiliarian square brutalism with oppression.
Taking nothing into account that such architecture is based on post war French and English architecture.
And for the soviets? If it works; they would use it.
