The vast majority of housing in the country is that type of housing, meaning that the vast majority of people end up living in it, willingly or not.

Soviet architecture is a byproduct of the material circumstances of the moment. The USSR industrialized at an unforeseen speed, took it less than 40 years to reach industrial maturity compared to 100-150 for Great Britain and Germany. They had to build housing for tens of millions of people in newly erected cities from scratch. They managed not only to do that, but to do it fairly, guaranteeing housing for everyone and eliminating homelessness, housing costing 3% of monthly income on average, and on top of that it was built in walkable neighborhoods with a wide variety of services nearby from stores to schools to medical care, and with top notch public transit and urban planning for the time, leaving space for green areas and playgrounds.
Nothing of that is authoritarian, you've been brainwashed by capitalism to hate socialism.
I find it hard to engage with these people without using ableist terms, I've settled on "purposefully obtuse" because it's clear and neutral enough I believe. Thanks for reading anyway
You can disengage now. You may or may not reflect on to which degree you're actually thinking by yourself or just vomiting mass-media by the fact that I pinpointed your country of origin based on two comments on Lemmy, I won't keep listening to you because I could just as easily listen to the same bullshit by turning on any state Estonian TV station. Have a good and russophobic day
"Russophobic"? We're not afraid of them
"Islamophobic"? We're not afraid of them
Literally MAGA discourse. I can smell Baltic right wing nationalists from a mile away.
so the audience does not come to a rational conclusion but a fabricated one
That's not how propaganda works, propaganda explicitly can be true information as explained to you before using the Wikipedia article. I literally quoted it to you, it can be factual information.
Mentioning atrocities in every single paragraph is the biggest case of atrocity propaganda, and if you are purposefully obtuse enough not to see it, just drop this conversation.
I gave you hard economic and historical data, what part of what I said is bad faith?
And what elections are you talking about, provisional government?
I'm critical of many aspects of Soviet socialism, not sure what you're talking about
