Soviet Apartment Shopping
08/11/2023 Duración: 06minSo this is, uh, episode number, whatever. These things don't have episode numbers. I don't give a crap a shit. Why are you censoring yourself? Who gives a fuck anyway?

The houses, primarily from the 19th century, were quite basic. My favorite was a 1960s-era Soviet-style apartment block with four units. One had been renovated; its occupants were the staff of the house and park. Touring a staff member's actual living space must be peculiar for them, but it's a testament to the impact of good innovation. Upstairs, we entered a residence that appeared frozen in time since 1992. A newspaper heralded the "capitalism" sweeping into Parnu, featuring a topless woman on the cover. I guess more breasts suggest more capitalism? Yet sharing so openly could be seen as more socialist—free exposure for everyone.
