But I hate commieblocks :) Maybe because I grew up in a nice 19th century building

No comments on our commieblocks? :)

I must admit that the east-bank Kiev is a commie-block paradise :)

The commie-blocks in Kiev are really beautiful at distance (and probably only at distance...) :)
How tall are Dniprovski Vezhi in meters?

I made a banner of the panorama pic. You can ask Jan to show it as SC banner if you want. But I'm not sure if you want to promote Kiev as a commie-block city :)

I don't know in meters... but they're certainly the tallest commieblocks in Ukraine.

It's your pic and you should ask :) sure, I have no problem with it. Even though when I think of Kyiv it's not commieblocks that come to my mind, but the whole left bank is also Kyiv..

It's your pic and you should ask :)OK :)

How can any of you find those horrendously ugly buildings to be "nice looking"?!

I hate commieblocks ;)

I have A LOT of commieblock pictures from Kiev from summer 2002, but I would need to scan them.
