lasnamäe, the biggest district of tallinn. home to ~112 000 people (tallinn's population is slightly over 400 000).

majority of the residents are russians.


and...


there are 650 commieblocks in lasnamäe!




just a few photos, you'll get the idea...

and some views from my balcony:

nice, huh?

Man, you utterly rock! (or, should I say, punk )

I've been waiting original shots from Lasnamäe for ages. I suppose there isn't any change of views from the bridges that go above the multilane road that leads to Lasnamäe?

 

[ch1le]

well, not the prettyest of blocks in Lasnamäe, certianly not bad for such a huge area and for such fast development. I will make some photos of my district and other places soon enough 650 blocks? That is alot, pretty scary that Lasnamäe was originally planned twice as large at 250 000!!!!!! only 50% got completed and another huge road (like the lasnamäe channel) was planned on the road next to Song festival grounds!

 

[sander]

Great pics! Thanks. I hope that these buildings will be reconstructed, because this district is way toooo grey. I hope that you make such interesting
photo tours also in the future.

toni - the lasnamäe canal is just too far away from where i live... so unfortunately you're right, there's no chance of seeing it in the near future. unless some other tallinn forumers take some pics of it... winkwink!

martin - are there any nice commieblocks in tallinn? i want proof!

sander - everything i do is interesting! (keep yor eyes open during the next days)

 

[Mantas]

Awesome, some rarely seen shots from Tallinn :cheers:

You're on a roll, Jarmo! kay:

And I agree with sander: WAY to much grey in those buildings. I hope funds will be found to cheer them up!

 

[Gatis]

50 years in the backward, weird Sovietia are damn hard to overcome.

 

[Estboy]

kay:thanks for a little tour
I agree with Ch1le,that these aren't the prettiest blocks in Lasnamäe.
but most blocks look even uglier than these

damn I'm glad I movaed away from there

ou cmon sander.. when we showed Dreilini in riga with beautifull reconstructed commies u said they should be demolished anyway.. but in tallinn its good enough to keep em jsut reconstruct why so?

 

[ch1le]

mby he meant the half rdy commie ruins, opposed to rebuilding they ought to have demolished...

Oh, I was just a little bit disappointed of final result of reconstruction.

 

[Norxx]

[Dysfunctional]

Wee! I'm moving to Lasnamäe! Is it just me or does Lansnamäe really look like mini-Moscow?

 

[ch1le]

better then moscow..

 

[sander]

why so??? maybe share with us ure opinion what is wrong?? just wanna know ure opinion!

Oh, I forgot to say, just I don`t like colours of these buildings somehow.

 

[Norxx]

Thanks, WhoseHomepage!

 

[Whose Homepage]

^^ That's all I can see too, and it's probably because this is an old thread, Beta. If you look up to the beginning of the thread you'll see that Jarmo opened this thread in April; he has probably dropped those pix from his server since.

And welcome to flapflop! :cheers: That's a very nice link you give us. kay: Are you from Tallinn?
