I love this kind of thread. It always attracts some guy who finds it necessary to point out that in the USSR people had to endure the absolute horrors of having roommates. I think I saw him phrase it as them having “survived” roommates once.
The blocks were built en masse with the exact purpose of escaping communal living that proliferated during rapid urbanization of the 1930s, so that connection is quite a stretch.
I mean, roommates are definitely a form of horror. For every well adjusted person out there, several exist that never learned to clean up after themselves or think of how what they do impacts another person.
Hell, there are a lot of people who actually take delight in the suffering of others. Imagine trying to convince your roommate to do the dishes more than once a month and they’re laughing at you.
Its not the roommates that bothers me it is the listening devices and constantly playing propaganda that is illegal to turn off, or forced “vacations” in labor camps for disagreeing with government decisions.

↖ Person unable to tell that ‘1984’ is fiction.
Or someone who knows what happens in places like the PRK, China, US, and other surveilance intensive states.
Sure. But that makes it all the funnier when someone voluntarily chooses to focus on the roommates to criticize the USSR.
