That existing apartment building (in Javier's photo below) is classic Stalinesque.

There are '3' existing apartment buildings in that photo--not 1. Calling them Stalinesque or Stalinist is a stretch. The urban form here and mixed use composition of the different buildings is a lot more varied than Soviet-era housing blocs baked in, at least in the mid-century.

I get that you mean the aesthetics, but there's also the fact that these units are probably way better than the typical unit in Soviet housing blocks...

These units will obviously be larger and have nicer amenities, but the average brezhnevka will outlive any of these pulp buildings.
