It is an estate populated by the poor and underprivileged and those who have just got stuck. But it is a fine example of the kind of constructions that went up in the 1960s and 1970s in an attempt to ease the severe housing shortages. The endless panorama of concrete stumps was constructed from Soviet-designed prefabricated panels; similar developments can be found throughout the former Eastern bloc countries.
The estate is not spacial among this kind of development, but it is extensive and the effect of its forest of blocks is noticeably bleak.
Anyway, we enjoyed that kind of vision of blocks in the nature, not very usual in occidental countries, at least not in that wild form.
