The "monumental" works of Stalin era are monuments of sheer cruelty.
When you go to Moscow metro, think think how many people had to die building it, repressed while building it, robbed while building it, starved while building it for you to see that beauty.
Had I had a way, I would've ordered all and every piece of Stalinist work to be scraped off, and buried.
You don't see foreigners walking ogling at Svastikas in Berlin metro. It all was meticulously demolished, bulldozed, scrubbed, and buried.
