You are very right indeed in what you mentioned above. Communism is a curse, that's one thing, and the second or even equally important thing from your post is that someone from a rich country can learn so much about life and death from someone from a poor country.
These buildings were indeed very beautiful constructions when they were built and after that well into their 'heyday', so to put it. Nevertheless, after many decades, it is truly sad to see how they ruined... Very painful indeed. We have the same situation here in Romania, with even older, historical buildings from the 19th century for example which were fortunately not completely erased by former Communist authorities, as others were...
That being said, switching to a more optimistic ending, I truly wish you all the best, much health, peace, prosperity, and a great remainder of this week. Last but not least, keep up the very good work here on HIVE! :)
Thank you for your response and best wishes! Indeed, communism was more cruel and destructive in Romania, as you you pointed out, unfortunately. It's the same situation with 19th century buildings which formerly belonged to aristocrats or industrialists and now lay in ruin mostly (especially in Bucharest, but in other cities and towns they have been consolidated to some extent). Anyway, fast forward during the 21st century we have to stay optimistic! Cheers, take care, stay safe, much health, and all the best! :)
