How exactly did the faceless tower block become the inspiration for contemporary Russian visual culture?[...]
Large estates are like fractals, or a space created by facing mirrors. Building 8 is exactly the same as building 14, and its young inhabitants must perhaps have the same preoccupation: to someday acquire a similar cell in one of these purpose-built units around town. Can creativity come from places like that? In contemporary Russia, somehow, it does.

I really want one of those sweaters, to give to my husband who loves cold.
That said I didn't find this article very illuminating. It's a very limited view of vast, vast parts of an enormous city.
