Bielajewo, zwyczajne moskiewskie osiedle, powinno uzyskać status zabytku. To standardowe do bólu blokowisko wzniesione zostało w ramach wielkiego chruszczowowskiego programu mieszkaniowego, który rozpoczął się w 1954 roku — bloki i przestrzenie pomiędzy nimi są pozornie identyczne jak w tysiącach innych osiedli z tamtych czasów.

These community...
