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! :)

They are beautiful old buildings that could be made beautiful again, but will it happen? Thank you for posting.

Много хубав пост! Както и снимки!

That is such a beautiful design. But due to no renovations it lacks it's full glory. I think people or the municipality should take steps to preserve this cultural heritage of the city.
Thanks for showing us this old forgotten beauty.
Have a great day @soulsdetour
Also, Are you from Belgium? I was seeking to pursue my masters there, Is the place welcoming and great to stay n study?

I understand my friend, thanks for your concern.
I hope the buildings should be preserved. Keep on showing your experiences. :)

I also believe in the inevitable, that humans will come to pass or mother Earth will come to pass, either way, humans will come to pass, only time will tell.

Well said, all we can do is hope for the best.

Such an interesting post. I don't think it would talk too long for most human artifices to be wiped away by time and nature. Your post certainly demonstrates that.

The communist era has been a rather wild one, to be sure. What might have started as a philosophical idea based on wholesome principles, ended up as an artificial replacement for tyranny, by most accounts. I suppose we will see what happens next...

Cheers!

You are very right indeed and it is a vicious circle and cycle some countries really have to step out from for good (mine included)!

Some old building age quite well and still look good but others need a bit of TLC and can look great again myself I still love the old school building they have so much more character. 👍

Time to vote for lovetheclouds again if you don't mind popping over there and putting your votes in. Thank you @soulsdetour have a great week 😊
