Almost all this architecture was built in cities founded by Russian tsars... Ukraine is artificial and failed state and I'd like it to disappear soon

Kiev's ghost town development:
Vozdvyzhenka was conceived of as a desirable luxury community for Kiev's high society
But the 2008 financial crisis choked demand for upmarket housing in the Ukrainian capital
Built in mock 19th-Century style, it was ironically built over a genuinely historic neighbourhood
Prominent architect slams developers and says their estate will never be fully occupied

Odessa was Italian (Genoese) before becoming Russian. So give it back to Italy if you want to balkanize that country!!
Let's do a referendum and let's see with whom they want to stay
Some Italian architecture in Odessa include:
OPERA THEATRE
The famous Potemkin stair, made famous by Ejzenstejn, was built by Italians, it is not Russian at all!
Many palaces were also built by Francesco Boffo (russified in Frank Karlovic), who was not Russian at all.
