Odessa Ukraine: Another Italian city

[renaissance12]

Odessa Ukraine, its historical architecture has a style more Italian than Russian, having been heavily influenced by Italian style.

Italians are good architects and scientists, but bad cowardly warriors. By the way, I don't like Italian chic in architecture. I like the Slavic/Scandinavian simplicity of the design. Therefore, there is Swedish furniture from Ikea in my apartment.

It's a Russian imperial city built from scratch, I mean I don't care what's the style it is, but the people who conquered, inhabited those lands, turned steppes into fruitful fields and Ottoman fortresses into European cities were Russians. Normally some things are superior that's why the father founders choose the best architecture examples of their century. It's my land.

Yes, I like this Finnish-Swedish building. This is a Russian village:

Russian imperial cities with stone made buildings and wide streets of paving stones came of shitty villager cossack towns with onion garden beds and mud/claw/wood houses, now Ukrainian rural nationalists are moaning about it, give us back our native values, we're helping them with removing infrastructure and electricity tho.

This is village, not a city. None of Russian cities looked like this. But in Scandinavia a fusion of city and village architecture happened due to lack of exterior cultural influence. That's why modern Scandinavian architecture is a mix of wooden buildings and block buildings, a huge gap between ages.

In Russia, too, there are small towns with one-story buildings. I don't think Stockholm is built up with wooden houses. There are such houses only in small towns. This is real Italian architecture, outside of megacities. This is how ordinary Italians live:

Looks like Napoli which is very extreme in differences, it has historical places and huge historical center and endless commie-like blocks at the same time.

As for Odessa, I like its dusty interior yards, some look more neat, some look not reconstructed for a century, but still dear to me. Center of Nikolaev looks similar. I lived in Bogoyavlenskoe, a distant part of Nikolaev with 90% of private housing next to the Southern Bug river from 3 to 14 years old and my aunt lived back then in the very center in Odessa like house from 19 century. I loved this area a lot.
