In the occupied countries, which were not officially part of the Soviet Union - i.e., the Baltic states, apartments were mostly given for free to Russian citizens, not locals - Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians (which were considered "second class" citizens at the time of occupation). This has created a situation in the Baltic states where many locals still do not own their own housing, and are forced to rent, often from Russian citizens or their children.

Last renovated in 1982. When trucks drove through the street without permission (was forbidden), the glasses in my kitchen cupboard shook. I moved out seven years ago, nowadays the same flat costs almost twice as much rent and all they did was slap new paint on the wall and write "renovated" in the ad and idiots fall for it.

I can see many similarities: telephone plugs, antresola, radiators, carpets everywhere and the immortal doorbell that will outlive us all. Despite the fact that it wasn't state built, it has plenty architectural designs similar to that shown apartment. I find that quite interesting.

Though my childhood apartment was nicer due to my mother's obsessive cleaning, I stayed in a rental for 3 years in Bucharest exactly like this one. Horrible, horrible place, but living alone in a 2 room apartment with my own bathroom and kitchen for 100 euros per month was heaven. That place got me out of my college dormitory where I shared a room with 5 other guys. This kind of places are like gold to poor students.

I love it! Minimalist, simple, and modest! Definitely would live in one, preferably a Brezhnevka and not a Khrushchevka, but either one yes I would love it! Just for the nostalgia! And the price is the best part!

Any shelter that you can sleep in safely and stay warm out of the elements is a good deal at $150. But most of your issues seem to be cosmetic. Buy the supplies and fix it up. If your landlord won't you still have to live there and look at it. So quit complaining and fix what you don't like about it. If you don't know how, there are plenty of KZbin videos that teach you how to do almost anything. At the very least you can do a better paint job than that.
