A bleak, foggy Soviet-era apartment block courtyard with a playground, old cars, a bare tree, and a bench.

A Soviet-era apartment block courtyard in daytime. The scene shows a cracked playground with rusted swings and a small carousel. In the foreground stands a wooden bench near an old car. Next to the bench is a Soviet-style street lamp shaped like the letter “Г”. A single tree grows in the courtyard. The five-story gray panel apartment buildings are arranged strictly front-facing, like in a closed rectangular yard, not angled. Each building has clearly visible entrances with small concrete canopies (roofs) above the doors. Balconies are placed away from the entrances. The atmosphere is bleak, muted, and heavy, with a sense of stillness. See more
