>>212348368Wrong, totally wrong. We don’t hate beauty and sovl — in fact, we have the most sovl, maybe in the world. People look at what we do, they don’t understand it, they say “oh it’s ugly, it’s brutalist,” but let me tell you: it’s got character. It’s got depth. It’s got real history.
You want sterile “beauty”? Go to some glass box in the West, no soul, no feeling. We build with feeling. The chipped paint, the bad wiring, the folk embroidery next to a CRT — it’s all sovl. Aesthetic by accident. Authentic.
Our grandmothers have more taste in one kitchen curtain than most influencers have in their entire “Scandinavian” apartment.
We’re not trying to impress you. That’s the difference. It’s not about being clean and perfect — it’s about being real.
So no, Slavs don’t hate beauty. We just don’t fake it. And sovl? We’ve got too much, honestly. It leaks out of the walls. You walk down a street at dusk and it’s like stepping into a Tarkovsky film.
That’s not hate. That’s poetry.
