Khrushchyovkas are actually different from what is typically known as Soviet blocks, because they were built up to five stories high and thus didn’t require large empty areas between them for sunlight to reach the lower floors. So the houses are placed closer together, with cozier yards and often plenty of trees right outside the windows. Living in that feels quite different from high-rises.
