So, the said people, who were given apartments for free, are now complaining of their new apartments, given for free as well, most likely in much better conditions compared to the time of initial free housing received from the state? They complain that although the buildings that they actually own are in a condition that worsened (value drop) over time and have to be demolished (i.e. having a negative value) now, they demand to be compensated for some plus of value to which they haven't contributed in any way!? Did I got this right?

Well, nothing is free. They all pay them one way or another. It's just that this time they don't hold enough value for the system so they get kicked out. Simply said the wise guys got their properties. It's not really unusual in communist/ex communist countries.
