Buildings in the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact contries during the Cold War were often constructed with an ideological bent in mind: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planning_in_communist_...

built by the government during socialist times, and built in the same was as pretty much all the other socialist buildings were built (reinforced concrete or from premade concrete blocks). A bunch of our cities were built during the socialist era, and pretty much all the buildings look the same, and some things (especially parking garages) are actually the same all over the country.
