A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

@Swedneck I live in a communist era neighborhood myself, so I know how it is to live there. It's generally great, but the execution of the buildings was rather poor (mine included). Some say it was for the better surveillance of the inhabitants, others say it was just rushed building. Whatever is the case, it's still not pleasant knowing that you risk being heard by all the neighbors when you do the most normal noise.
And I like Russian blocks as well, provided they are those Hruschocskas (or Plattenbeau?) that are 5 storey high or less. We have some as well. The areas they're in is generally really green with tall trees, so it's really pleasant.
We generally use the term "commie block" to describe buildings during that area, but I included buildings raised after the '90s as well because the developers try to eschew regulations when building, so their quality is even poorer sometimes. That's not to mean that all buildings during these times have thin walls or floors either tho.
It's great to hear that the buildings where you live were raised with more attention to details like these though. Probably if I'd visit/live in one a bit I'd change my opinion about our buildings from that time as well. 😁
