Soviet leaders didn't actually live in Commieblocks? They had palaces and shiet, right?

They had "state" residences and "state" cottages, yes. Party elites had their own apartment complexes which you may or may not call commie blocks, though, pic related.

And this is one of the residences Gorby liked a lot.

Stalin was mostly living in his modest office, ofc. revisionists were basically bourgeois but that's beyond saying.

>>1220773
Yes if you're a communist

Stalin was a legit revolutionary, he shunned the trappings of wealth and lived very modestly. Later rulers went full despot tho, living it up in Tsarist palaces.
Some are more equal than others.

one of Stalin's "modest offices".
>>1220856
Still quite modest for the most powerful man in the world desu.
>>1220856
That is kinda modest for someone who is expected to receive hundreds of dignitaries. The house is meant as much for the staff as it is for the big man.
>>1220856
It's Gorbachev's dacha.

Here is real Stalin's dacha.
>>1220773
what's the point of forcing proletariat to live in commie blocks even if they're farmers but then you yourself get a palace?
> Handing out the bread is hard, I need a mansion!
>>1220916
> It's modest because he needs a lot of room for his slaves. That's less selfish!
Is this some kind of dialectical materialist logic?
Was Stalin a pedofile?
>>1221354
that's beria
>>1221354
Stalin was soviets god figure so anything like that would be covered up. Russians did release most of their secret documents from those times in the 90s so those documents would have revealed anything like that probably.
>>1221354
Hitler was a pedophile.
In Bulgaria the commie were laughing at how small the tsar's palace and residences were, so they build big as fuck mansions all over the country for themselves. Obviously the propaganda (as anywhere in the commie world) claimed they're oh so modestly living and part of the people.

People with power will always this power for own benefits, no less than 90% of them will do. That's why communism without purges doesn't work.

>dignitaries
>slaves
explain.
also, Gorby and his ilk are not representative of most of Soviet Ideology. Everything post-Stalin denounced Stalin and thus became utter shit

I really want to believe the tankies ITT are trolls but they probably actually believe the shit they post. The good news is no one will ever embrace their discredited world view again on a large scale.
