#39: "16-Lane Highway Built Through The Downtown Where A Market Square Used To Be In Moscow, Russia"

Again context is great. This was done to facilitate troop movements quickly in and out of the capital which proved vital in WWII as the soldiers from Siberia crossed Red Square in the May Day parades and went straight to the front lines to repel the Nazis. The French similarly built huge boulevards in Paris to facilitate troop movements and to keep people from being able to build barricades, which is a French national tradition.

modernism is good in that it can stop nazis, but it's also bad in how it disarms workers of the anarchic locality of street level tactics. :amber-snacking:
