Novostroika

Novostroika (Russian: новостройка, lit. 'new construction') are the modern panel houses being built in Russia. The novostroika retain the panel-house style used in the Soviet Union, but are taller, have 21st century amenities, parking, more colorful and decorative themes, and are built over a much larger area. These, however, are not government-built, instead they are built by private contractors on behalf of local governments.[1][2] An example of this is Kudrovo in Leningrad Oblast.
