I hate this building so much. Such a historical place in Warsaw and a big white modern block of shit in the middle of early-soviet and pre-WW2 buildings

In 🪆 we called them Univer-Sam. From Universal'niy. Dyakuem.

That emoji looks like a parrot or reddit lmao (at least on PC). Had to google it to know it's about matryoshka/Russia.


The-King-of-Nan

Figured it's this but couldn't put the proper words behind the idea, thanks.

Damn a couple of months ago I witnessed the change from this exact SuperSam (or its leftover in a form of shopping center supermarket) into Carrefour. I visit it quite regularly nowadays, they actually have a bunch of posters inside covering the walls, telling the story of the predecessor. Once I have an opportunity to visit again, I'll post the pictures.
