Panel buildings in Russia
In Russia, the systematic construction of large panel system buildings (Russian: Панельное домостроение Panel'noye domostroyeniye, romanized: Panel'noye domostroyeniye Panel'noye domostroyeniye or panely dom) began in the former Soviet Union and continues in modern Russia to provide fast and cheap housing. This approach was first implemented in the Soviet Union to address housing shortages, leading to the development of standardized series of buildings.
