Major repairs: Minsk vs Berlin
There are hardly any cars parked in Berlin yards but you can find dog toilets there. Euroradio has compared Minsk Partisan District to Berlin Hellersdorf.
Hellersdorf is situated in eastern Berlin. Concrete slab building used to be built there before German reunification. Hellersfdorf was a sister district of Minsk Partizan District back then.
The blocks of flats have been rebuilt.

8 billion euro was spent on the repair works. We headed for Hellersdorf to look at a few yards.
There are no cars and you can see flowers everywhere. There are no people in the yards - they are probably at work.

Let's compare the Berlin district to Minsk Partisan District. There are trees and flowers but no major repairs have been conducted here for over 20 years.

I noticed workers in one of the yards. They have been conducting repairs ether... since 2010. 14 blocks of flats are being repaired in Partisan District now.
It takes one week to repair all the flats in one stairwell in Berlin. And it takes a few days to repair the services in one flat in Minsk.
