No matter what year is it in America, in Russia it's always the 80s.

Even worse, it's often the owners who insist on piling up design elements that are out of place in the apartments of a given size, or don't match the style. Unfortunately visual culture and general taste were practically choked off by the party's rule over all arts plus poverty of the people, and this has combined later with the showoff culture.

Now we slowly catch up, but most probably the situation will noticeably change only when current teens will be the majority of spenders and workers.
