I don't know why westerners are obsessed with the Soviet style architecture. As a Latvian i find this to be a very depressing part of the Baltics which has to be eradicated asap. btw while in Esonia - Estonian Islands such as Saaremaa, Hiiumaa and Vormsi are a very good destination too!
"I don't know why westerners are obsessed with the Soviet style architecture". Yeah it seems to be a trend. For me, personally, I grew up hearing news reports about the USSR. We would hear stories that newscasters put together, nightly. I was exposed to those stories from a young age. We had globes with USSR in our schools. So we were getting all of this information, and stories about these far-off lands, that we obviously couldn't visit, and seemed a world away. But also felt close, because we heard so many of the emotional stories that the newscasters told us. The fascination for me was and is: to actually, finally, go and see these places that, while we were young, we knew about, but could only access through television and media reports. It was, in a sense, a big part of my childhood. Even though I never lived it. And the same would be true, I guess, for many other Americans as well who were alive during that specific part of history. For me, it's astounding and fascinating.
