I don't have possibility to see your photographs, but think one of them is Stalin's skyscraper in Warsaw? But why you can revere baroque, refusing the same Stalin's patterns?

I didn't realize there was such a thing as "Stalin's baroque".
Stalinist architecture strikes me as similar to Nazi architecture. Overblown, huge, inhuman. It has certainly little to do with baroque. If someone has any idea what baroque is, that is.

Nope, it is neo-baroque style.

Oh Brat, you don't have any specimen of Stalin's baroque buildings, may be except Treptov park.
