This is less of a case of “ugly building” and more of a case of “construction is ugly”.
The building is still not finished, and will look much nicer when finished.
Here is the building next door from the same complex of buildings. The new building will look the same since all buildings in that complex are supposed to look like that.
Conveniently, there are sufficiently many distinct geopolitical power blocks with developed internet services these days that for any given location, someone will not bother censoring it.
I can tell you exactly why it will look like. The building is from ЖК сокол and all the buildings will have the same color theme.
Somewhere around here. https://yandex.com/maps/org/khodaafarin_bridge/15001133281/?ll=46.954509%2C39.158735&z=13.64

If you look up Khoda Afarin on twitter after muting that Luke retard you'll see the news but I don't like ASB so I won't link his post here. Keep in mind that the Azeris reached this point on Oct. 17 and this rocket attack happened yesterday
If you haven't seen it, you'll probably like this. Yandex.ru does their own version of Street View. You can wander around Norilsk on a nice summer day.
You may also enjoy this street view of the city of Pripyat, town of Chernobyl (plus power plant), and the road leading to the edge of the exclusion zone.
OpenStreetMap says it's Lake Камыши,
Yandex maps says it's Lake Ozero Kamyshi
For unedited shots, here are some panoramas -
Also, note that the steam stacks are for district heating plants, not for factories as is commonly portrayed on reddit.
Of course, the thing is that foreign companies don't give a fuck about other countries' national security laws. Particularly those based in unfriendly countries. So Brest is entirely unpixellated on Yandex Maps for instance.
It is a French Navy base, with Yandex Maps there is no censored area. You can see submarines there. https://yandex.com/maps/109145/toulon/?l=sat&ll=5.912788%2C43.124239&mode=whatshere&pt=92.233333%2C11.55&whatshere%5Bpoint%5D=5.913450%2C43.122776&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=18.95&z=16.13
Recognising Crimea's annexation but not the independence of the nations from the 2008 war in Georgia doesn't make much sense. if they were an ardent Russophile, they would surely include South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It's not like there is a lack of this on Russian maps - https://yandex.com/maps/ for example.
Looks like cut trees and worn paths. I can't tell what it is.
If you'll ever be in Moscow, Russia. you can visit probably the biggest Streetpass meet-up (60+ people) that happens weekly. Each Sunday at 3pm here at Marukame cafe.
I would not call it largest by any stretch of imagination, the real largest bitcoin exchange in Russia is localbitcoins (or maybe BTC-E which already supports Dash for a long time). The MaRSe looks like a company which sells KeepKey hardware wallet and does a bit of off-line exchange on the side (in a very small office).

Location of this intersection, just in case.
Trees are very important. This place at summer but with "stick-trees":
A tip for people who would like to see Belarus on Street View: although Google has not gone there, Yandex (the Russian Google has gone to some places there, including Minsk), so you can take a walk through Yandex
There are 360 degree ground images of this train on yandex panorama! I’ll see if I can find them for you but I only have access to mobile at the moment. Yandex is an awesome resource for ground imagery of Chernobyl and Pripyat
Edit: Found the location and added the link.
~~Google street view~~ Yandex river view
Most likely you're seeing water lilies, duckweed or some other aquatic plant. The river is quite overgrown in summers as you can see in streetview. There is nothing in Yandex maps and neither anything at Bing maps. Historical imagery on Google Earth shows variating pattern of lighter spots, with the only consistent one being the white speck near the top of river, close to shore.
When searching for “GKB-29”, I was prompted with a Russian morgue/hospital.
I also found a review page for it, so the text in the corner is probably referring to a real place.
Тула, проспект Ленина, район Зеленстрой. Вот это место, если кому интересно. яндекс панорама
I think the view is from Griboedov Canal embankment by the bridge, not from the bridge itself.
Closer to the railing from this spot https://yandex.com/maps?ll=30.299354%2C59.920735&panorama%5Bpoint%5D=30.299354%2C59.920735&panorama%5Bdirection%5D=339.366760%2C8.808578&panorama%5Bid%5D=1254484507_626556242_23_1558163929&panorama%5Bspan%5D=37.037701%2C73.479042
Agreed. The neighbourhood isn’t amazing, but it’s nowhere near as bad as a telephoto lens makes is look. There are trees, the distance between buildings is reasonable (enough for sunlight to reach to lower floors, and there are green areas. The trees are still short but this will change in time.
This is one of the streets between the blocks of buildings. https://yandex.com/maps/?ll=41.902670%2C45.013085&panorama%5Bpoint%5D=41.902670%2C45.013085&panorama%5Bdirection%5D=258.797485%2C3.620960&panorama%5Bspan%5D=90.000000%2C90.000000&panorama%5Bid%5D=1323700988_774013292_23_1596704048
Dernekpazarı is located in Trabzon province in North-East Turkey.
You may click here for its location in Yandex maps
Oh Should I know every road in Russia. Definitely it's only place in Russia with awful planing.
Fact is Russia has very hostile environment.
I grew in this district. I remember many kids hit there because for Russins only important straight streets for cars.
How about Moscow diameters?
No he’s right the actual towers are about 2 km away. If you stand beside the monastery you won’t actually see anything.
I've been here 17 years and the closest I've gotten to military history in Germany is down at Constance where you can see medieval armour.
But, I found one by using the German *Weltkrieg" for World War and came up with this one. https://yandex.com/maps/org/140957114422/?ll=11.431444%2C48.760759&z=17
This one I found by typing Panzermuseum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Tank_Museum
Of course, you can go to the aviation museum in Bavaria and you will see some of the airplanes the Germans used in WWI and WWII.
This settlement is called Zapolyarniy and the large building in the background is a coal mine. Zapolyarniy is a satellite town of Vorkuta, and like most of the satellite towns, is mostly abandoned due to the coal mines, which are the primary source of employment, closing.
I actually added English translations to the streets here and in the entire Vorkuta region on Yandex Maps not too long ago:
Urban-type Settlement of Zapolyarniy Komi Republic, Russia https://yandex.com/maps?whatshere%5Bpoint%5D=63.73006155026965%2C67.49656001492927&whatshere%5Bzoom%5D=14.430032&ll=63.730595111846924%2C67.50123679070337&z=14.430032
Well there is yandex as an alternative to Google Earth. This is the TTR. https://yandex.com/maps/?l=sat&ll=-116.777943%2C37.801414&z=13.78 And of course Bing.
https://www.planet.com/ Had a free demo offer. I couldn't figure it out. But "The Drive" pays for their service.
probably not. If the government would concern about the privacy issues, they would not allow to drive street view cars by Yandex Maps or Belarusian company called Interfax either without automated blurring people’s face or license plate.
It's in Asia, but the continental divide is right outside the city, some 30 km. south or 45 km. west of the centre. The divide is designated by a number of markers, ranging in size from monumental obelisks erected by the authorities to humble stones and wooden poles put up by local enthusiasts. You can see a list and some photos on this page (in Russian), and I've made a quick map of all locations near Ekaterinburg, except the misplaced ones.
[Upd.] On the map, I've also marked Lake Chusovoie, which is curious in that it drains to two basins on two continents: to the south, an unnamed brook flows out to Chusovaia river (a tributary of Kama, further of Volga); to the north, another brook is the headwater of Patrushikha (a tributary of Iset, further of Tobol, Irtysh, and Ob).
If you're interested in higher resolution of the area you can try other imagery providers, example mapper.Acme.com
It looks like that link has newer imagery than google, it shows the Rainy River Mine.
Bing appears to use the same imagery.
Edit for more links to imagery in the area
I’ve made a map in Yandex maps for friends (I like architecture so there is a lot of places about it there)
Recommend to open it on PC and take a look
I’ve added Purple dots - monuments Blue dots - architecture pieces Red/Blue lines - walking route
Disgard the common letters: Alex ~~Burch~~ ~~ar~~~~d~~ ~~D~~~~ar~~ren ~~Burch~~ Remaining letters :a l e x r e n
Anagram: a l e x r e n -> real nex
nex means murder in Latin
3.Collect information: Darren posts obsessively about flowers. Flowers are the symbol of cemetaries. Alex posts obsessively about Mecidiyeköy. In Mecidiyieköy there are three cemetaries: an italian jewish, an armenian and a greek one. Darren posts constantly music. Greeks are well known for their music.

Bina hala duruyor, toya plaza olarak geçiyor.
Yandexten öyle gözüküyor
It is especially strange because Yandex maps have their panoramas from major Belarus cities

>If you get a chance to go back it would be great to get the map coordinates.
Seconded. OP mentions the area is blurred out on Google Maps but maybe it isn't blurred on https://yandex.com/maps/
for mahalle, it might be possible that they changed its name or it could be the informal name of the area?
I found Gerek Gerek Camii https://yandex.com/maps/org/gerek_gerek_cami/107187866693/ which is in Inonu Mahallesi... so it might be that area with a different name now
Yandex often has good coverage in that part of the world.
OpenStreetMap also has a surprising amount of coverage. You can print OSM coverage using MapOSMatic
The first one at at least is an active construction site. It can still be seen from on yandex's satellite images, but it's no longer like that on the panarama view: https://maps.yandex.com/?ll=37.542132%2C55.753367&panorama%5Bpoint%5D=37.542132%2C55.753367&panorama%5Bdirection%5D=200.500610%2C7.420906&panorama%5Bspan%5D=40.536083%2C80.000000
I couldn't find the location from which the second photo was taken.
Edit: Also, because I know someone will whine about the sleet and snow, pretending that it doesn't exist in other countries, here is the nearest street during the summer: https://yandex.com/maps/213/moscow/?ll=37.542132%2C55.753367&panorama%5Bpoint%5D=37.542586%2C55.752658&panorama%5Bdirection%5D=286.051661%2C12.566886&panorama%5Bspan%5D=120.000000%2C68.210438
TIL Russians have their own version of Google Street View.
> думал, там поярче будет. Нифига, даже там такая же тоска(
How? I clicked a random location in Saint Petersburg and it's much brighter than in OP's picture.
