Press [X] to doubt

Do you have any source that the USSR had superblocks like this?

They are called Microdistricts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdistrict

Not seeing a lot of evidence that this is similar? For example, the sections without roads don't necessarily look easily permeable to walk/bike traffic, which is a relatively defining trait.

Edit: well, in some sense yeah it's a huge block and thus a super block, but in terms of Barcelona-style super blocks with similar aims...
