    If you’re tall, then yes, it won’t be pleasurable as well. Especially sad because houses of earlier Stalin period were awesome. It doesn’t make Stalin any better, and he wasn’t solving the problem of overpopulation by building houses (sad joke), but the houses from tgat period are well built, have high ceilings, thick walls, sometimes nice things like second entrances and garbage chutes, etc. This was connected with the industrial and economical boom after the war (so, generally the same stuff that happened in the us, only in the us people got a bigger piece of pie).
    I converted the heights for you:

    • Khruschevka ceiling: 2,5m, 8,2ft
    • Stalinka ceilings - 3-4m, 9,8-13.1ft

      There is nothing to be sad because houses of earlier Stalin period were not for people, but for nomenclature.

          Each city had them but as guy above said, they were for the party members and you had to be decently well ranked to get a stalin style apartment. they were deff luxury.
