It was exactly like that where I lived in Rublyovo, just outside the Moscow Ring Road: on one side, 18-story high rises, on the other side, a village without flowing water in the houses.
Yes, and I’ve read that real estate operators are refurbishing the old Stalinist-era apt blocks inside the Ring Road and making a killing, either selling or renting them, also.
