That’s a lot of trees, is that real? I’ve seen photos of blocks like that and they never had that much trees, though always considerably more than any western suburb.
The angle and season are determined by what the photographer is trying to convey, the quantity of trees is determined by the greenspace allocation/landscaping budget.

Yes, it’s the Матвеевское neighbourhood in western Moscow. Most Soviet neighbourhoods are a little less forested than this, but not by much.
You can look this up yourself! Just go to an aerial view of any soviet looking neighbourhood in any eastern block country. Random example from Kazan:
Trees pretty much surround every building block
Most of them weren’t this nice but this is a real one. Probably just a bit old and therefore filled out foliage wise
That’s incredible then, it would be great in the summer time

Picture is probably from much more recently im sure there’s trees around the suburbs now too
