As it happens, Russian cities saw huge sprawl during the USSR, though probably mostly starting in the sixties. As is usual, the pre-revolution city centre is twisty and cozy, while around it are radiating straight avenues for kilometres. So sorta the opposite of what the headline says.
Eh, for all its faults Moscow has a fucking amazing metro+light rail system. All my friends who still live there aren’t even thinking about buying cars, because why would they?
They clearly never been to Moscow, they would love it though, a car hellscape.

Fair enough. But also still plenty of avenues that look like highways
There’s even a whole video game series about it!
