yeah I did some digging and one of the earlier posts I found of this was back in april 21 and it was much smaller. Definitely seems to be upscaled. Certainly looks fake when you zoom in on this. The Soviet flag actually looks worse in this compared to the other image I saw.
Look at the other pictures posted in this comment thread. The picture OP used was a particularly terrible version of it for some reason, there are other versions that don’t look nearly as bad.
Lmao could this be more AI generated
I’ve seen this reposted many times over the past decade. I suspect the image is older than realistic ai generated images.
so this image is a window into the past
This is an old photo. So yes, it could be more AI generated
It looks like it was ai upscaled. Zoom into the letters or the rounded corners of the picture. It’s easier to spot that way.

People out here downvoting the implication that this is an artifical image. AI or poor photoshop, this is shaping up to be a real reddit moment.

What makes you say that?
The bricks are throwing me off, but it could be the camera quality.
