There's a rug on the wall. I didn't think they know what a tapestry is.

Wall rugs are hung for two reasons:
- Insulation, both for temperature and sound, back when other insulating materials were unavailable.
- If a rug is particularly expensive, they are hung to prevent them from getting dirty, especially if the owner's feet get dirty from farmwork.

There were a fair amount of formerly nomadic people in the Soviet Union and I'm guessing there was some cultural exchange

VGH the nomad spirit

But I bet the acoustics are amazing

the soviet apartments typically had cinderblock walls with no insulation and drafty mortar gaps. the heating systems were centralized boilers which usually were not operational/operating.

Soundproofing and insulation.
