We were never part of Soviet World. Architecture of New Belgrade, is best described with two terms, Brutalism and Blocks. Brutalism was inspired by the famous French Modernist architect Le Corbusier and the name comes from the French term béton-brut (“raw concrete”). Therefore it cannot be called "soviet" architecture. Air Serbia (ex JAT) have never had a soviet airplanes. Not even one. After WWII they started with three Douglas C-47 Skytrains and three Junkers Ju 52's followed by Sud Aviation Caravelle's, Douglas DC-9s, and Boeing 707s. During the early 1970s, the first two of nine Boeing 727s arrived and were replaced with the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30. After came Boeing and Airbus.
