Nothing dystopian and also fake. If it was really a picture from Poland, there would be a LED-green Żabka shop somewhere lol. My sibling lives in a place like this - you get a comfy flat, bus connections, shops, kebab and a lovely bazaar in between the blocks. Some people might not value this and post pictures like that, but it's miles better than any American suburbia.

It could be from the 90s. We had no Zabka and plenty of snow back then. But my gut feeling is that it’s not Poland. The balconies, row of sheds and hexagonal building in the middle don’t feel right.

Looks similar to an area of Minsk (Belarus) I stayed in, especially the sheds. I think these are Brezhnevki rather than khruschovki too (9 floors rather than 5 or 7 as I recall), which there are lots of in Belarus.
