Mystery Solved

Bought a book (yes..yet another one. I`m addicted. At least it`s more healthy and enlightening than other types of drugs) the other day. The 21st issue of Volume, called "The Block". This book deals with the topic (among others); Microrayon, transformation of the Soviet City under Capitalism. A Microrayon is a little "city" of its own, featuring everything you need to survive everyday life. Your home in a block, school, kindergarden, a store etc. The idea was to localise people, and prevent the need for private or public transportation. But after the fall of communism, people changed their pattern of living, and the system broke down. People moved away from the apartments/areas they had been allocated. They bought cars to get to work. And they built temporary garages, like these. On every vacant plot. This explains where the 3 million excess cars hang out.
