Soviet Cities

In recent years, our cities have changed significantly, and the architectural heritage of the Soviet period has not received due recognition. As a result, many modernist buildings have been destroyed, while others have become almost unrecognizable after reconstruction. Russian photographer... Arseny Kotov traveled across Russia and former Soviet republics for many years, photographing Soviet architecture before it was lost forever. From rainy Vladivostok to gloomy monolithic high-rises in Brest — Kotov conveys the atmosphere of the post-Soviet world, in these photographs we see what remains — the most outstanding buildings and structures where Soviet people lived, worked, and rested, and what Soviet cities looked like.
