The recent award-winning book "Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed" by Frédéric Chaubin amazed us with its futuristic, beautiful discoveries. We took on a virtual trip to find out more about those structures and their present fate. Unsurprisingly, there is almost no coherent information available and whenever there is, it's the result of a single person's voluntary effort.
Help us learn more about those and many other forgotten wonders from the Soviet era. If you have any information about those buildings, heard stories of them or they have simply caught your eye and your camera lens, let us know! Our community will be grateful forever. :)
