This reminds me of tunnels of Argentina. There is a law in Buenos Aires that tunnels must be pleasing to drive trough, so you will usually see this painted designs in bright colors, and sometimes even actual paintings of people or landscapes, right there in the tunnel so whoever is driving by will see it, for just a second, but its right there.
what a surprisingly fascinating project. i never would have expected such creative diversity within the context of structures as utilitarian as bus stops (particularly the remote ones). 4:14 looks gaudi-inspired to me.
bruce mcavae haha - that's probably because you've never read a book beyond grade 3 level. for those of us with uni educations, it's pretty normal writing. but i wouldn't expect a sheltered, undereducated, mind-controlled scientologist to understand that. you probably don't even know who gaudi was. sad. btw, who's the stalker again??? go caulk or play with your e-meter, scitard. i wouldn't expect you to be interested in anything as refined as architecture or art history...
It was very interesting clip for me because I have the same hobby to collect Soviet period bus stops images (and other) here in Estonia, started 11 years ago. Here are some bus stops examples, from hundreds, in clip made as music video: ENSV bussipeatused - History of the Estonian bus stops ENSV bussipeatused-History of the Estonian bus stops Under youtube user-account TALLINNAMEES best regards Tarmo
I remember these from my childhood. Overall I rly liked parts of soviet architecture. I loved fountains everywhere. The markets at the housing estates always had one. Brutalist architecture can be pretty in its own way
The USSR progressed from a 3rd world monarchical serfdom with a ~20% literacy rate and no roads to a global superpower with rocket technology and ~100% literacy in less than 2 generations. They defined and occupied the distinct niche of the "2nd world". Now there is no such thing. It is Western Europe, the northern 2/3 of North America, Australia/NZ, and pockets of Far East Asia in one camp, with everyone else having slid back into the 3rd world. Sure, there were growing pains and awful atrocities in the USSR as there have been in China, but it took America roughly two centuries to industrialize in the way Russia and China did. And the labor/suffrage movements in the U.S. and Europe have not exactly been a mallwalker's paradise.

I've hit the weird part of youtube again.
You and me both, buddy, we do be hitting places.
this is great ! ..great photos by christopher herwig !
Thank you, this is awesome we need more beauty in the mundane in this world.
This is very strangely intriguing
Lithuania was mentioned ✅️. Proud to be a Lithuanian American, hello my fellow Lithuanians 🇱🇹
Your pursuit of these unique bus stops is a cool interest and hobby to have.
Many of those structures HAD roofs before
also town signs are a big decorative motiff , usually every town, village or city has one
That's pretty cool not gonna lie
Wow! Amazing!

Soviet home vs Soviet Station/metro/bus stop

Really great, thanks

Go to one of the bus stops in the middle of nowhere and wait for the bus
I miss the Soviets.
I dont.
246alive . Thats because you've been brought up to only see the bad side
Seth Jones Besides appreciating Art, there isn't much good they did.
Feel like you're really milking 'they did space well'
