Love it! Never been to the former USSR myself, sadly, but we did go to Cuba, and they have their own unique take on brutalism. Every bus shelter was a unique construct, like an art placement. The hotel we stayed at was originally a Soviet workers vacation retreat, looked like a giant Transformer!

Whoa. Same, haven’t been further east than Slovenia myself. Did stay in a hotel in former east Berlin that was pretty much unchanged since before reunification and it was wild in there. Bucket list: the torres blancas apartments in Madrid...

My dream visit right now would be to see the Monumento Buzludja in the mountains of Bulgaria:

Wow, yes. Those architects could really work it.
