Thirteen former Soviet Republics. Nearly 90 astonishing structures. Frédéric Chaubin’s award-winning tour of late USSR architecture now redesigned for iPad, with original architectural drawings, an interactive map, audio commentaries, and exclusive video introduction.
In his book Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed, French photographer Frédéric Chaubin captures the eerie beauty of Soviet brutalism. In his quest to document Brezhnev-era architecture, he stumbled upon 90 Soviet buildings scattered across 14 former-USSR republics. The diversity and lack of a recurring theme across the buildings signaled the end of the Soviet Union.
