This is Tsar era, not sovet. This was build before the revolution and closed and abandoned in the sovet period.

Beautiful shot

Trully beautiful. How come this doesnt work as a hotel or something?

might look like an town-hall building. they were a very healthy nation, but with a grandoar embedded in their blood

I can picture the extraordinary beauty of the past !!!

This was once a building with real class !!!

Oh my, how beautiful it must have been.

it is said, to restore is not worth the cost, therefore most incredible buildings are destroyed, sad !!!

I would love to spend time here! So peaceful and serene!

They loved color and made a lovely difference, as well as the gorgeous ceilings !!!

Wow! Still beautiful

Great shot! Beautiful use of blue colour

How could this be abandoned? This must be restored or something

I especially love arches. doorways, and windows, these days you seldom see any, too many square designs !!!

I just love the composition of this and of all these photos. Really nice.

With the world running out of antibiotics, tuberculosis, which was the number one killer up until the 1940s, is once again gaining ground. The BCG vaccine was first used on humans in 1921 in France, but it was not until after World War II that BCG received widespread acceptance. Streptomycin, isolated in 1944, was the first effective antibiotic against tuberculosis. To any anti-vaxxers reading this: I would not be writing this unless I had wilfully let doctors poison me. It almost killed me, and that is how come I am still here. Make fewer children, but take proper care of the ones you have!

the more you look at the more like a painting it looks

Excellent shot !!!

Such a terrible waste !!!

This is a beautiful shot, sharp with good colors !!!

The typical charm of Soviet architecture

Skeletal remains, metal and concrete !!!

I dunno why but this looks like it could be called like "War in theatre" I know someone could come up with a better name, but the way the wall in the back is damaged, making it look somewhat outta focus looks screenish to me. As if you were sitting in this hall and the projection screen just decayed before your eyes and burned from the middle to the outside. As a metaphor for all the s**t that is just crashing and burning in the world right now.
