Travelers often ask me about unique, untouristy spots and things to see.

I will help you discover a totally offbeat, residential area, outside of the city center - where I actually live.

This is a place of Soviet giants with absolutely remarkable modernist, brutalist and stalinist architecture.

I will show and explain to you the meanings of numerous Soviet symbols, murals, statues and styles and tell you lots of interestings things about how life was organized in the past.

We will explore how Soviet architecture influences us indirectly through religion, mythology, philosophy and even masonry.

We will be detecting hidden messages and together deciphering allusions, plots, hintes and personalities featured on Soviet buildings.

If you like the topic of ideology, manipulation, symbolism, encrypted messages and are fond of monumental art and unusual architecture - this tour is for you.
