Christopher Herwig, that's who, and here are the fruits of his labours. The result is one of the most endearing and eye-opening photo projects you'll ever see. Designing a bus stop really is architecture on its humblest scale. And yet, and yet.. time and again, Herwig's photos reveal the envelope-pushing, genre-defying imagination and brio that Soviet architects devoted to this most mundane of tasks in the 1970s and 1980s. The range and diversity of design approaches here is little short of breathtaking, from the modernist to the brutalist to the vernacular to the stark staring bonkers. It's clear that, for architects at least, freedom of expression was alive and well and flourishing in the USSR during the grim years of Leonid Brezhnev. Equally bizarre is the location of these extraordinary creations, many of which appear to have been plonked down onto the most desolate steppes by passing flying saucers, and then abandoned to the elements. The loneliness and dilapidation of these structures only adds to the note of melancholy that pervades this book, undercutting the initial laugh-out-loud impact some of the photos. If you loved Frederic Chaubin's magisterial CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed , this would be a wonderful companion piece which you will unreservedly enjoy. Otherwise, it would make a mavellous Christmas present for any leftward-leaning, design-savvy hipster with a nose for the bizarre. Warmly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Soviet Bus Stops - Soviet Bus Stops: Volume II - Soviet Metro Stations --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/50064427-soviet-bus-stops](https://www.desertcart.at/products/50064427-soviet-bus-stops) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
