On the heels of his bestselling Soviet Bus Stops, photographer Christopher Herwig locates fresh wonders of the Soviet vernacular in Georgia, Ukraine and Russia itself
After the popular and critical success of his first book, Soviet Bus Stops, photographer Christopher Herwig has returned to the former Soviet Union to hunt for more. In this second volume, as well as discovering new stops in the remotest areas of Georgia and Ukraine, Herwig turns his camera to Russia itself. Following exhaustive research, he drove more than 9,000 miles from coast to coast across the largest country in the world, in pursuit of new examples of this singular architectural form.
A foreword by renowned architecture and culture critic Owen Hatherley reveals new information on the origins of the Soviet bus stop. Examining the government policy that allowed these small architectural forms to flourish, he explains how they reflected Soviet values, and how ultimately they remained—despite their incredible individuality—far-flung outposts of Soviet ideology.
The diversity of architectural approaches is staggering: juxtaposed alongside a slew of audacious modern and brutal designs, there are bus stops shaped as trains, birds, light bulbs, rockets, castles, even a bus stop incorporating a statue of St. George slaying the dragon. An essential companion to the first volume, this book provides a valuable document of these important and unique constructions.

和第一册一起看的。讲到soviet，一般印象都是都市水泥丛林，而这本则着眼乡村之间的公车站。荒芜空间中的红色时刻凝固在一座座造型奇异站台的砖瓦瓷间，而开车追捕它们的摄影旅程格外有趣。
评分这些孤独的，破败的、陈旧的，布满时间痕迹的公共车站，像是一个个小小的墓碑遗址，人们来到此处，更像是在凭吊，凭吊一个红色帝国在俄罗斯大地上的共产主义遗迹。那些镰刀斧头标志，那些马赛克瓷砖拼接成的宇航员画像，那些关于社会主义美好生活的画面，都成了一种过去时代的尘埃，带着怀旧的气息，有些伤感，有些遗憾，又有些凝重。人们期待改变，但历史的循环又反复将他们带回原处。
评分这本的车站主要集中在俄罗斯，但论惊艳的程度，的确不如第一本
评分这个系列摄影最好的
评分牛！！
