Soviet Bus Stops

Photographer Christopher Herwig
has covered more than 30,000 km
by car, bike, bus and taxi in 14 former
Soviet countries discovering and
documenting these unexpected treasures
of modern art. From the shores of the
Black Sea to the endless Kazakh steppe,
these extraordinary bus stops show the
range of public art from the Soviet era
and give a rare glimpse into the creative
minds of the time. The book represents
the most comprehensive and diverse
collection of Soviet bus stop design
ever assembled from: Kazakhstan,
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia,
Abkhazia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia and Belarus.
