Story

This is a "stalin's house" built in Mariupol in 1954. Joseph stalin had died a year earlier, but by inertia such houses were still being built for some time. Officials of all ranks did live in such houses in the centers of soviet cities, and many of them have memorial plaques on them. After a while, the era changed & the soviet union began to mass build squalid paneled boxes "khrushchev's houses" named after nikita khrushchev, who came after stalin. In addition to the disgusting quality of materials & poor layout, there was one important feature - new apartment buildings were built without bomb shelters.

Surprisingly, it turns out that one of the worst tyrants of mankind built strong houses with safe bomb shelters in which 68 years later innocent people will be hiding from the bombs that will be dropped on them by russian followers of stalin while being accused of nazism. How surreal is that?

Please read an article from Associated Press about the heroice defense, destruction, and tragedy of Mariupol city: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-world-news-government-and-politics-1a3677fb5faf3388b7f2d1a165caccd5

I'll retake this wideangle shot when I arrive in free Mariupol. I can't tell you the exact date, no one can, but I believe that it will happen soon. Please read the manifesto of this project on my website to find out why this project is so important and how it can help people who suffered from "rashism": https://www.lifedeathandresurrection.com/
