From the shores of the Black Sea to the endless Kazakh steppe, the bus stops of the former Soviet Union comprise a varied and exciting architectural document of an era. Photographer Christopher Herwig has covered more than 30,000km by car, bike, bus and taxi in thirteen former Soviet countries discovering and documenting these unexpected treasures of modern art. The book represents the most comprehensive and diverse collection of Soviet bus stop design ever assembled from: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Georgia, Abkhazia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Writer, critic and television presenter Jonathan Meades contributes a foreword.
