Soviet Bus Stops (29 photos)

Photo by Christopher Herwig

Over 12 years, the Canadian photographer traveled over 30,000 kilometers by car, bicycle, bus, and taxi across 14 countries of the former Soviet Union. All in the name of discovering and capturing the unexpected gems of socialist art that popped up along the roads – Soviet bus stops.
