A captivating journey through the remnants of the Soviet Union
The photographs in this captivating book capture the haunting beauty of abandoned places in the former Soviet Union. Once bustling buildings, now ravaged by nature and time, stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. From the remnants of the Soviet conquest of space to the Moscow Pioneer camps, from propaganda along the journey to statues of Stalin and Lenin, this report takes the reader on a journey through more than a hundred years of history.
From the traditional Moldovan houses to the ghosts of the Caucasian wars, and from petro-chemical factories in the Donbass region, the book offers a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of the former USSR. Terence Abela, the photographer behind the lens, has dedicated nine years to exploring the former USSR, unearthing fragments from its past. His deep love for history, his passion for photographing relics, and his insatiable curiosity have combined to create this remarkable work.
Driven by a strong desire to preserve the heritage abandoned by states that navigate between the threat of nationalism, dictatorship, wars, and the aspiration to forge a new history, Abela appeals to us through his photographs. He urges us to protect these mementos, which are at risk of disappearing in the not-too-distant future.
The photographs in this book serve as a powerful reminder of the rich and complex history of the former Soviet Union. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and contemplation, inviting us to reflect on the past and the lessons it holds. As we navigate the challenges of the present and future, let us remember the legacy of the Soviet Union and the importance of preserving its history for generations to come.
