Arseny Kotov is a documentarian of 20th century Soviet monumental art. For more than eight years he has been traveling around Russia and the post-Soviet republics in search of unusual architectural objects, once inhabited and now abandoned places to see and capture with his own eyes the traces of that distant and bygone era, that great country that stretched from the northern icy seas to the hot deserts of mysterious Central Asia, from the Baltic cities to the vast taiga of the Far East. This book contains his photographs of Soviet monumental art - mosaics, drawings, sgraffito, stained glass and frescoes, which often adorned buildings during the Soviet era. Now this kind of art is in decline, surviving only in church decoration, and monumental works of Soviet times are deteriorating without proper care and gradually disappear from the streets of our cities. The book uses numerous examples to show how and why Soviet monumental art became dominated by certain themes and subjects, and demonstrates the most outstanding examples of Soviet muralists.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
