Arseniy Kotov is a documentary filmmaker of Soviet monumental art of the XNUMXth century. For more than eight years he has been traveling around Russia and the post-Soviet republics in search of unusual objects of architecture, once inhabited, and now abandoned places, in order to see and capture the traces of that distant and bygone era, that large country that stretched from the northern icy seas to the hot deserts of the mysterious Central Asia, from the Baltic cities to the boundless taiga of the Far East. This book contains his photographs of Soviet monumental art - mosaics, drawings, sgraffito, stained-glass windows and frescoes, which were often used to decorate buildings in Soviet times. Now this kind of art is in decline, preserved only in church decoration, and the monumental works of the Soviet era decay without proper care and gradually disappear from the streets of our cities. Using numerous examples, the book shows how and why certain themes and plots began to predominate in Soviet monumental art, and demonstrates the most outstanding examples of the work of Soviet muralists.

The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
