Soviet city

Soviet city
Soviet city-planners were given free rein between the metro stops of Narvskaya and Avtovo in the city’s South- West. While not very cheery, this area has some fascinating things to see, including a school built in the shape of a hammer and a sickle (Stachek pr.  5.) There is even a giant mural on the front of Narvskaya metro, which says: “Proletarians of all countries, unite!”  What happened, we wonder, to the rest of such images? There is a statue of Kirov on Kirovsky ploschad, and there are plenty of strange Soviet symbols to decipher on surrounding buildings.
