Frederic Chaubin. CCCP. Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frdric Chaubin
Frederic ChaubinsCosmic Communist Constructions Photographedfeatures90 Soviet buildings throughout the former USSR, each built between1970 and 1990. It is a journey through time. With local exoticism, outlandish ideas, and a puzzle of styles,these weird and wonderful buildings are unearthly reminders of a fallen ideology.
“The wonderfully titled CCCP is the perfect coffee table book for unrepentant Marxists” * Huffington Post *
“...an eye-opening experience for those who assumed that Soviet architecture died with the rise of Stalin.” * The New York Times *
“…one of the most splendid of recent architecural publications and a revelation.” * Apollo Magazine *
“This book is an extraordinary achievement, and Chaubin’s haunting photographs only improve with looking.” * World of Interiors *
“A revolutionary read.” * Architectural Digest *
“Soviet brutalism is not something traditionally thought of as beautiful, but Frederic Chaubin’s stunning photographs should go some way to changing this. This book is a bold foray into an architectural period that is barely documented, either in the former Soviet Union or the west.” * The Observer *
