“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 *

Frédéric Chaubin was the editor-in-chief of the French lifestyle magazine Citizen K for twenty years. Since 2000, he has regularly published works on architecture, combining text and photography, and presented accompanying exhibitions and lectures. He approaches his architectural research through a historical lens. After his CCCP collection research, published in 2011, he has delved into the remains of the medieval world, with his TASCHEN title Stone Age. Ancient Castles of Europe.
