My newest hobby is reading about Socialist and Brutalist architecture of the Eastern Bloc, and the publisher, Zupagrafika, based in Poland, has a great collection of works about it. “Concrete Siberia” takes you on a photography journey of the Soviet architecture of Siberian cities like Yakutsk or Norilsk. The book also includes city maps and very interesting explanations.
