  1. Krasnodar - Rain

    rmwahlquist commented on SimHoTToDDy's City Journal Entry in Soviet Black Sea Union (SBU)

    For several months I traveled by plane regularly from St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad and you got the look of a rainy sovied airport just right.  And ugly lime green is just the sort of thing they would do to 'beautify' an area.  Except if they are all lime green isn't it just as bad?  Lovely job, just perfect.  On one of the previous entries you had some mural type artwork on the end of a building and you see that all over the place.  Socialist Realism, the greatest enemy to freedom of expression and talent in art ever... 

  2. Book 1, Montereau: Chapter IV

    I remember living in St. Petersburg, Russia for over a year before one day stumbling upon the northern outskirts of town and discovering a neighborhood just like yours up there - suddenly the prefab and high rise apartments end and there is this wooded area of super nice houses.  We had cookies and milk with a city polititian who had stainglass windows of the firebird myth.  Very beautiuful work here, by the way.

    What is that columned structure you have surrounding the column?  I love it! 

  4. Pripiat - Lessons Learned

    Ok, I have to know, where in the world did you get those amazing dead trees, especially that big one? 

  5. Kalimgrad- And the Wheels Will Turn

    rmwahlquist commented on SimHoTToDDy's City Journal Entry in Soviet Black Sea Union (SBU)

    All of your custom material is amazing, the trees, the trains being loaded with trash, the embankments, everything! Is it all LE and BAT stuff or did you photoshop this or something?  It looks just like communism!

  6. Kalimgrad - Sans Forma

    rmwahlquist commented on SimHoTToDDy's City Journal Entry in Soviet Black Sea Union (SBU)

    I spent two years in Russia, with some months in Kaliningrad, and you've captured the mind-numbing grey of life there perfectly.  I could never live there permanently because I feel like those identical pre-fabs just drain your soul, like on joe vs. the volcano and the flourescent lights.

    This is really beautiful.  I like the back-history, as well as the excellent layout.
