American bicycle traveler Christopher Herwig visited 13 former republics of the USSR, riding more than 30,000 km, and everywhere he photographed old stops built during the heyday of the Soviet Union. Captivated by these masterpieces of small-scale architecture, he even published an entire book dedicated to the stops that are well known to all of us. We invite you to look at a few pictures from this book.
