These are wonderful.

As a former architecture student, it's like they went to the architecture schools and told the students: "what have you got?" Fantastic!

In America you stop bus. In Soviet Russia bus stop stops you!
AutoFox
Often, these stops were one of the few projects directly planned by the local "soviet" (council). Districts competed to build the best ones.

They didn't know how lucky they were, boys.

Abkhazia looks like a very strange place. I think I'd like to go there.
thegoatoftruth
a few good place to do krocodile
smallDaddy
As an Estonian, I'd never identify those two first stops as Soviet.

A plagiarization of a book by artists Eve Kiiler and Signe Kivi "A Complete Guide to Estonian Bus Stops".

In Russia, bus stops you!
ImgurianUpvote
We are in 2015, soviet doesn't exist anymore

And yet none of Sci-Fi films are shot here.

Almost all of these look structurally unsound. But then hey, fuck it, we're Russia.
thyfartismurder
It blows my mind how different russia is.
rebraine
none of these photos are from russia
thyfartismurder
Even cooler

Most of these seem to be in the middle of nowhere. Who's taking the bus to or from these places?
hogeyegrex
From the looks of some of them, nobody anymore.

Russia just always looks so depressing

If you can find the older rest stops here in the US, the ones from the 60s-70s look similar. The utilitarian ones are all newer.

Shits rad!! Why don't we have stuff like this

#12 is almost orz

The one looks like he lost a contact lens...

some of these look like they let "art get in the way of function
Frazzy
Most bus-stops in most places are nothing but a signpost. Not much function needed.
tuoret
To add to this, Russia is fucking huge. 17 odd bus stops means there's like 17000 regular, boring ones out there.
oatonaboatwithastoat
Probably the least weirdest thing in Russia.

I get your pun, it just doesn't make sense in this case. If anything, these would take longer to build than the typical North American stop.
TheMasterBush
they all look like great places to get murdered... or a fallout loot place
ArtSparkle
no kidding, why is this guy not on fp yet
cornhedgehog
Because nobody keeps them clean :(
CapnDonal
Looking at these, all I could think of was Fallout
PickledRamaker
or film a porn
Dongskanker
definitely film a porn
Theonewhocomments
Or get murdered while looting the places after the fallout.
gummysharkies
Well.. if I had to be murdered anywhere, I would probably pick somewhere dramatic like these bus stops.

Yep, this is Russia
solarprominence
literally none of them is in Russia. There is a caption in the bottom, have you missed it?
alesiar
tbh, you'll find bus stops like this in Russia too. Keep in mind the Soviet Union encompassed much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia
solarprominence
Will not argue with this. But USSR is dead and now there are 15 different countries there. Just wanted to point that USSR is not only Russia
alesiar
yeah true that
Pullbear
Oh, I live in Estonia
solarprominence
and, we just discovered that you have there some cool bus stops :)
Theonewhocomments
Didnt know that place existed until now. Thank you Imgur.
danvolodar
And that's why you don't know that Kazakhstan or Abkhazia aren't Russia? Or why you're so slow, fitting right into the stereotype?
Pullbear
This is mean and I'm not estonian, I just live here
ameerptl
I m tired of seeing how every country has better bus stops than America...
happygirl13
I know! Here we just wait by a sign....most places don't even have a bench
Frazzy
That's how it is most places but no-ones going to notice (or post a pic) of a signpost.
happygirl13
I know....most times I think the bus doesn't notice the sign....
