“The Architekturzentrum Wien (AzW) takes a look in its current exhibition at the architecture of the non-Russian Soviet republics between the late 1950s and the end of the USSR. The stories about Soviet modernism related by researchers and eye witnesses are practically unknown. ‘We dispell once and for all the myth that the architecture in the former Soviet Union was completely different from the West,’ says AzW director Dietmar Steiner at the presentation of the new exhibition. The elaborate research and exhibition project takes a close look at the architecture of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.” >Text & photos (c) wieninternational.at 2012
