The city of Mednogorsk, Orenburg region. The city is small, but there were many industrial metallurgical enterprises here. Some are still operating, while others are abandoned and destroyed. Since all the industry, and a large part of the city, was built during the Soviet era, there is a lot of Stalinist architecture here. And the most striking example is the huge building of the House of Culture. The building has been abandoned since the mid-90s, but despite the destruction, it has retained its former grandeur. There was a cinema hall, a huge library and much more in the building. But it is very expensive to maintain such a building, and the building was abandoned. Now you can still find some stucco from the Soviet period here. Perhaps, the building will be torn down soon. In the meantime, local youth and other antisocial elements gather here.
