Russia. Village Zaplavskoe, now. Only 25 km from the city of Volgograd (former name Stalingrad). On the occasion fate proved in those places. It was like being in a time machine in the past. Some buildings are still pre-revolutionary buildings or preserved pre-revolutionary Foundation with a renewed appearance. The truth is still controversial that is updated: pre-revolutionary Foundation or a new extension.
Surrounded by this architecture there is a memorial monument to the winners of the war who died for us. The contrast of the buildings is the Church with its Golden domes. The locals seem to have got used to the surrounding reality, but I somehow felt sad for our Russian reality...
