Red Urbex: Ghost Buildings of the Eastern Bloc

On 9 November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. In Eastern Europe, the great buildings of communism were deserted, looted, and forgotten. Now in ruins, these spectacular and threatening settings have remained frozen in the past. Red Urbex explores the ruins of communist constructions across Eastern Europe. On the occasion of the thirty years of the fall of the Berlin Wall, eight urban explorations, "Urbex", take us through the ruins of communism. Since the end of the Eastern bloc, these constructions, both spectacular and threatening, remained frozen, abandoned like gaping scars of a past utopia. From Stalin's secret sanatorium in Georgia to the flying saucer of Bouzloudja in Bulgaria, urban explorations in the footsteps of nostalgic "soviet fans", followers of red brutalism and crazy tourists.
