Soviet Armenia








These are neon signs of grocery stores (gastronomes), bookshop, health center (policlinic), post office and a cafe in towns Gyumri and Ejmiatsin in Armenia. Nowadays Armenia is one of the places where the biggest concentration of such signs from the past can be found.

Children's railway



Children's railway was a phenomenon in the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc countries. In Riga there was one as well but it's been dismantled many years ago, however in quite a few post-communist countries it is still functioning. One of them you can find in Yerevan, Armenia.
