ABSOLUTELY AWESOME photos of Russia and Russian interiors by Bee Flowers (link via Jane Keeler and Blogchik)!..

Some of it is too familiar in a sickening kind of way - I tend to ignore it in real life, I pretend to be escaping it by pretending not to notice.

All photos are so wonderful I feel like entering every single one, touching things around me, recognizing the smells...

This one's from the Soviet Hotels page:




And this one is from a series on the apartment of a Soviet academicians' family, one of those ubiquitous Soviet lamps that I've almsot forgotten ever existed...
