    Strikes me as a good example of pragmatic Soviet design

    • Rear wall protects occupants from North winds
    • Positive pressure zones at sides lessen precipitation ingress
    • Upward air foil blocks snow like invisible awning
    • Interior morphology allows it to function as a small stage that passively amplifies audio in a radial frustum centered at waist height, best for children or seated adults
    • Bench-free design promotes strong bones and strong character, unlike American bus stop

      Those mini-concerts at the Soviet bus stop are amazing, can’t believe tiktokers haven’t picked up on it yet.

        lol some friends and I used them occasionally for little garage band busking but the acoustic amplification is minor, likely accidental ETA: and setup for a joke

        I didn’t notice any moss, only geographical indicators and shadows, which strongly suggest orientation in order of probability N, W, E, S.
