The places on the photos is 2000 ft (700m) deep hole in the ground. It’s called Korkinsk Coal Mine – the deepest and largest in Europe open coal mine and second largest in the

world. Miles of rails, hundreds of electro trains and giant excavators work in this place. That’s probably one of the biggest hand made things on the Earth.

"Gazprom" is the biggest Russian corporation, worth over $200 billion, translated as "Gas Production". It serves gas and oil to the whole Europe, people in Russia often make jokes that Gazprom keeps Russia just like a servant for itself, and if there would be some need for "Gazprom" to join Europe to Russian Federation it would be done next day without any problems because all the Europe depends on Russian gas. Also some analytics say that Putin after his

presidency ends would head Gazprom. So here are the projects of Gazprom main corporate building in St. Petersburg (they have already a complex in Moscow). People of St. Petersburg demand to stop this projects in coming to life because they want to preserve "cultural and architectural unity of the city". But if Gazprom wants something nobody can say something to it. Look what they going to build in St. Petersburg:

All know that in Russia people drink a lot. That's not only Russia the country where people drink a lot, but probably Russia is the biggest country where the vodka is the problem. So drinking a lot

means a lot of empty bottles. They can be recycled of course but they also can be used in some other way. For example like this one, a guy have built a house using empty bottles.

Now here is another piece of Russian self made rural piece of architecture. This is a building in a form of a flying saucer, painted in Russian old style police car – white and blue. Inside one can see traditional Russian wooden

decoration and opposing it in style round windows and a… firewood furnace. It is not some highly-sophisticated zero gravity UFO engine but at least passengers won't be freezing during long Russian winters.

We had already a thread about strange buildings back from Soviet era. Today we’ve got another piece of strange architecture, now from modern Russia. That’s a building made in a form of giant bar code, same bar code we

see on all the goods in supermarket. It seems to be an office building made of modules. It’s from St. Petersburg, Russia, and was submitted by Jolq, would somebody be able to read the barcode?

Russian wooden architecture is something you can meet in any Russian village all your way through Russia. Here we had already an article about Kizhi wooden churches, the place, the island on Onega lake in Karelia, Russia, where different examples of Russian wooden architecture are collected, from all over the Russia. Today it’s a different story, this is a sample of

just a common village from Russian rural countryside. It’s not something from medieval times, it’s a way of how the modern Russian countryside house builders look on things. Buildings on this photosets are used in everyday life – there are photos of schools, city hall (village hall) etc. This is simple Russian school.
