During our past trips to Russia – in cities such as Moscow, Kaliningrad, Belgorod and even Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic – we documented the subtle pastel exteriors found in several cities around the world’s largest country. From neoclassical, to modernist and brutalist buildings, to public spaces and urban intra-structures such as metros, bridges and squares, pastel colors stand out as an essential, cohesive part of Russian identity. See a small selection of pastel-colored urban images below.
