Soviet architecture has always been a great topic for photographers. French photographer Frédéric Chaubin traveled the Soviet Union since 2003 to catch buildings with surprising architecture with concrete as main material. Institutions headquarters, Holiday centers or religious buildings, all of them seem to be cold but fascinating. Pictures of the artist are gathered in a book called CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed and available here .
