The book was originally published 3 years ago in Russian, but this year, Garage, Russia’s leading contemporary museum, have just announced the digital release of the book through a partnership with Readymag, a design online tool that enables its users to create websites, presentations, and digital magazines. The new interactive version offers an engaging look into three of the book’s chapters, specially selected by its editors: Anna Bronovitskaya and Nikolay Malinin, both architectural historians, and Yury Palmin, an artist and architectural photographer.
