can anyone make out the script on the certificates on the left? is it Latin/Roman or something else?
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 27 May 2021 21:34 (five years ago)
xp hmmmm... maybe you're right!
― Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 27 May 2021 21:35 (five years ago)
it might just be wishful watching tho
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 27 May 2021 21:38 (five years ago)
Again, I might be imagining it but I think the text of the framed certificate says диплом (diploma) but it is fuzzy.

Think you're right. And in the third cabinet on the left there's a picture of what looks like a Byzantine cathedral or maybe mosque just to narrow this down...not at all.

oh re-reading properly and ShariVari caught that already

Leaning more towards Ashgabat now, though not with much to justify that.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:58 (five years ago)
the building in the third cabinet on the left doesn't look like it has a dome to me? I get medieval castle ruin vibes but "ruins used as opera backdrops" doesn't narrow it down a lot either

I think it's Valery Zolotukhin, but haven't found the photo yet
― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Friday, 28 May 2021 07:29 (five years ago)
I think it is Valery also
That was pretty quick from the exterior, maybe I should have left it a while on the interior

No idea who the guy is but the building in the picture does have onion domes!

looks like a match with other photos of Valeri I've found
I'm not so into setting these so anyone else feel free to go ahead

from Russian Wikipedia:“Since 2003, he was the artistic director of the State Youth Theater of Altai.”

there WAS a dome! I sit corrected
― StanM, Friday, 28 May 2021 08:01 (five years ago)
can’t find the portrait either, but he was most definitely a scarf guy!this still (from a play, I assume) matches the series of pics on the right wall:https://img.dni.ru/binaries/v2_photo/69859.jpg

First gut feeling without peering too closely: Germany, Austria or Czech Republic

... or a section of a city that had to be rebuilt quickly after being destroyed in a war?
― StanM, Sunday, 6 June 2021 22:46 (five years ago)
The buildings have chimneys, which, unless they're a postmodern flourish, means they couldn't be more recent than the 50s and are more likely to be older. They look a bit like the housing estates built in Vienna in the 1920s, and the river looks like it could be the Danube Canal, but I can't see any bridges over the Danube Canal that look like that steel thing in the background.
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 7 June 2021 04:22 (five years ago)
Germany and Poland clearly have too many cities on rivers. Something has to be done about this imho.

maybe this is completely wrong to the right of that first lamp post there's a christmas decoration and then four white signs with their pole behind them - a bit further on, there's a maroon sign also on the left of the road... making me wonder: are we driving on the left here?
― StanM, Monday, 7 June 2021 15:43 (five years ago)
it doesn't feel like any of these countries though - so that's probably wrong. ( https://www.worldstandards.eu/cars/list-of-left-driving-countries/ )
― StanM, Monday, 7 June 2021 15:45 (five years ago)
chimneys or not, don’t these housing blocks look quite new and modern (very much post-1950s), especially compared to the state of the asphalt road?
