I think it's Valery Zolotukhin, but haven't found the photo yet
― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Friday, 28 May 2021 07:29 (two years ago) link
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

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

I got nothing - other than it feels European indeed

Gonna open the bidding with Vienna, but I'm not 100% convinced.

does not feel like Czech Republic at all to me
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 6 June 2021 21:35 (two years ago) link
buildings are all the same, looks like an upmarket council estate.

... 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 (two years ago) link
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.

Germany and Poland clearly have too many cities on rivers. Something has to be done about this imho.

I want to say Warsaw, but I don't think I'm correct.

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 (two years ago) link
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 (two years ago) link
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?

Protected bike lane makes me think Denmark.

are roads that badly-maintained in Denmark?
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 7 June 2021 16:42 (two years ago) link
that's somewhere it snows (steep roofs) and i agree on the slightly rundown mitteleuropa vibe. maybe leipzig or dresden or something? but white buildings feel swedish?
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 7 June 2021 17:08 (two years ago) link
I don't know about Denmark but here in New Jersey those roads would be considered in pretty nice condition.
― o. nate, Monday, 7 June 2021 18:06 (two years ago) link
I guess presence of pothole-patching also more evidence for a climate where it snows in winter.
― o. nate, Monday, 7 June 2021 18:08 (two years ago) link
is the link broken?
You know, I was just looking at some bridges in Uppsala, Sweden and while none were the right one, it didn't feel *that* impossible either. So I'm going North for a couple of tries.

RHD, only the back of signs but quite an odd bike symbol on the ground, I have a feeling that this could be former East Germany or even Poland.
