French photojournalist Frederic Chaubin likes to take photographs of science-fictiony Soviet architecture from the 1970s and 80s. During that era, the Soviets erected several formidable buildings that look like cities you’d see on an alien world. Pictured here is a strangely organic-looking wedding palace which is located in Georgia. More U.S.S.R. spaceportecture below.

This is a holiday center in the Ukraine.

This government building in Georgia was inspired by a sketch of an imaginary city. Images by Frederic Chaubin
