摄影师克里斯托弗·赫尔威格在前苏联的上空盘旋,探索格鲁吉亚、俄罗斯和乌克兰最偏远的地区,寻找并拍摄其独特的公交车站。在他的第一本书《苏维埃公共汽车站》获得成功后,他决定为他的新后续集《苏维埃公共汽车站第二卷》再次探索这个主题。在这本书中,赫尔威格关注的是俄罗斯,而不是前苏联,在这个幅员辽阔的国家行驶了近1万英里,发现了令人难以置信的交通避难所。建筑和文化评论家Owen Hatherley在《前进》中对这些建筑形式进行了更深入的探讨,他详细描述了政府允许公交车站继续存在的政策。
Photographer Christopher Herwig has circled the former Soviet Union, exploring the most remote areas of Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine to find and photograph its unique bus stops. After the success of his first book Soviet Bus Stops, he decided to explore the subject matter again for his new follow-up collection Soviet Bus Stops Volume II. In this book Herwig focuses on Russia rather than its former Soviet counterparts, driving nearly 10,000 miles around the massive country finding its incredibly diverse transportation shelters.These architectural forms are more deeply explored in a forward by architecture and culture critic Owen Hatherley, who details the government policies that have allowed the bus stops to remain.
