Une exploration photographique des monovilles soviétiques - des agglomérations urbaines érigées autour d'industries uniques dans l'arrière-pays de l'ex-URSS - ; certains prospèrent, d'autres luttent pour survivre, d'autres encore sont partiellement abandonnés. À travers neuf chapitres avec plus de 130 photographies prises par le photographe russe Alexander Veryovkin, Monotowns by Zupagrafika capture les paysages post-industriels et l'architecture de l'ère soviétique des monogorods s'étendant du cercle polaire arctique à l'Extrême- Orient russe, tels que Vorkouta, Norilsk, Mirny, Kirovsk, Togliatti, Cherepovets, Magnitogorsk, Monchegorsk et Nikel, et la vie quotidienne de leurs habitants. Comprend des textes informatifs offrant un aperçu précieux du développement urbain des villes présentées et une préface du critique d'architecture Konstantin Budarin. « L'économie soviétique était organisée selon des plans quinquennaux, le pays tout entier fonctionnant comme une énorme entreprise. Les monovilles étaient comme différents départements au sein de cette société ».

The word 'Siberia' brings to mind a series of extremes - vast, bleak, harsh, alluring, wild, and beautiful. Our imagined notion of this largely unknown territory is so strong that the name itself has become a metaphor for things remote or undesirable. The reality, however, is that Siberia surpasses any singular idea. Not only does it span numerous time zones and feature enormously varied geography, but its inhabitants range from nomads herding reindeer and shamans communing with spirits to scientists in state-of-the-art laboratories and urbanites proud of their boutiques, museums, and opera houses. Spanning more than 130 years, this collection of images by more than fifty Russian photographers conveys as never before Siberia's enormity and diversity while bringing the region into concrete, human focus. It draws from the collections of Russian museums as well as the archives of established and emerging photographers. Leah Bendavid-Val's compelling commentary tells the stories behind the pictures and places them in historical and artistic context, quoting observations and memories of Siberia by explorers, settlers, and literary giants from Dostoevsky to Chekhov. As attested by the ever-growing number of books, news reports, and travelers to the region, Siberia is an enduring subject of fascination to many. This beautiful volume is at once a groundbreaking photographic event and a sublime introduction to one of earth's most intriguing places.

The Homesmiths Concrete Steel Nails 2" are hardened nails that are suitable for use with concrete. As concrete is tough to be nailed, these nails are made from hardened steel, so they do not bend when they are hammered. The flat end helps in distributing the pressure evenly on the nail when hammered. It gently pushes the nail in, without damaging the layer of concrete as concrete tends to chip off when hammered incorrectly. The nails can be used to reinforce wooden planks on concrete or for securing other materials on a concrete construction. .(1)The size of the nails is 2ќ(2) Made from hardened steel for increased strength(3) Specially designed for use on concrete surfaces(4) Does not crack/chip off concrete(5) Resistant to corrosion(6) Steel is durable and lasts decades..

The House of the Dead recounts the story of Alexander Goryanchikov, a gentleman who is sent to a prison colony in Siberia for killing his wife. Largely ignored at first by his fellow inmates due to his noble blood, he gradually settles in and becomes an avid observer of the new world around him – watching his fellow prisoners being brutally and cruelly punished by the guards, listening to their past stories of blood and murder, assimilating the institution’s social codes and learning that even convicts are capable of acts of pure generosity. Based on Dostoevsky’s own autobiographical experiences of penal servitude in Siberia, this genre-defying novel is not only an unflinching expose of the conditions faced by prisoners during the Tsarist period, but also a call to see the human side in criminals and rediscover the values of forgiveness and compassion.
