I thought that was some sort of alien moster at first, with beady white eyes and arms outstretched to get me.




Wow, I need to lay off the Archinect.

By the way, this is the background I sometimes switch to when I'm momentarily sick of the big city life.

Apparently not... I see the struts off to the right that could be holding the thing up via tension cables, but they don't look substantial enough for a structure of that size.

spotted here, but I don't know much more then ya'll.

the caption says: Kin-dza-dza, or some unknown object
it is an old bunker for the overload of mineral fertilizers))))


from wikipedia:Kin-Dza-Dza! (Кин-Дза-Дза! in Russian, pronounced "Kin-Dzuh-DZUH") was a 1986 Soviet science fiction film released by the Mosfilm studio and directed by Georgi Danelia, with a story by Georgi Danelia and Revaz Gabriadze. The movie was filmed in color and runs for 135 minutes. It can be considered a cult film, especially among Russians, and its humorous dialogue is frequently quoted in that country.


there was a discussion about it on archinect when this pic first surfaced - maybe on thread central...

I'd love to learn more too!

In construction work, it is one of the initiation rites of passage given to all new apprentice workers, and thought to be very funny by senior workers in on the gag
