A model of the Druzhba (translates as ‘friendship’) Holiday Centre hall, Ukraine, built 1984 by architect Igor Vasilevsky, overlooking the Black Sea, in the holiday resort of Yalta.‘This building was a joint venture between the Russians and the Czechs. Czechoslovakia was the only country which sent a man to space with a Russian launcher, and they also had a satellite launcher. So ite related to space style. When this was built, the Department of Defense in America thought this was some kind of rocket launcher. The secret service was very much afraid of it, but in fact this is just a summer camp’ Frederic Chaubin (who took the photos)
