A traditional Russian Orthodox Church with golden domes is surrounded by dark and maze-like apartment buildings lit by windows of uniform yellow light. The influx of identical Soviet apartment complexes in cities across the Soviet Union characterized the architecture of the Soviet period, often overshadowing the more traditional architecture in cityscapes. The suggested maze becomes a kind of highway leading away from religious practice.
