Ghastly Soviet Brutalist Monuments Scattered Around Post-Yugoslavian Balkan States
Popina
The sniper, as it has come to be known, is a monument designed by Bogdan Bogdanović, composed of three finely-cut stone monoliths that align when viewed from certain positions. This site in Serbia commemorates the very first confrontation between German forces and the Partisans in the second world war. Despite the monument-park being neglected, the monument itself remains in remarkably good condition. The scene was illuminated from many positions with a handheld LED flashlight during a long exposure.

Šušnjar
Approaching the gaunt figure of the Šušnjar Memorial at Sanski Most, Bosnia. Symbolizing an eternal flame, this monument designed by Petar Krstić commemorates the Ustaše forces' brutal massacre of 27 local ethnic-Serbs in May 1941. The scene was lit using a handheld LED flashlight over a long exposure, in the early hours of a fog-laden night.
