Let’s talk about the hammer and sickle ☭.
Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia–Alania, Russia
Hotel Amanauz, Dombai, Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia (Caucasus).
A late-1980s Soviet brutalist project designed with that wild honeycomb facade of modular balconies. It was planned as a huge resort hotel (~480 rooms, cinema for 630) and even had a rumored rotating base to follow the sun.
Construction halted mid-project due to foundation cracks and funding collapse as the USSR fell.
It’s stood abandoned ever since - a concrete monument to ambitious dreams that never finished.

Today, I want to speak about the biggest inspiration for queer people in my country, who was killed today. I want to speak about Kesaria Abramidze.
The first trans person in Sakartvelo who publicly came out as transgender.
The woman that brought a massive amount of queer awareness into the general public despite the queerphobia constantly directed towards her.
The woman that smiled and never gave up despite the people that hated her.
The woman that did everything she could to become a mother.
The woman that loved art.
The woman that, despite poverty, hardship, and loneliness, lived a life she desired.
The woman that stood up for every marginalized group, and always for every woman.
She inspired me into being a man that I am today. A man who is not afraid of being trans no matter everything that is happening. A man who is not backing down from becoming comfortable in his body one day. A man who wants to help and guide other trans people. A man who does something kind for people. I stayed strong for my friend who was also grieving her today, but now I'm home and all of those feelings are pouring out. I will forever be proud of Kesaria and everything she has done not just for queer people, but people in general. She helped everyone, her kindness is endless.
We lost someone beautiful today. Rest in peace.
