🛸 Buzludzha is a massive Communist monument in the Bulgarian mountains.

Its Brutalist saucer design and 107m tower with a red star made it a landmark of the Eastern Bloc. Since 1989, harsh winters and neglect left the interior and its 25 tonnes of mosaics in ruins.

Now recognised as endangered heritage, the site is undergoing vital stabilisation. There has been preservation to protect the hall’s dome and mosaics.

The world's smallest violin just played. A 75 y.o POS big game hunter dies in #Gabon while trying to kill a duiker. He was crushed by a herd of #elephants. Excellent poetic justice. Can't say I'll shed a tear over such a monstrous person no longer being around. What about you? #BoycottHunting #Boycott4Wildlife
