The House of Soviets is a huge brutalist building in the middle of Kaliningrad. No other construction in the city is as large as this one, so it can be seen everywhere, which is a stain for many Russians. Mainly because this is a failed architectural project that lies abandoned in the heart of Kaliningrad, but some people complain about the weird look of it, and some even mention that it looks too much like a buried robot since its appearance resembles the head of a buried giant robot.

I was in Kaliningrad in the last days of October 2017, and when I arrived, the House of Soviets caught my attention. The building is in the city's central square, close to where the Königsberg Castle used to be but not quite there. The House of Soviets was built over the castle's moat.
