Overview

Mariupol is a city with one of the richest and most diverse collections of monumental mosaics from the Soviet era in the country. Do local residents consider their mosaics to be decorations of the city/district/building/factory, and are they aware of their artistic value? Can they compare themselves today with the people depicted in the mosaics? After all, the main theme of any Soviet monumental panel was the life and work of the "typical" citizen.
