Raphael, I'll add a bit of dystopian 20th century grandeur. A spillway is a hydraulic structure designed to release excess water from a reservoir. Water is discharged when there is a threat of overflowing in the reservoir due to flooding, heavy rainfall, etc. The photo shows the Yakhroma spillway, one of the structures on the Moskva-Volga Canal. This canal was dug by prisoners in the thirties of the 20th century.

Artist Vadim Mellin is standing next to the spillway and painting a sketch. The photo was taken in 1945. The architectural structure shows damage from recent battles.

Photo from our family archive. (The artist Mellin lived for thirty years in a common-law relationship with my great-aunt; their marriage was not formalised on paper, but they were together for a long time).

Warsaw, Palace of Culture, communist regime monument. Photos taken in October 2021.

The Palace of Culture and Science was a gift from Stalin to the Polish nation, completed in 1955. It was the only facility of this type built outside the territory of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Artistically pwenie chybs one of the best ... it was known to be an export version. Project: architect Lew Rudniew.
