“When we prepared for our trip, we were aware of an extensive complex of streets that networked and sprawled in a couple of discrete locations outside of Visaginas. When we investigated further, we discovered a 'small town' of garages and lock-ups that are peculiar to Soviet towns.
Residents will often have access to one of these lockups and travel by foot, bike and public transport to access them. Some are used for storage and others to accommodate small businesses. They can be immaculately maintained or be in various decrepit states. There was something a little unnerving about wondering around these spaces – what secrets existed behind lock and key?”
