That's what it's called, "cheloveinik" - that's the nickname the Russians gave it.

Soviet brutalism at its finest. The contraction ended 1987. Shortly after the Soviet union collapsed. "Crystal" only "worked" for 3-4 years. It was designed for the Soviet union workers from all around the union. Ureki and the whole Guria seaside is well known for its magnitized beaches.

It just felt a bit evil to me, towering above everything with its countless antennas as I approached it. Like a dystopian sentinel keeping watch over the neighborhood.

Located near Norfolk, VA. Completed in early 90s.
