Shell Bus Stop, Novy Afon

Novy Afon got the famous Shell: multi-speckled, multi-humped, and apparently controversial from the moment it appeared. Locals interviewed years later remembered people calling it too Western, too strange, too far from what [Soviet public space](https://chaikhana.media/en/stories/652/abkhazia-self-expression-in-a-bus-stop) was supposed to look like. That reaction is half the fun now; the stop is a little blast of artistic disobedience parked by the road.
