Soviet Bus Stop, Grinăuți

Grinăuți is the kind of stop that explains the whole obsession in one glance: reinforced concrete, a non-standard silhouette, and mosaic work turning a roadside wait into a tiny monument. It is documented as a representative Soviet bus pavilion in Moldova, and the exact site has been photographed in recent years, which makes it feel less like a rumor and more like a stubborn survivor. No named designer is attached in the accessible record, but the stop reads as pure late-Soviet local bravado.
