Tbilisi, 1975. The Soviet Ministry of Highways was built like a stack of giant blocks floating over a hillside, with the forest left growing underneath. Architect George Chakhava called it the Space City. Today it's a bank's headquarters. Brutalism at its boldest. Masterpiece or monster?

#OTD 1961: The Soviet Union detonates Tsar Bomba over Novaya Zemlya, the largest nuclear explosion in history. At 50 megatons, it’s over 3,000 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb. A terrifying demonstration of Cold War power that has never been repeated.
