A long, narrow alleyway between buildings shows several parked cars. A red flag with a yellow hammer and sickle, a symbol of the former Soviet Union, hangs from one of the buildings on the right side of the alleyway. The buildings are a mix of white, pink, and unfinished gray concrete. Electrical wires crisscross overhead. The ground is a mixture of dark paving and exposed concrete. The sky is partially cloudy.
