Belarus, Minsk
It's far from what I really wanted to show and tell you, but just know that it's a quick surface guide. If you're interested, I'll make a full video on Doomer aesthetic and essence of it.

"To see and understand the beauty hidden behind the veil of thick November fog, behind the grayness of broken asphalt, behind the nondescriptness of unpretentious, or rather absolutely primitive five-story buildings, is possible only by learning and living history, so brightly colored by the difficult fates of people who managed to build a life on the ruins of that very history. Here, where even the air is gray, behind the doors of apartments in the entrances killed by ignorance and neglect, there is light, comfort, home warmth and a unique atmosphere. It has formed generations of people who know how to love life, but not with that joyful, positive love that is so ardently broadcast as the only true one. This is a different type of love - silent and incredibly sad. Desperate. And we love exactly this sadness. As they say in the acting environment, "You need to love not yourself in the theater, but the theater in yourself." Love for that very sadness, melancholy, even death. This is love for life - in accepting all its aspects. There is a place here for puddles, crows endlessly circling above heads, trash cans, and also a neon dawn, rusty swings, fresh morning coolness with a pinch of anxiety, chestnuts blooming in spring, a lonely flickering lantern hanging over a bench against the backdrop of a pharmacy. There is something here that settles deep in the soul, forming this special Doomer core. Longing for home, where, it seems, there's someone always waiting."
