Stained glass windows in the administrative building of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was one of the largest in the Soviet Union and the poster child of the Soviet nuclear power industry. As such, little expense was spared on details like these windows.
The Soviet Union often used motifs in abstract art to promote Communism and laude their successes.

So, a bit about Mykola Leontovych. He's a Ukrainian composer, conductor, ethnomusicologist and teacher. His the most famous song is "Shchedryk" (ua: Щедрик). "Carol of the Bells" was based on this song. So, back to the composer.
23 January 1921, he was at his dad's in village Markivka (ua: Марківка), where he was killed by Cheka's (All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage under the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR) agent Afanasy Grishchenko in the morning. The Cheka's agent robbed them and shot the composer. The report text was made public only in nineties, from which we know the name of the agent.
Mykola Leontovych wasn't the first and wasn't the last who was killed by soviet regime, but many of them were claimed as "russian" people

An old photo where Ivan and Natalia (please note that this is Belarus!) we danced together. And let's admit that they are doing well now and they are just happy.
