Well, dear viewers, after a few welcome (or unwelcome) detours, we finally come to the mother lode of the legend of Russe! Previous editions can be easily accessed via our revolutionary new "click" system: here, here, here, here, and here.
Of course one man's trash can be another man's treasure, and though the city may not seem to live up to current Western standards, it has a well-deserved reputation -- principally the architecture. To Russe's credit, the mayor seems to have chosen the more appropriate way of spending EU funds, so the buildings have been fixed up since then ;)
This building is the dominant structure in the very center of town. "Bulgaria" ...
