It was originally intended to showcase the fruits of the socialist state. From toasters to cars to agricultural produce.

Ce site avait pour but d’exposer les fruits du regime sovietique. On y trouvait de tout, des avances de la technologie spatiale jusqu’aux plus recents progres agraires.

Now only the main buildings contain items, mostly of western origin.

Aujourd’hui, le tout tombe en ruines et sert de marche pour les produits de l’Ouest.

The pavilions along the back avenues have long since been abandoned.

Les pavillons d’arriere-plan ont ete abandonne depuis longtemps.

The buildings are deserted and in disrepair.

Occasional cafes have set up shop in some, like outposts of civilization. Conversation and the rattle of plates boom around the near empty halls.

Un cafe ice et la rappelle un passe glorieux.
