Construction in Ukraine has its own peculiarities. At the minibus loop by Proletarska, they were rapidly building a simple little one-story shop. They built and built, and finally built it. Once, walking past, I even saw the signs: “Inexpensive Shoes” and “We’re Open.”
But with the arrival of spring, something happened to the little shop.
This is what the shop looked like on March 5. The signs, doors, and double-glazed windows have been removed. The drywall has been removed from the walls too. On the right, you can still see the insulation. But they’ll remove that too.
And here it is again, but already on the tenth. There are fewer and fewer walls.
And here it is on March 12. The walls are gone; what’s left is the facade and the steel skeleton.
This shop didn’t even manage to stay open a week from opening to closing.
I remembered a joke from English class at school: — How do you say “construction site”? — Building. — And “perestroika”? — Debuilding.
