This unique Soviet mosaic is located on one of the pavilions of the Progress shoe factory, which was built in the 1950s. The factory was one of the biggest in the Soviet Union. You are allowed to come inside the property and walk around—you can even feel the atmosphere of old times when the workers are coming back home from the working day.
