In this episode, I discuss the brutalist Spomenik monuments of the former Yugoslavia with Donald Niebel - founder of the Spomenik Database.
Donald is an environmental scientist turned researcher from the United States.
We delve into the historical significance, architectural design, and location details of these unique, massive structures.
If you can’t subscribe to Coffee and Rakija, for whatever reason, and really would like access to all my content, please drop me a message.
Donald explains how he transformed his initial curiosity about these striking monuments into a comprehensive online resource.
Sharing his experiences and insights, Donald reveals the value of the Spomeniks as instruments for studying local and regional histories.
