In the visa-free country of Armenia, look for "the traces of the former Soviet Union" mining town Alaverdi's Soviet tour copper mine plant still in use, cable car parked in midair, punk yellow bus, once Sex plastic sheets replace office windows and dilapidated residential buildings. . . It is not difficult to see that Alaverdi in northern Armenia is a typical former Soviet mining town. Perhaps because of the high mountain emperor, there is no de-Sovietization here, and it is impossible to invest in modernization due to poverty.
