Counter Communism
In the hallways of Linnahall, an older serving counter slowly decays after being abandoned from the Soviet era.
Tallinn's Linnahall is a Soviet era concert and sports venue.
The 1980 Summer Olympics were hosted in Moscow. As inland Moscow had no suitable venue at which to stage the sailing event, this task fell to Tallinn, the capital of the then Estonian SSR. Apart from the main venue for the sailing event, Pirita Yachting Centre, a number of other sports and entertainment facilities were erected,among them the V. I. Lenin Palace of Culture and Sport. designed by architects Raine Karp and Riina Altmäe.
The skating rink closed in 2009, followed by the concert hall in 2010. The city sought investors from 2009 to 2015, and in 2015 the city council decided to renovate Linnahall, although the project did not come to fruition.
