Instead of grayness. In Tatarstan, transformer boxes located in courtyards are being painted.

В Naberezhnye Chelny Gray transformer substations are transformed into bright decorations for courtyards. "O sport, you are peace!" — this sign appeared on one of the substations in the city courtyard. 

Two local artists paint bright graffiti, Marat Bilyalov и German TitovThe city administration orders the painting.

Over the course of three years, several substations have been decorated with drawings. The themes varied—girls reading, a fragment of the underwater world, space with a cat in a spacesuit, jungles, and mountains.  

They promise to continue the work in other courtyards next year. Residents say these booths are much nicer to look at.
