Retired rally car driver Oleg inside of his office at the Aul Residential Complex in Almaty, Kazakhstan. During his racing days he competed all over the world, including China, Thailand, South Korea and the US. After injuring his spine and eventually calling it quits, he now owns and rents office space in the building, where he has lived and worked since 2003. He likes brutalist architecture and believes they are built to last much longer than regular buildings. I liked Oleg very much, and he invited me to come back for a coffee whenever I wanted ???????????????? #concretecitizens #kazakhstan #portrait #almaty #brutalism #kazakh #rally
