Im Zentrum des Buchs stehen zwei - von zwei bedeutenden Architektinnen entworfene - modernistische Openhäuser in der Peripherie der einstigen Sowjetunion: das Theater für Oper und Ballett in Vilnius (1962-1974) von Nijole Büi¿t¿ und die Komische Oper in Minsk (1973-1981) von Oxana Tkachuk. Das Buch rekonstruiert die Auftragsvergabe, die Planung und den Bau der beiden Theater; mit Blick auf den Kontext dieser Bauten werden die politischen und kulturellen Geschehnisse untersucht, die sich in dieser Zeit auf den Bühnen der beiden Sowjetrepubliken ab- spielten. Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, wie die moderne Architektur am Selbstverständnis der "neuen Nationen" Belarus und Litauen mitgebaut und es zum Ausdruck gebracht hat. Der Blick auf die lange Zeit kaum beachteten Prozesse der Nationenbildung innerhalb der Sowjetunion und auf die Bedeutung, die der gebauten Umwelt darin zukam, trägt zum Verständnis jener Kräfte bei, die schließlich zum Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion geführt haben, wobei es vor allem um die Rolle der Architektur in diesem Prozess geht. Oxana Gourinovitch ist Architekturhistorikerin, Architektin und Kuratorin. Die Publikation basiert auf ihrer Doktorarbeit an der TU Berlin, die 2021 mit dem Tiburtius-Preis ausgezeichnet wurde. Die Veröffentlichung wird unterstützt mit Mitteln der Graham Foundation.

Great for heavy chewers! Belgian Malinois Approved!
Color: E) 8-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow)
I bought these 6 months ago because my dog kept loosing his Kong balls. These were such a better price ball (but still had good reviews) that I thought I would give them a try. They are wonderful. After six months of chewing and chasing and playing with a Belgian Malinois, the two that I’ve gotten out are still in great condition. The bright color makes them easier to find, so none have been permanently lost yet. They are bouncier and a little bit lighter weight compared to the Kong balls of the same size, which I honestly appreciate because my maligator likes to shoot them at my feet. So far the material seems high quality and I feel safe letting the dog chew on it for hours on end. The 8 pack was cheaper than 2 Kong balls. A great deal for a great product!!

Durable, high-bounce dog balls that hold up well to energetic play
Color: D) 4-Pack 3" Balls (Yellow)
The Chew King 3-inch rubber balls have been great for active play sessions. The rubber feels thick and durable, and the bounce is surprisingly lively compared to many standard dog balls. They’re the perfect size for medium to large dogs and are easy for dogs to carry, chase, and retrieve. After repeated games of fetch, the surface has held up well without cracking or losing its shape. One thing that stands out is how easy they are to clean. Dirt and slobber rinse off quickly, so they’re ready for the next round of play. The bright color also makes them easier to find in grass or bushes compared to darker toys. For longer life, it helps to supervise play if your dog is a very aggressive chewer, since these are designed more for fetch than constant chewing. Also, rotating toys every few days can keep dogs more engaged and extend the lifespan of each ball. Overall, this is a solid set of durable fetch balls that provide great bounce and reliable outdoor playtime fun.

toughest dog balls in the world
Color: E) 8-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow), Color: E) 8-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow)
best balls in the universe. I have a 70# pit bull and a 120# presa canaria. All the other balls I bought lasted maybe 3 weeks, I have had these for over a year and play with them and the dogs 5-6 days a week. They still look brand new, They seem like they will last a year or so and they are both serious chewers. A presa has a bite force od about 525psi, twice a pitty

They worked out great!!!
Color: D) 4-Pack 3" Balls (Yellow), Color: D) 4-Pack 3" Balls (Yellow)
So far have been the solution we were looking for! I was extremely tired of the non stop destruction and order of large Chuckit balls for our high energy/high drive dog. For about the same price I bought four 3 inch balls to test out their durability and fit for the thrower. THEY WORK! Perfection! They even make a fun whistling sound as they sail through the air. They do require a tad more muscle in the thrower but that is not a problem. They have already shown to be WAY more durable. The 3 inch balls work in the large chunkit thrower. Super find.

Durable
Color: E) 8-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow)
My dogs love them. They are very bouncy, and ideal size, and durable. Great alternative to a tennis ball which in my house only last 30 minutes.
