Abandoned School (Ruse, Bulgaria)

This school in a Roma neighborhood in Ruse, Bulgaria was closed when there weren't enough students to fill it. Within months it had been raided and destroyed. People stole everything that had any resale value-- even ripping cables from the walls. Now the building lies in ruins, and sometimes neighborhood boys go there to cause trouble. The students have been moved to another school nearby.

Special thanks to Georgi Kehayov for taking me here, for introducing me to all of the photographers in Ruse, and for being a neat person to hang out with in general.
