Holy wow. I have seen some rural bus stops in my life, but this article has been a unique experience. Some of those bus stops are architecturely amazing to my eye. I'd love to see them personally.

Nowadays, most (if not all of the) Russian city bus stops are either older rough metall ones (painted over quite a few times with a different color every time) or modern-ish plastic/glass ones (they'd better fit on a photograph than in the city: when everything around is either cheap colored plastics, cheap tasteless ceramics or roughed up concrete, they look out of place). Will provide visual examples if requested.
