Hi Tom, the thing is it is situated right next to the brick works and is probably part and parcel of the works. I was thinking it may be a warehouse of some sort.Might be a sports stadium, they were scattered around the city.
Amazingly, there is Google Street view footage of this location. Those grandstands seem to be apartment buildings.You have a better link to the photo? Looking at the modern Google Map of the place, there is a stadium / track that is pretty run down. It seems to be built in a depression with high grand stands on either side. I don't have enough of the original to make sure its the same place and the buildings and surroundings in your photo have change quite bit. -- jim
PS: spent much of my life a photo interpreter. Love to look at this stuff

That's a mighty big brick.It's about 200 m long and about 100 m wide.
It's a socialist brick. Bigger and better than a capitalist brick.That's a mighty big brick.

So we have five or six parallel continuously fired tunnel kilns, probably using a rail system to move the bricks through the heating-cooling process.All my references indicate that it's part of the brick factory. And, if you look at the buildings around defined as complex "brickworks", in fact this structure could be the main brick factory. It has a pier near, which could be convenient. At any case, no depression or stadium. It's about 200 m long and about 100 m wide.
Why not? Brickworks The ones I've seen are in Catalonia, a small country, not in the great Stalin's USSRSo we have five or six parallel continuously fired tunnel kilns, probably using a rail system to move the bricks through the heating-cooling process.
And, conjecturing again, could be not the works, but the warehouse of the manufactured bricks... The streets/roads around suggest that...So we have five or six parallel continuously fired tunnel kilns, probably using a rail system to move the bricks through the heating-cooling process.
