What a classic! Grim would be an understatement. Still working on locating exactly where in Russia is Provideniya...looks like steeply rising terrain in the background to the left.
Chris Robey... Wiki says Provideniya is located in the Chukchi Peninsula of Russia and this airport is the closest one in Russia to the United States. The Bering Strait separates this peninsula from the Seward Peninsula of Alaska.
As to "grim", I guess there's little incentive for fancy architectural design in such a remote area of the world.

Russian Far East. It's right across the Bering Strait from Gambell, Alaska on St. Lawrence Island. Bering Air has a flight to Provdeniya from Nome.
Thanks Cliff and Alan. I found it on a map!...interesting that Bering Air fly in there out of Nome AK..
You're welcome, Chris. Yes, it is interesting that Bering Air offers a flight from Nome AK to this airport. Such absolutely wouldn't have happened when I was growing up! That said, I sure would love to visit there!
