The Soviet Era has left the world many military objects that came out of use and now stay abandoned, like this old military signal office centre.

Great!
Excellent photos =)
There is no cat.
Can someone identify some of these photos? Like what the guy is holding in the 13th picture.
I would imagine it’s carbon monoxide (though I don’t know what it is used for), given its label (okis’ ugleroda).

russian draeger gas atmospheric test tubes
They are probably to measure the amount of ambient Carbon Monoxide since it could leak from the exhaust of the generator.
Bring down the evil Putin regime before it is too late!!!!
Putin wants Communism, to abolish your human rights and a new cold war!!! Say No To Putin!!
LOL
Agreed.Putin is the last hope for the Great Russian revival.just few years before the pre Putin Russia was so weakened by any aspect,economic, militarily..,as a world class player in global affairs,and in balancing force in energy sector.but our dear comrade, eternal, elected leader VILADIMIR PUTIN is reenergize Russian share in world affairs.only some so called pro Democratic and freedom seekers are so worry to Putin`s power to great Russia.when CCCP was exist,US never think to attack on small and oil rich countries.this world never saw direct military involvement in any theater of the world when Soviets were able to dictate their Peace Suggestions to USA.(except Vietnam and Afghanistan).but Putin is trying to re establish this balance correctly.US be prepared for worst revenge of true FREE WORLD.another thing Texas wells are now reaching their last layer of oil and gas,so Bush inc,sniff something else rather than oil………….
we love our country very much,but without military and economic power one should not able to say that we are proud countryman.if Putin is trying to back Russian dignity,why you complaining?few misperceptions may be every where but one thing is constant,aiming higher and higher.i am sure about it that,without military power there is no meaning of absolute independence.so please change your imaginative attitude and support Putin`s cause.
I agree, we certainly do not need another superpower. But don’t you think the US is now, and in fact always have been, the greatest danger to the world peace?
George Bush and his “neo-con” friends are a danger to world peace, the same as Putin– it is the same mindset: “We should be able to do what we want, to hell with the rest of the world.”
I don’t think the USA was ALWAYS a threat to world peace (really– was the USA a threat to world peace back in 1807, for example? Nor was it a threat in 1907, or 1937, but since 1945. . . well, maybe. But so was the USSR, so they balanced each other out, and the USA was really not a threat to world peace until George w. Bush took power, did Clinton threaten world peace? I know many slavs are angry about NATO getting involved in the balkans in the 1990′s, but somebody had to do something, the Serbs were being unreasonable, and that area is much better off now).
Thats right, all evil empires fall and US will not be an exception. I think there must be a colored revolution in the US. All the aggression, unjust wars against sovereign states, puppet governments in Latin America and now Europe, support for dictators, support for terrorists, acts of terrorism at home and abroad by CIA, human right abuses in guantanamo bay, torture of opponents in secret CIA prisons across europe, crackdown on basic civil liberties, assassinations of opponents, horrendus propaganda, brainwashing, revival of the cold war, missile defence shield, meddling in the affairs of independent states, etc, etc, etc! All this must be stoped!
World peace can be achieved. But this can never be done while the current regime is in power. Lets just hope that democrats will be slightly better. But to be honest, I dont believe there ever was real opposition in the US. And there certainly isn’t one in UK…
Your a sick human , death and war are wrong , but if you commies want to play try us , putin is Stalin all over and just as evil as Hitler himself .
Your right , Putin is another Stalin who was just as bad as Hitler , ya Russians thats something to be proud of .
This site is going to become abandoned.ru soon. No problem for me.
i was wondering if some kind soul who reads russian would like to undertake the job of interpreting the signs and packaging we always see in interesting posts like this one…? i always feel like im missing out on something neat
Get a russian wife my friend!
I will trade 3 goats for large russian wife
a good plan, except my husband would be VERY surprised (as i am a woman!)
Under 242: “Battery compartment, No entry with fire, No smoking”.
Below the two lights in the next picture: “Stop”, “Walk”.
Large barrels: “air”.
Glass vials: “carbon monoxide”.
Yellow sign on the wall: “put documents, money, and topo maps in a plastic bag”.
thank you! now, will you undertake the task of hand holding my non russian speaking self through all the rest of the posts?! just kidding
Glass vials: “carbon monoxide”. Try again.

ESTONIA 4 ESTONIANS! RUSSIANS AND JEWS OUT!
You truly are a sick person, in a literal sense of the word. Sick, with will all Nazi propaganda that Estonian media has pumped you little head with. I truly feel petty for you!
Looks like somebody stripped all of the copper from the generator.
WOW!! One day I will turn one into a house for me!
This is not too old-the date code on the pipe said 1994.
The remains of those diesel generators look like they were Caterpillars. How ironic if the USSR was to depend on US-made equipment!
Great stuff! Any clue as to the location?
Where the hell does it say caterpillar??? Get over yourself dude!
Im sick of people changing to my name, it should be so you can not change your name and post under someone else
What is the richest area of Moscow???, Like whats it name and what direction is it from Red Square.??
cheers
Well, pretty much the whole center of Moscow is quite “rich” – though, I am not really sure what you mean by this word. But the property prices are certainly the most expensive in the world, and no where in the world are going to see that amount luxury cars. The difference between rural Russia and Moscow is unthinkable!
Is there any places in or around Moscow were there are HUGE houses and mansions with heaps of property???
Hi, I like very mush your blog, it has some quite nice/interesting pics.
But I have one constructive critic to your blog. I lack some comments to the pics. For example in these photos we can see a huge amount of old-fashined or abandoned sovet-era equipment, also many cyrilic signs on the walls or the equipment itself, but there isn´t any clue about what it means or what kind of thing we are watching.
Also just acomment, it´s interesting to see the lack of electronics/computerized equipment in the old military abandoned places.
Igor has lived in Russian for many years and can still not read Cyrliici propely. Me is wiegh bettre ate england lanusguage. i Think this own should post translation into england as whell. I agree with HaddocK
@HaddocK
“huge amount of old-fashined equipment”
I wouldn’t call this old-one of the date codes said 1994.
Any equipment made in the USSR looks like it’s 30-50 years old-for example, I once posted pictures of the inside of a 1988 TV, and people thought it was a WW2 military radio. Even records/documents/forms were printed using old-fashioned printing presses-the quality was absolutely horrible, (comparable to the late 1800s)-the text, lines were all bent and typewritten on what would seem to be a brown paper towel. Even photographs from 1994 were still in black and white.
“lack of electronics/computerized equipment”
Digital equipment back then was scarce, and all computer/calculator ICs were reverse-engineered, impossible to get, extremely expensive, unreliable, and outdated. Plus they were very sensitive to EMP. Because of this, most (if not all) electronics had discrete transistors and sometimes even vacuum tubes (and I’m only talking about 1980-1990).
For example, even commercial aircraft lacked computers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUpA78v_VLQ
