We have mentioned some time ago the abandoned cities of Kola Peninsula, left by people and Russian army, now standing alone with only severe Northern winds inhabiting them.
This place is also on Kola Cape, but they got better fate. One of the reasons for this is because of the Hibini mountains, which got this region a travel twist. Now around some abandoned Soviet structures one can use the ski lifts and skiing trace.

OMG why oh why Russia is always Cold, miserable, crumbling and abandoned?
I don’t know. Why is your twat cold, miserable, crumbling and abandoned?

Good start..Angella – I’m impressed.
I liked the photo with dog. Did you?
I like them all. English Russia is amazing. I can’t wait to get to Russia and ride horses with Uncle pasha’s and pretend I am a Cossack.
The dog was a bit sad though. Why is he here all by himself? Hope his owner remembered him and got him a big bone.
I don’t get it. Is this ski lift abandoned or not? (Looks abandoned in the photos). So how is this a better fate than the other buildings?
SIGH* NO, it’s not abandoned. If you red the text properly, you would comprehend that.
Cool pictures.
Has the dog also been abandoned?

Cos it’s russia, fortunately India is so packed that if that was in India atleast that place would be full of corpses if not people.

Kola peninsula is left nobody.
On a photo a mountain-skiing complex, where always a frost. As factory which is taken out of service.
