In Moscow there’s a scientific institute that has been already closed for a long time. This two-storeyed building on a fenced territory is a shelter for this test chamber that was probably made in the USA.

The door is very heavy, two compartments inside.
Inner chamber.
Transmission door.
Transmission door users manual.
Porthole.
Cute fan on the ceiling.
Various lights.
Pressure gauge behind the thick glass.
Pneumatic door lock.
Some Soviet device …
Transmission door from outside.
Research desk with recording devices.
Reel-to-reel recorder Sony.
Cyrillic buttons.
Broken flask with some substance that turned into snow.
And it’s another part of the building – here nearly nothing has remained.
Drawing board.
Junk in the basement.
The roof looks like coppice.
In the pond nearby there are swimming ducks.
Toilet.
Abandoned fire department.
Fire-hoses dryer.
Drying rooms ventilation.
Welcome to the upper room of the watchtower.
From there we can see another abandoned building.
A lot of different junk in the rooms and many rotary dial telephones.
A huge map of Moscow with marked fire departments.
And finally there remained some helmets …

fIRST!!
Wow. Madonna looks nice in calander. shes a freak now. Good Pics. Always like the abandoned buildings. Reminds me of Glasgow!
ah, the finest in 1960′s technology
That pressure/vacuum chamber looks like it was Canadian made, or perhaps British, because of the Celsius temp gage.
It could be an option for Russia, special order – just a replacement gauge, not a big deal.
The “pressure chamber” is in fact a vacuum chamber. It is most certainly NOT made in USA, as evidenced by the distinctive asian fonts on English wording, and asian idiomatic translations to English of signage. Could be from China, South Korea or most likely Japan.
It appears that human subjects were used in experiments.
For what use was this machine intended?
Definitely not made in USA. Hey Russia, not a good idea to leave the mess to the next generation to clean up. But then the US is not perfect either. Just sayin……
are you suggesting Soviet science-ethics were worse than those anywhere else? People’s lives weren’t endangered.
No question to ethics at all. Diminished pressure studies on humans were part of Soviet and USA space programs, as well as military research on effects of high altitude on pilots.
I am only curious as to the nature of the use of this particular machine.
That’s obviously an old orgasmatron (heavy duty).
They ain’t making such stuff anymore!
I will guess Boritz, that it was used for human and static experiments for the purpose of determining whether or not a human being could survive in a post-nuclear environment if positioned in a vacuous environment. Obviously cobbled together from odds and ends, and of a very crude technological and scientific theory.
This machine can get out those really tough grass stains that ordinary bleech can’t remove.
Weird, probably we’ll never know what the chamber was used for ))) (and where it was made )))))
A. Bunka here. As far as the celsius meter is concerned, all of youse commie pinkos use the metric system, even American ones. Thank God the American people, in their righteous indignation, refuse to use the metric system, dispite millions of dollars of taxpayer money wasted trying to convince them otherwise. The metric system is a Franco-socialistic plot.
I bet they used to put Brezhnev in there to sober him up.
I think you refer to Nixon and Yeltsin…..cheers.
No, I said Brezhnev. He was as big a drunk as Yeltsin, well, close anyway, however, Brezhnev had better PR.
this is so Fallout!
did they find any experimental human brain in a can ?
OMG, the callendar with madonna
)))))
’93
I saw this thing in a James Bond movie! The dude exploded.
I was first!
I wonder if there are any recordings made on that reel to reel. It is still full of tape. Then mystery could be solved.
Chamber looks to be a super high pressure hyperbaric chamber for pressurizing people. Also very similar to semi-conductor vaccum chambers.
Hey- I heard that hyperbaric used 40 times cures aids I wonder if it could be used-for street kids?
I somehow doubt it has much to do with high pressure, considering the fact that the chamber is rectangular in shape.
High pressure / vacuum chambers are rounded, like the shapes of pressurized gas tanks for example, in order to distribute forces evenly on their walls. Corners and flat walls provide far less resistance for this purpose.
Looks more like something designed for extreme temperatures tests (mainly judging by the thermometer scales).
