You’ve probably seen plenty of abandoned places in Russia. Now it’s turn to see one of the abandoned health resorts.
This building was built before the revolution and belonged to Count Sheremetev.
It’s overgrown with trees and bushes.
There are just a couple of broken windows in the building (but the health resort closed right after the disintegration of the USSR!).
We’re on the main floor.
The cafeteria.
One of the rooms. It’s completely empty.
It looks like looters have been here but didn’t found anything valuable.
‘Syringe’.
In this rooms drug addicts make their bane.
Here you can find even documents of people who worked or stayed here! This is someone’s birth certificate.
This door leads to the shower room but it’s blocked for some reason.
This building leaves a nasty impression, especially considering the fact that here sick people used to undergo treatment and some of them died.
Go away Putin!
Why?
Putin is good for russians…Obama is bad…
obama is a shaby. putin is a newber!
I see the photos of so many abandoned places in Russsia, still with furniture and supplies there. I must ask Why absoutely nothing has been done with these places? Why are they not demolished? Why does no one build something else in its place?
Looks like a nice building to restore,and make an motel or hostel of it,nice surrounding with green also.
Chanting “Go away Putin” is not the right method to get rid of ´em evil dwarfs. I am sure Weatherwax knows the right chant.
When I was a kid, there was an old tuberculosis hospital (the Glen Lake Sanatorium) in my area. Built in the 1910s and ’20s, it was converted to a state nursing home in 1961 (after new drugs made TB hospitals unnecessary) and closed in 1990. It was torn down in 1993; the site is now a public golf course (the Glen Lake Golf and Practice Center).

Some russians say U.S. is supporting the russian protestors. Do you know any temporary agencies that recruit these people? Do they take PayPal or just Western Union? I would like to order 10 russians for the next protest at a price of $15? How much time do I get?
Contact US Embassy in Moscow. They can help. For $15 maybe can pay for eldery people who have nothing else to do.
