This institute in the Vladimir region used to be one of the best research insitutes working with synthesis of artificial minerals. However its destiny is not enviable because it finally went bankrupt.

It’s not difficult to enter it.




Looters haven’t reached the institute so far…

Crystal grinding machines

Grinding paste

Draught cupboard and Disney characters on the wall









The staff was expecting the sad event… Wishes and complaints on the board.

White crosses for some reason…



X-Ray inspection room

Here they checked products for defects










Scales




Probably it still works


It seems that someone has just gone away to come back soon…

But the flowers give a hint nobody is going to come…

So…
What exactly was their product?
Probably some kind of cut stone?
Lenses. mirrors and prisms for optical equipment.
That sucks how does this keep happening was this a government run facility?
I really feel bad that it’s just abandoned what a wast
This is just sad.
Whish I could loot… I mean, save the microscope and some of these crystals before someone breaks them
I’m with you I mean with all these places being abandoned I would be cleaning these places out big time. Look at all the equipment just left sitting that’s money left out for anyone to take I would loot Russia for days
