When you travel to abandoned and acting institutes, plants, shelters, much depends on luck. Sometimes such visits end in loss only: penalties and waste of time. Sometimes you expect to see cool scientific objects but see only boring offices, and instead of huge interesting plants you come to waste grounds.

But sometimes such trips are quite successful. This trip to one scientific research institute was quite a luck.

There were no guards and cameras there.

The object has 80 premises.

Some of the rooms are closed and being repaired.

Here workers eat. A huge map of the USSR reminds them who feeds them.

The poster reminds that wives are waiting at home..

Probably some guard lives in this room.

The panel shows time, temperature and humidity.

It feels you are somewhere in the middle of the 1980s.

Who will use this old equipment?

The automatic switching center still works.

Now it’s time to find another rabbit-hole to leave through.
