One thing that bothers me - what is that car doing on top of that thing???
maby when it was winter they did not had where to stay warm so they thought it would be good idea
I could build a transformer out of that.
i dunno but that thing reminded me that freaking metal monster of spider of Dr. Loveless from WWW
Awesome playground!!
Very rusty! I want to repaint this metal boddies.
It looks like Fisher-Price

And I believe the machinery is made in GDR (Eastern Germany) rather than the USSR.

and how do you think it was moved from Germany to USSR ???
in parts!
c’mon no phantasy or what?
alien technology, probably
Hey
Any more detailed info about exactly where ‘near Moscow’ that is? Would love to head out there this weekend…
I want to know what that lada is doing up there
Bloody sad to see such great stuff left to rust.
Wonder, that nobody made an attempt to cut it to pieces and sell it for scrap metal. I mean, in a country where people even steal powerlines and tear railroad lines out of the ground to make a buck of it…:D
funny i had the same thought. that’s a lot of scrap there.
Its not LADA its Zhigulj btw.
OMG. This is photoshop. I dont believe that:)
allrrigghtt..
1) Boris, shut the F*** up, you have spoken enough.
2) Lada and Zhigulji are the same two things.
3) that’s the second giant abandoned machinery park in Russia!
about 3) :why are those things abandoned..? i mean; somebody (like a rich person) could build them up and start a mine or something, even a museum for heck sake!!!, and make tons of money out of it! well, if that person could do a museum i’ll be glad to come for a tour if i could:D
The plate says that it was built in Dresden DDR (Former East germany) learn how to read and use your brain…
Thouse machines - bucket chain excavators, worked in Moscow region in open cast mines near Voskresensk from 60th till 90th for phosphates minerals extraction. Location of place, where it was http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=55.267723,38.818527&spn=0.003875,0.010042&t=h&z=17&om=0
