Is it customary to take the doors, too?
In Moscow over 3.400 kruschevkas were wrecked. About the same ammount left and will be wrecked till 2010.
Will they be replaced by new housing?
of course not!
people from these houses already moved to the gulag? so there is no point of building something in exchange
Congratulations, you just entered chernobyl area
Cool site.
looks like the russian equivilent of our drug houses
Seriously it does. Looks like some Detroit stuff right there.
Let me ask my roommate.
Yup!
The teddy bear is adorable, but i wonder why it was abandoned…
SOMEONE FORGOT THE BEAR!!!!!!!!!!
that bear in 14 is creepign and 9 looks like someone puked XD
They appear to be cutting the metal railings off the stairs…
Why did they leave, and why are they leaving so much behind?
these houses were abandoned due to moving to new buildnings and nothing more
old ones will be destroed shortly and new another modern buildings will be built instead
Isn’t it because people in Moscow forgot to privatize their property, so the government has the right to destroy the buildings to build modern shopping malls? I’ve heard it on the news and the reactions of people living there.
That is how the Russian Federation treats its citizens.
No, that’s because in Russia, when you own an apartment, you own concrete, so to speak: the land still belongs to the gov’t.
Wow, even worse!
it’s Phili, Moscow
The sign on a fuse box in #7 says “Moving Services”. Guess nobody really wants to live in a Soviet version of Cabrini-Green, paraded as a great socialist achievement.
Cabrini Green was knocked down years ago. That land is prime Chicago Downtown real estate.
My point exactly. They took a patch with a great potential and turned it into a drughouse. Ditto for Russia.
My other point was that the Russian equivalent of Cabrini-Green (which, as we all can agree, sucked ass) was paraded as a great socialist achievement. If that is a socialist achievement, then fuck socialism.
You shouldve got those pics and put them on here
looks like my bedroom
Perhaps these flats could be completely renovated and condominiumized or rented out like some Moscow flats. Can one buy the building from the Russian government and if so what can the apartment be bought for?
Soviet era construction standards often left much to be desired: they could build good stuff, but often didn’t (cheaper not to, for one thing). It might be too expensive to renovate these blocks of flats to an adequate modern standard. And that’s ignoring the possibility of the concrete being sub-standard, which was often the case. If the concrete’s no good, the only thing to do is demolish.
No, I’ve never visited Russia, but I’ve talked to those who have back in Soviet times and I saw the DDR back when it was still the DDR and very grim. The entire damned country was crumbling, so it seemed.
There was a type of building, Khruschovka, that was meant to be a provisional house. It had an expiry date too. These buildings cannot be renovated. It’s better to demolish them and build new ones.
I hope you salvaged the black and white photos lying around?
Are these photos evidence of the decay from a dying Russia?
That place wasn’t abandoned, it was robbed!
I did some remodeling for a school in Moscow, and the building standards are deployable. I was talking to an engineer that was there helping us and he said that most of the buildings there are built like a house of cards, no columns that go all the way up. The consistency of the cement was way too sandy in many places, and we had one bathroom that was 2 feet out of square. Almost all of the buildings, even new ones going up looked like they were more than 50 years old.
I can understand leaving in a rush but I would have thought things that cant be replaced, like family photographs would be the first thing in the removal truck.
What a site! Who did write original comments for photos? Why that man fools others? I saw this in Soviet Union - Name of this is propaganda!
It’s clear: a lot of old apartment houses in Moscow demolished to clear space for new buildings. People moved to new houses. They used to live there for decades (since 50s or 60s), and just discarded all this stuff, which you can see on floor.
Yeah, basically the builders/construction site managers could get the material for their private house aside from a few projects like these, and sure used this opportunity, at least round here.
Why abandoned in such hurry though?
This is work of russian mafia!
I feel kinda bad, what if these people were forced out and couldn’t retrieve their photos. As you get older sometimes they’re all you have to remember family that has passed on etc.
Yeah, it looks like it was ransacked and robbed after the people moved out.
In pic 5 and 6 you can se how they cut down the handlebars in the stairs for recycling and easier demolition.
that black and white photo scared the shit out of me. that kid looks dead! freaking ghosts.
great site. so much fun.
It seems that people’ve gone, but some of them abandon their old and unusual things and furniture. And after that robbers came and makes this disorder.
What about me, if I’ll move to new apartment, I’ll abandon old things and furniture the same way. And it will be better (at least for my own back) than move things out to refuse bin.
could you see one of the pictures, there is a wine bottle with hungarian flag on it. maybe fake ?
In soviet russia building abbandons you
Can someone help me enlarge my boy vagina?
They sure abandoned the place in a hurry. There’s laundry still hanging in some of the balconies. What the heck? Did they get a 60 minute notice before the bulldozers come or what? And why did they forget to take their photographs? Are the people that cold and greedy for new housing or determined to abandon their past?
Once I saw a issue in National Geographic about abandoned villages and small cities in North Caroline. It quite reminds me of that. It was scarry.
this rush was made by hooligans.
Sad to leave the photographs behind.
why russian people are aboandoned these houses and going to other plase.is this in present situation.
This site is fascinating! Keep up the beautiful photography.
Could this apartment be a crime scene? It seems that there might be some blood on the floor in picture 8 and that spot on the wall in picture 7, could it be from a gunshot victim? I don’t want to seem gruesome but it was just a thought?
