We are in Belarus, at the base where old and new air defence systems are repaired. The base appeared in the 1940s, till 1950s it had
been used for storage and repair of unremarkable anti-aircraft guns. Today all Soviet air defence systems are repaired there.
...But they died 200 years ago. So these photographs are really unique. Maxim P. Dmitriev was a Russian photographer of the XIX-XXth centuries, founder of the photojournalismt genre, member of the Russian Photographic Society. He was
a talented person who travelled to all cities near the big Volga river, he took pictures of Volga landscapes, cities, everyday scenes and people. His works were awarded in Paris, Amsterdam, Chicago and New York.

Sometimes we can find rather unexpected things underground, such as a plantation of unknown crops at the depth of
300 meters. Local "agronomists" have been growing their secret plants at the place that used to be a big mine.
Yes, we still can see interesting models and installations of the Soviet science achivements, researches and inventions. But some of them are hidden from our eyes, they are stored at places we cannot easily enter when we want. Aircraft engines are fascinating and
impressive. They are so complicated and huge, their purpose is to lift not only themselves up in the air but also loaded aircrafts. So it is always interesting to examine and touch them, even if they are abandoned and are going to be scrapped soon.

January 22nd is a day of air defence in Russia. On such an occasion some bloggers and journalists were invited to an
airfield called Central Uglovaya in the Russian Far East. We are going to join them and see how the airfield works.
All these old photographs were taken by a German photographer Franz Grasser. They show how Russians existed on the
territories captured by German nazi invaders. Would they be different if taken by a Russian photographer?
One American specialist was on a business trip in the USSR in 1930 and took these photos. Some of
them were taken in Moscow, some - in Kazan, Tatarstan, though we cannot be sure about the rest.

The author of these pictures does not give any information where he took them and how he managed to do this. But is it really important? Just try to imagine what it was like to
work at such place, far from reality and sunlight, to listen to the neverending sounds of this equipment, see these dull and gloomy corridors every single day...
