Unfortunately many wonderful abandoned places do not have any respect or attention. But maybe it makes them even more enchanting. Podgoretsky castle is often called the "Ukrainian Versailles". It is unique because of its architecture - Renaissance style and heavy bastilles. The complex of the castle consists of a three-storey castle

itself, Italian park, inn and entrance gates. It used to be one of the best palace complexes in Europe. Probably the history of the castle dates back to the twelfth century when not far from Podgortsy village was an ancient settlement with a fortification nearby. Some pictures of the place are inside the post.

In the Galichesky district of the Kostroma region of Russia there is an unusual structure - the TV tower 350 meters high. It's unique not because of its height but also because it does not function at all. This tower is the highest abandoned object on the territory of Russia. It's even higher than the Eiffel Tower. The TV tower has been abandoned for

more than ten years but next year everything should change. The structure was built in the 90s. It has six guylines, a boiler, a substation, a room for personnel. Unfortunately it was broken too fast, a couple of years ago even the cable and signalling lights were disassembled and stolen. Let's climb the tower right now!

Right now you can see the night city of Novosibirsk from height. Probably it looks the best at

twilight. It changes so much and absolutely does not look the way it does in daytime.

This is one of the St. Petersburg churches - Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood. It was built in honor of Resurrection of Christ. Besides, it's the very place where in March, 1st, 1881 emperor Alexander II was fatally

injured (it was his blood "spilled" under the church). The cathedral was being built for money collected all over Russia. Today we are going to climb the roof of the building to meet sunrise from there.

... in a multimillion city? This is how. Watching this from on board of the plane can tell you the story of modern Moscow covered by the giant cloud of a smoke coming

out of a tremendous heating power plant that boils water for the whole city using the natural fuels. We have shown you such a plant in detail just recently.
