Bechyovinka, the submariners’ secret town
There is a secret town in Kamchatka. One can get here only by sea or a helicopter.
The town’s name is Bechyovinka (in the name of Bechyovinsky bay) or Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-54 (in accord with the last figures of the postal code).
We do not need it anymore.
It’s ordered to abandon the town!
To leave the guardhouses!
To leave the control panels!
To leave the medicine chest!
To play big – abandon all the hospital!
Leave the laundry!
To scatter carbonic oxide!
To leave the savings bank!
To abandon the school with cherished birches!
To abandon the shop with egg trays!
To leave the nursery with toys!
To leave the bathroom with romantic breakers!
To leave the bread box and the slippers!
To leave the kitchen! Leave the stove!
Asshole, who throws the stove this way?
Abandon all the houses!
To leave the atom bomb!
And to leave the honour of the officer!
To leave the boiler room and 50 tons of black oil!
To abandon the secret warehouses in the hills!
To abandon the ship!
To leave the ship diesel and other scrap metal!
Don’t digress!
To leave all the boxes with carbon-dioxide absorbers for submarines!
To abandon the submarine!
And to abandon the town!
To leave everything to sea lions!
Full speed ahead!
Keep it up!

I love these types of pictures, this is why I come here.
you are absolutelly right, very very nice
It is fantastic. Wish I could go there myself!
1st
Nice pictures! Can you tell more about it.. Thanks anyway!
unbelievable
Interesting place and well-done photos, but there is an error in the caption “To leave the atom bomb!”.
The bomb is, in fact, a neutron bomb. The poster can be reliably dated to early 80s. The N-bomb production OKed by Reagan administration scared the Soviets shitless.
Here are the coordinates:
+53° 16′ 19.21″, +159° 47′ 0.95″
Just put them on google maps or something…
Great Post, Thank You!
So many “abandonments” i can see in Russian federation.car factories,machine building plants,planes,military hardware,old ideological shit,national honor,self dignity and most of all top position in “cultured” nation! ! ! ! ! !.
LMAO!
Very nice Blogpost, amazing Pics!
Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful place. No one lives there at all?
Don`t be in so hurry! ! ! to go there.this place is so “contaminated” and “poisonous” just because of Soviets insanity to win cold war! ! ! ! !radio activity and bio hazard is so dangerous to breath there.you all can notice that there are no “birds” and nothing living creature is visible.fine, go and “enjoy” ! ! ! ! ! ! !
it is too cold for animals to live there
Amazing photos, seems like a very intersting place to visit.
Thank You.
if you look at the coordinates, you see what a strategic town this must have been. close to both alaska and japan…
I want to move there, who cares if buildings are falling apart, I will live in the old ways, no one to bother me, no phone, no cars, no people, no bullshit. A hermit’s dream. I Lived like that many times should have stayed there.
Sounds romantic but would be better to do that in virgin forest.
now to get all imature and western on you, it looks just like fallout3! they are amazing, almost like a film set, amazing
for sure, both Russia and USA have bigger and better secret weapons!!! It would be foolish to leave all behind and not have some Aces in the sleeve
I’d love to visit this abandoned sites someday….
And these type of pictures is what makes me come back everytime
Thx!
This would make good location for s.t.a.l.k.e.r. game.
awesome!~ feels like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. except more nostalgic
reading though it makes a good lol entertainment
I thought the soldier’s beret was kind of sad. All the training to earn it-just to leave it behind!
Everything is abandoned there, whats wrong with russian??
It seems like a hobby to abandoned everything in russia…. whats wrong with this country??

Here are the coordinates:
+53° 16′ 19.21″, +159° 47′ 0.95″
Just put them on google maps or something…
Wow this stolen post is very very old
the landscape is divine !
Excellent pictures, gives out a very disturbing end-of-the-world-y feeling and I love it.
The term you are looking for is “post-apocaliptic”. There is something so endearing to it.
You mean post-apocalYptic…?
beautiful in its own way. can the UK rent a part of Russia where we can dump our crap citizens? if they annoy you feel free to shoot them.
isn’t that what you guys did with Australia??
And see what happened there…
Hey, my friends…
This plase is abandoned ’cause it’s very harmful. In Soviet Union’s times probably there was a complex of some toxic production. Equipment wasn’t great in that time and there were a lot of crashes. I have some friends from Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the ending plases of Chykotka (Chukchi Peninsula). They told that Soviet government had preferred to leave those plases ’cause it was the cheepest and simplest way in our borderless Motherland. Everybody had been ressetled to an european part of Russia, even to Saint Petersburg and Moscow in fact.
And nowadays theese plases still are the ghosts of remembering our Soviet Union’s past.
Wow. Russia never ceases to surprise me ine very possible way. I’d love to spend a year travelling there.
Great pics! Right up my alley. In America there would be vacation condos there the town once was.
I wonder if you can see Sara Palins house from there?
Bill, I wonder if your Mom is from there?
Hahaha, that’s the best laugh I’ve had today. Thanks, Bill.
Lame, this is fake. I have already seen those photos months ago, they were signed that they were made in Czarnobyl…
So they were fake ;).
Fake is not. We is shooting and fishing in water there.
We (US) need to round up and send our lefty enviro-wacko’s over there to live, I’m sure they’d love the back to nature experience…. They could finaly spend their time making a difference, cleaning up the place….. LOL.
You’re an idiot. Have fun living in your own garbage and filth.
It looks haunted. Imagine what it must be like when everyone is gone and the wind is whistling through the broken windows. Spooky.
Could you pleasee provide more information on this topic??? Also your site is amazing. Best regards…
I thought this was going to be another long boring blog post, but I was pleasantly suprised. I will be posting a backlink on my blog, as I am quite sure my readers will find this more than interesting.
Amazing pictures, Excellent Location, great experience… since childhood I have a fascination to be in once such location and remain here for rest of my life…. these photos remind me of Stalker” movie and also Soviet era…
excellent photos, great location and amazing experience, i always have a fascination from childhood to be in one such place and live there forever…reminds me of “Stalker” movie. All these photos reminds me of Soviet superpower era…
this would be a fun place to play as a little kid…
“It seems like a hobby to abandoned everything in russia…. whats wrong with this country??”
LMAO
same way as the Greeks abandoned their theaters as cities as their empire vanished, same thing was with the soviet empire. i would love to see the faces of tourist from 3010 coming here and taking pictures and “playing” STALKER or FALLOUT, which would be ancient in their time.
Yes, I was in the end of 70-s on place like this on far nord of Russia, Chukotka’s peninsula. We, in geological expedition, suddenly finded forgotten army base, without personal, without weapons,- just lot of fuel tanks for helicopters. And this place was guarded only by two hungry soldjers with no weapon! We asked this guys, why they haven’t weapons and amunition. They answered: because what happened year ago, when some soldjer from guard crew killed all another soldjers, and he was destroyed by missile from helicopter… Some kind of winter manic-depression, maybe. But it happened many years before collapse of Soviet Union.
Breathtaking,beautiful and callous art. I loved all of the running dialogue too. Great job man.
This place looks a lot like Pripyat in the Ukraine.
Except no nuclear disaster happened here.
I’ve been reading a few posts and i’m adding your blog to my rss reader , thanks !
Does anyone really believe that he spontaneously decided to activate an emergency slide? Then grabbed a beer before he left?
why i must live in a place full of angry people? everytime when i see similar pictures i think that i was madde to live in places like that.
from poland with love
