The Brightest Town in Russia

Culture, Photos, Russian People

One of the most remote cities in that vast country, the capital of the sparsely populated Russian region. Quite a few people live in Anadyr, just 15,000. This even for the district center in the middle lane is not enough. But not for Chukotka where just 50000 people live. To tell the truth, fly to Chukotka for just looking at Anadyr is not worth it. There are only a few streets

that you completely bypass a couple of hours. Still, one need to fly and change to a helicopter or ship, go on a visit to the Chukchi and deer. At the same time, this town is an obvious candidate for the title of the brightest town in Russia. See how the perception of the surrounding reality is changing, if one just paint the old Soviet houses!

A Sneak Peek into an AN-124 Ruslan, the World’s Largest Aircraft

Interesting Facts, Photos, Technology

Heavyweight aircraft transfers huge drilling rigs, equipment, machines on thousands of miles. When there is no opportunity or time to send cargo by water or by land, heavy transport aircraft comes to the aid. The leader among

heavyweight aircrafts is rightly considered AN-124 "Ruslan". It is the second world's largest serial cargo plane (the first is AN-225 Mriya). The largest operator of AN-124 is the Russian Volga-Dnepr Airlines.

This photographer has caught the pristine moments of a country on a brink of a

change. Some of those photos are mesmirizing and breath catching. Take a look!

Russia: Grass and Missiles

Abandoned, Photos, Technology

We arrived at the village and then drove to the resort, to a small slate career. The nearest underground missile silo was in two hundred meters from that place. Once, the formidable intercontinental ballistic missile R-36M UTTKh lived in the underground missile silo, otherwise called Satan. But now there is no rocket inside it, there only a small house remained. Today my story will be about the

house and other underground constructions. We arrived. We left the car and walked down the thickets of wild pea and hemp fields. Not inclined to think that it is grown especially by locals - too big and chaotic plantations. But I was sure that in the autumn there would be enough harvest for all the surrounding villages. Some individual plants were higher than I.

CRADDLE. UNKNOWN THING IN AN UNKNOWN PLACE

Abandoned, Photos, Russian army, Technology

In the year dot, some aliens crashed next to the Earth. It is unknown what happened to the aliens, but an escape capsule survived...

Armahema paid a visit again to some weird but highly secret place and brought back photos, but no descriptions so enjoy the view!

Story of Light: Lighthouses on the Edge of the World

Interesting Facts, Photos, Russian Nature, Russian People

Some of the most beautiful lighthouses of Russia and the Far East are located in Primorsky Krai. It would seem that the task of lighthouses – to serve as a guiding light for ships – has become almost symbolic in the age of satellite

technology. But this does not bother light keepers, or, as they call themselves, lightmen. To understand what people work at lighthouses for decades, we went to the coast of Primorsky Krai and recorded their stories.
