Do we really know what is there, out in space? Not really much, we can only look at stars or ... hear them. Smart radiophysicist gave us such an opportunity when had built their huge metal plates in dense pine forests far from big busy cities. The grand ears of the planet were intended to contact the far and
alien space. They used to sit at a fire and sing their romantic songs when rested from numerous devices, apparatuses, indicators... We don't know what stars told them. But today all those devices are broken, the grand ears of the planet only hear rustling leaves of young birches....
It is known that Prokudin-Gorsky was taking pictures of the battleship "Potemkin" in 1905, but unfortunately those unique photographs were lost together with other original works from photo
collection devoted to Sevastopol. The pictures shown in this post give you a chance to imagine how they could look in color. On the picture above is a squadron battleship "Navarin", 1902.
The picture you see to the right was taken in a Russian city Nizhnevartovsk. But what is this supposed to mean?
Was the city being attacked by aliens? Nope! It's the stela symbolizing a drill rig! Doesn't it look creepy?
This is another hydro power plant of North Ossetia - Zaramagskaya HPP. It is definitely worth visiting. The whole structure is very complicated and divided into two interconnected plants - the main one and the one being built, HPP-1. When finished it will become the largest hydro power plant of the North Caucasus and
will have the highest water pressure compared to other hydro power plants of Russia - 630 meters. Zaramagskaya HPP has already been built for thirty years. The head HPP with power of fifteen MW was put into service in 2009. It is located on the Ardon river near the gorge up to 1000 meters deep.
This post is about the hotel "Moskva", one of the biggest and most splendid Soviet hotels. It occupies
the whole residential quarter. "Moskva" became one of the first hotels built in Soviet Moscow.
There have been a blizzard in the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky
and they need to remove all this snow somehow... Maybe this way?
Work in a hospital is never easy. To withstand difficult days at work, nurses have to treat it differently, to pose around people so bad ill that can't move and then post it online. This is
how these medical workers from the Perm region of Russia explained these photos which had appeared in social networks. Actually police now hunts the nurses for those photos.
Odessa catacombs formed at the place of a quarry. The city was growing very fast and they needed a lot of
shell rock (it's the main construction material in Odessa). The length of the catacombs is 3000 km!
