So many unfinished objects were abandoned after the collapse of the USSR just because they became unneeded due to army, fleet, attack armament reduction - they turned

into massive monuments of unimplemented projects. One of such objects is located in Pavlovsk, Russia - it's a nuclear shelter for Pacific Fleet submarines.

This old church standing on the plain of Kargapol, Russia, is open to wind and weather, and the wasteland spreads around for many kilometres. The church is dated 1655, being one of the oldest architectural

monuments of the Arkhangelsk region. Right now we are going to have a closer look at it and visit the neighbouring village, Saunino, where one more equally old church complex is situated.

The most beautiful castles of Ukraine are probably located in the west of the country. There are many of them: medieval structures and wonderful ruins surrounded by legends and fairytales. But which of them is the best? Some would say it's the castle in Kemenets-Podolskiy or the one in Podgortsy near Lvov, but the castle Chervonograd

must be even better, more beautiful and unusual. It's the lost city in the Ternopol region and the place of enormous energy and awesome natural landscapes. Ukrainian episode of "Indiana Jones" or "The Lord of the Rings"! The castle in the green crater! Must be the most beautiful abandoned object in Ukraine.

You are about to see the equipment left by people on Frantz Josef Land back in the nineties. Some of the machines were destroyed in 2013 as part

of the clean-up campaign in the Arctic, others will be destroyed in summer 2014. Maybe some lucky ones will become museum exhibits.
