It's always interesting to be at an airfield with old helicopters and aircraft. This one has recently been extended by one more

parking rank. So we are going to the place located not far from St. Petersburg to see some more abandoned vehicles.

Gorky Nuclear Heating Plant started to be built in the early 1980s and was never finished for multiple reasons including public protests and the collapse of the USSR, of course. The plant hasn't been completed, the reactor unit hasn't been assembled, and fuel

was never brought... That's why the place is considered safe for visiting from the point of view of radiation hazard. The brave blogger lana-sator included this place in the list of great abandoned objects she has to see and shoot for us.

Russian blogger armahema took interesting images of an abandoned command post consisting of two modules - each of them is located

deeply in a shaft whose size is 35 x 60 m. Some places turn out to be beautiful even when we don't expect it at all...

Borisovka is a little village in Russia that has an interesting wooden mill

built back in the XIX century. But people are rarely guests here today...

Pictures of an abandoned military facility somewhere in the Moscow region. We have seen many of them, but this one is even

more depressing. The photographer, blogger sunjedy, says he'd prefer to have some vodka there instead of a cam.

Once, in the 1960s, the Soviet military forces chose a super beautiful northern locality and drilled a big hole in the mountain to

create a storage facility for nuclear warheads there. Today it belongs on the endless list of abandoned Soviet objects...

We have seen plenty of gas masks, filtering units and other means of protection here, and we understand that before serial production each of them should be tested, patented and approved. Thus, gas masks should be comfortable and harmless. This

very place was used for testing and approving them some time ago. It has many labs, warehouses and shops, a library, a medical room and even a movie hall. We are at the institute of safety equipment research. Come inside!

Post-Soviet countries are full of abandoned military places, but Gudym or secret base Anadyr-1, must be the coolest among them all. Geographically it's the closest to the USA and for obvious reasons it had enough missiles to fully destroy Alaska, Washington state,

California and part of South Dakota. Probably similar bases existed on the American side. Unfortunately, what was previously a super secret city surrounded by numerous military units does not have a future anymore. It is abandoned forever...

One Russian blogger who likes to visit different abandoned places found a protective door in the basement of an abandoned building. The

basement could actually be just an ordinary basement or have a shelter inside, but not this one, this one was special...

We are in the place where Mi-24 helicopters that have been put out of operation are spending their final days. The Mi-24 was a first tactical machine designed by MI and was in production until the 90s. After the collapse of the

USSR, the manufacturers of different parts of the helicopter were separated by the borders of the newly formed ex Soviet states. These helicopters were nicknamed "Crocodile" by the pilots and I wonder if you can see why.
