This mine does not look hopeful: all these rusty staits, water dripping from
everywhere, falling stones, a lot of mud... The place has been abandoned long ago.

This Il-18 appeared at the park of Tolstoy in Moscow last year. And it was strange for everyone to see it there. Still there was some hope the plane will be made
use of. And they kept saying that maybe Mi-26 helicopter will take it from there. But we've recently known that everything is over for the Il-18...
Unfortunately many wonderful abandoned places do not have any respect or attention. But maybe it makes them even more enchanting. Podgoretsky castle is often called the "Ukrainian Versailles". It is unique because of its architecture - Renaissance style and heavy bastilles. The complex of the castle consists of a three-storey castle
itself, Italian park, inn and entrance gates. It used to be one of the best palace complexes in Europe. Probably the history of the castle dates back to the twelfth century when not far from Podgortsy village was an ancient settlement with a fortification nearby. Some pictures of the place are inside the post.
In the Galichesky district of the Kostroma region of Russia there is an unusual structure - the TV tower 350 meters high. It's unique not because of its height but also because it does not function at all. This tower is the highest abandoned object on the territory of Russia. It's even higher than the Eiffel Tower. The TV tower has been abandoned for
more than ten years but next year everything should change. The structure was built in the 90s. It has six guylines, a boiler, a substation, a room for personnel. Unfortunately it was broken too fast, a couple of years ago even the cable and signalling lights were disassembled and stolen. Let's climb the tower right now!

Bragin is an urban settlement in Belarus located not so far from the city of Gomel in the direction of the Chernobyl NPP. It's a nightmare of
graduates who were provided state-subsidized education and the place where such "stars" perform who don't sound familiar to others.

We are at the partially abandoned mine which is not very big but interesting
anyway, because it applies mobile equipment, diesel loaders and other vehicles.

Some Russian people still use products made at this mill. It used to be rather well-known, and it's still well-known, but
among those who like to visit industrial abandoned places. These are some pictures of this creepy and beautiful place.
The project called "Lost Chukotka" is an attempt to preserve the history of Chukotka of the twentieth century. This land used to have its settlements, its own culture, industry, military power, it was the place where many people tried to survive. Today these places are history. Besides there are no many people left
who can tell about this land, the land which is grown with tundra today. One photographer, who lives in Anadyr, Chukotka, has presented some photos of the land and called the project "Lost Chukotka". He was striving to visit as many Chukotian places as possible and show them to the world.
