Abandoned military installations part 1. Keys to the sky

A week later, I decided to visit this place for the second time, since it was not possible to explore most of it in one day, and besides, it was intriguing what was in the numerous buildings on the territory. Just like the first time, it was not possible to find people, even in the part that was supposed to be inhabited. The second time we entered the territory from a different place, there were plenty of holes and we began our inspection from the most remote corners of the military unit.

1. As soon as we moved a little away from the fence, the remains of the equipment began to appear in small groups near the road.

2. Her condition is deplorable, apparently she has been lying there for a very long time.

3. In some places, almost under every bush there is a “ZIL” or “URAL”.

4. Near the deposits of equipment, there are small buildings, most likely their purpose is warehouses. Their condition is the same as that of equipment - deplorable.

5. Scattered boxes from military equipment. One gets the feeling that this was not recycling, but looting.

9. These are definitely only suitable for scrap metal.

10. Railway tracks are laid across the entire military unit, next to which buildings appear here and there.

11. Please note that this building has its own separate perimeter. Apparently something valuable was stored.

12. Fragment of the perimeter.

13. The entire building is entangled in such a net, I dare to assume that its rupture or movement caused the alarm to go off and, as a result, a bullet from the guard.

14. But now everything doesn’t work anymore and you can slip through the door.

15. There are dozens of boxes inside. They also noticed that the ceiling was also under an alarm system, with dozens of thin strings stretched from above.

16. Out of curiosity, we opened the nearest boxes, and there were these things. Apparently these are repair kits for weapons and more.

17. There were a huge number of boxes with cartridge belts, boxes for machine guns and a lot of different things including bipods.

18. As I understand it, what is shown in the photographs above are parts of this weapon.

19. There were a lot of these boxes for cartridges, but they were all in boxes and boarded up.

22. Another building that we will now go into.

23. There are many boxes there again.

24. Magazines, holster for pistols.

25. Next to one box lay a completely new radio relay station R-407, range 52 - 60 MHz. In red letters it says “Attention! The enemy is listening.

26. There are about a hundred buildings on the territory, most of them are closed and empty. And nearby, an unchanging part of this place, was scattered equipment.

28. There’s nothing special to say here, it’s just that this technique fit well into the autumn landscape.

31. But this part of the territory looked quite alive.

32. Previously, the security of these warehouses was not weak, probably even impudent mice could not slip through, but now there is silence around, no people or animals.

33. It was very disappointing with these warehouses; when we got inside, we saw a huge amount of location equipment and bags nearby filled with parts from them. There were so many of them that they decided to postpone the inspection until later, but in the end I never returned there, but later

After the collapse of the USSR, the young states inherited many once powerful military and scientific facilities. The most dangerous and secret objects were urgently mothballed and evacuated, while many others were simply abandoned. They were left to rust: after all, the economies of most newly created states simply could not support their maintenance; no one needed them. Now some of them represent a kind of mecca for stalkers, “tourist” sites, visiting which involves considerable risk.

“Resident Evil”: a top-secret complex on Vozrozhdenie Island in the Aral Sea

During Soviet times, a complex of military bioengineering institutes was located on an island in the middle of the Aral Sea, engaged in the development and testing of biological weapons. It was an object of such secrecy that most of the employees involved in the landfill maintenance infrastructure simply did not know where exactly they were working. On the island itself there were buildings and laboratories of the institute, vivariums, and equipment warehouses. In the town, very comfortable living conditions were created for researchers and military personnel in conditions of complete autonomy. The island was carefully guarded by the military on land and sea.

In 1992, the entire facility was urgently mothballed and abandoned by all occupants, including the facility's guards. For some time it remained a “ghost town” until it was discovered by looters, who for more than 10 years removed from the island everything that was abandoned there. The fate of the secret developments carried out on the island and their results - cultures of deadly microorganisms - still remains a mystery.

Heavy-duty “Russian Woodpecker”: Radar “Duga”, Pripyat

The Duga over-the-horizon radar station is a radar station created in the USSR for early detection of intercontinental ballistic missile launches by starting flashes (based on the reflection of radiation by the ionosphere). This gigantic structure took 5 years to build and was completed in 1985. The cyclopean antenna, 150 meters high and 800 meters long, consumed a huge amount of electricity, so it was built near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

For the characteristic sound on air made during operation (knocking), the station was named Russian Woodpecker (Russian Woodpecker). The installation was built to last and could function successfully to this day, but in reality the Duga radar operated for less than a year. The facility stopped operating after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion.

Underwater submarine shelter: Balaklava, Crimea

According to knowledgeable people, this top-secret submarine base was a transshipment point where submarines, including nuclear ones, were repaired, refueled and replenished with ammunition. It was a gigantic complex built to last, capable of withstanding a nuclear strike; up to 14 submarines could be accommodated simultaneously under its arches. This military base was built in 1961 and abandoned in 1993, after which it was dismantled piece by piece by local residents. In 2002, it was decided to build a museum complex on the ruins of the base, but so far things have not gone beyond words. However, local diggers willingly take everyone there.

"Zone" in Latvian forests: Dvina missile silo, Kekava, Latvia

Very close to the capital of Latvia, in the forest there are the remains of the Dvina missile system. Built in 1964, the facility consisted of 4 launch shafts approximately 35 meters deep and underground bunkers. Much of the premises is currently flooded, and visiting the launch site without an experienced stalker guide is not recommended. Also dangerous are the remnants of toxic rocket fuel - heptyl, which, according to some information, remain in the depths of launch silos.

“The Lost World” in the Moscow region: Lopatinsky phosphate mine

The Lopatinskoye phosphorite deposit, 90 km from Moscow, was the largest in Europe. In the 30s of the last century, they began to actively develop it using the open pit method. At the Lopatinsky quarry, all main types of multi-bucket excavators were used - moving on rails, moving on tracks, and excavators walking at an “added” step. It was a giant development with its own railroad. After 1993, the field was closed, abandoning all the expensive imported special equipment.

Phosphorite mining has led to the emergence of an incredible “unearthly” landscape. The long and deep troughs of the quarries are mostly flooded. They are interspersed with high sandy ridges, turning into table-flat sandy fields, black, white and reddish dunes, pine forests with regular rows of planted pines. Giant excavators - "absetzers" - resemble alien ships rusting on the sands in the open air. All this makes the Lopatin quarries a kind of natural-technogenic “reserve”, a place of increasingly lively pilgrimage for tourists.

“Well to Hell”: Kola superdeep well, Murmansk region

The Kola superdeep well is the deepest in the world. Its depth is 12,262 meters. Located in the Murmansk region, 10 kilometers west of the city of Zapolyarny. The well was drilled in the northeastern part of the Baltic shield solely for scientific research purposes in the place where the lower boundary of the earth's crust comes close to the surface of the Earth. In the best years, 16 research laboratories worked at the Kola superdeep well, they were personally supervised by the Minister of Geology of the USSR.

Many interesting discoveries were made at the well, for example, that life on Earth appeared 1.5 billion years earlier than expected. At depths where it was believed that there was no and could not be organic matter, 14 species of fossilized microorganisms were discovered - the age of the deep layers exceeded 2.8 billion years. In 2008, the facility was abandoned, the equipment was dismantled, and the destruction of the building began.

As of 2010, the well has been mothballed and is gradually being destroyed. The cost of restoration is about one hundred million rubles. The Kola superdeep well is associated with many implausible legends about a “well to hell” from the bottom of which the cries of sinners are heard, and the drills are melted by hellish flames.

"Russian HAARP" - multifunctional radio complex "Sura"

At the end of the 1970s, as part of geophysical research, a multifunctional radio complex “Sura” was built near the city of Vasilsursk, Nizhny Novgorod region, to influence the Earth’s ionosphere with powerful HF radio emission. The Sura complex, in addition to antennas, radars and radio transmitters, includes a laboratory complex, a utility unit, and a specialized transformer electrical substation. The once secret station, where a number of important studies are still being carried out today, is a thoroughly rusted and battered, but still not completely abandoned object. One of the important areas of research carried out at the complex is the development of ways to protect the operation of equipment and communications from ion disturbances in the atmosphere of various natures.

Currently, the station operates for only 100 hours a year, while the famous American HAARP facility runs experiments for 2,000 hours over the same period. The Nizhny Novgorod Radiophysical Institute does not have enough money for electricity - in one day of work, the test site equipment deprives the complex of a monthly budget. The complex is threatened not only by lack of money, but also by theft of property. Due to the lack of proper security, “hunters” for scrap metal continually sneak into the station’s territory.

"Oil Rocks" - a sea city of oil producers, Azerbaijan

This settlement on trestles standing directly in the Caspian Sea is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest oil platforms. It was built in 1949 in connection with the beginning of oil extraction from the seabed around the Black Rocks - a rock ridge barely protruding from the surface of the sea. Here there are drilling rigs connected by overpasses, on which a settlement of oil field workers is located. The village grew, and in its heyday included power plants, nine-story dormitory buildings, hospitals, a community center, a park with trees, a bakery, a lemonade production plant, and even a mosque with a full-time mullah.

The length of the elevated streets and alleys of the sea city reaches 350 kilometers. There was no permanent population in the city, and up to 2,000 people lived there as part of the rotational shift. The period of decline of Oil Rocks began with the advent of cheaper Siberian oil, which made offshore production unprofitable. However, the seaside town still did not become a ghost town; at the beginning of 2000, major repair work began there and even the laying of new wells began.

Failed collider: abandoned particle accelerator, Protvino, Moscow region

In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union planned to build a huge particle accelerator. The Moscow region scientific center Protvino - the city of nuclear physicists - in those years was a powerful complex of physics institutes, where scientists from all over the world came. A circular tunnel 21 kilometers long was built, lying at a depth of 60 meters. It is still located near Protvino. They even began to deliver equipment into the already completed accelerator tunnel, but then a series of political upheavals struck, and the domestic “hadron collider” remained uninstalled.

The institutions of the city of Protvino maintain the satisfactory condition of this tunnel - an empty dark ring underground. There is a lighting system there, and there is a functioning narrow-gauge railway line. All sorts of commercial projects were proposed, such as an underground amusement park or even a mushroom farm. However, scientists are not giving this object away yet - perhaps they are hoping for the best.

Keys to the sky. Moscow air defense systems.

After the end of World War II, in the context of the outbreak of the Cold War, work was launched in the Soviet Union in three most important defense areas: the creation of nuclear weapons, intercontinental ballistic missiles for delivering these weapons, and an air defense system (air defense) of Moscow impenetrable to atomic bombers.

The organization of work to solve these problems was entrusted to specially created structures endowed with the broadest powers. According to the Moscow air defense system, such a structure was the Third Main Directorate under the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

Once upon a time, our country was ahead of the rest in the development and implementation of air defense systems on combat duty. Thanks to a Soviet rocket scientist Peter Dmitrievich Grushin, we have a product "B-750" complex "Dvina", which were produced in OJSC "MKB Fakel" in Khimki. It was precisely such a surface-to-air missile that shot down the U-2 spy plane piloted by Powers on May 1, 1960. The Americans were so sick of their impunity that they calmly flew through our lands from Kazakhstan to Norway. Airplane "Lockheed U-2" rose to a height of more than 20 thousand meters and developed a speed that left our interceptor aircraft and the then existing missile defense systems useless. But a new missile, launched from an anti-aircraft missile complex near Sverdlovsk, calmly rose to a height of 22 thousand meters and knocked out the enemy’s vaunted aircraft.

It's no secret that Soviet air defense systems changed the course of history. Cuba owes its freedom precisely to our air defense. Kennedy abandoned the invasion when another Lockheed was shot down over Liberty Island. Also, anti-aircraft missile systems developed by Academician Grushin protected the skies over Vietnam, Egypt, and Syria. In Vietnam, the US Air Force lost more than 4,000 aircraft shot down by our missiles and carpet napalm bombing stopped. And during the Arab-Israeli war, after our missiles appeared on Egyptian territory, Israeli pilots refused to fly and were shot in front of the formation. Jews have never been kamikazes. The Japanese flew disposable planes that took off but did not land. That's why they made a "banzai" into some kind of American warship.

By the way, we owe the missile defense rings around Moscow Lavrentiy Beria. It was he who ordered Stalin created KB-1, which included the best minds. The result of their work was a unique multi-channel radar shield for guiding anti-aircraft missiles. But with the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, we lost all our former power. Now the situation is generally critical. Our defense industry cannot provide air defense troops modern complexes because it is inundated with foreign orders for decades to come S-300. Obligations under contracts with foreign partners exceed state defense orders; defense enterprises, even today, cannot lose clients, but they will always wait for their own... Recently, the legendary 16th Air Army, which was created by order of Stalin in August 1942 and passed through combat, was solemnly disbanded the path from Stalingrad to Berlin. Many ace pilots fought in its ranks, including three times Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Kozhedub. And now modern hucksters want to take away the Kubinka airfield near Moscow from the Air Force, where it was based 16th Air Army to make the first airport in Russia for business aviation there. $%*$#(*#@#*$%(# (mat filter)

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, many unfinished strategic air defense facilities were abandoned, which were subsequently looted and desecrated. The purpose of this trip was to visit abandoned air defense facilities in the Moscow region.

Object "Protected communication node". An abandoned multi-story military bunker in Voronovo.

Our first object was an abandoned communications bunker located near the village of Voronovo on Kaluzhskoye Highway. We got to it through the village of Trinity, and then through the field.

It is almost impossible to establish for certain the purpose of this object. Unless, of course, you have access to "top secret" archives. Therefore, there are a number of hypotheses, each of which has the right to exist. According to one version, the object is a false position. This is assumed because the construction period is very long - more than 10 years. There is also an opinion that this is a missile defense starting position, but all known starting positions have at least eight mines. And in our case, the object has only 4 silos, although they are suitable in size for anti-missile missiles. Well, the most realistic version regarding the purpose of this object: an automated secure communication center with retractable antennas for communication with a satellite constellation. Let's focus on this version.

The facility is a three-story building built in a foundation pit for backfill. Combat duty is carried out automatically, with a minimum duty shift. On the territory there is a barracks of a security company, a checkpoint, a transformer substation and the remains of the NUP. Behind the territory are the remains of the construction battalion barracks. The 3rd and 2nd floors of the building are intended for the installation of reception/transmission, the 1st for life support systems and ensuring the autonomy of the facility (air preparation, diesel, compressors, transformers, etc.) The system is two-channel. The channel antennas (one shaft for reception and one shaft for transmission) are grouped in pairs.

General view of the object. On the right in the photo is a cable walker

There is a fragile wooden bridge leading to the main entrance to the bunker. It's scary to climb it. Height - 5 meters.

I jumped in with a run.

I jumped in with a run.

Having examined the object up and down, we moved on. Not far from the village of Sharapovo, the highway offers a view of the Chernetsk radar station Danube-3U. The Chernetsk Danube-3U radar is part of the A-135 missile defense system, the tasks of which are to detect the flight of enemy intercontinental missiles with the transmission of information to the Don-M (Sofrino) radar, and the Don-M provides the actual guidance of the missile defense.

Chernetsk radar Danube-3U

Anti-aircraft missile system S-300

Our next goal was an abandoned anti-aircraft missile fortification S-300, located just outside the village of Ermolovo. The facility was based S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, which went on combat duty at the turn of the 80s. The object is currently decommissioned. And we studied what was left of it.

Where can you get away from a submarine that has not sailed anywhere for 27 years?

Today I would like to show you a very cool Crimean artifact - the B-380 submarine, built in 1981-1982, and tell you a little about the PD-16 floating dock (built in 1938-1941 and has not sailed anywhere since virtually the day of victory), in where she has been since 1992.

Greetings readers!
Today I have some unexpected material on my blog. The fact is that I really love almost any technical museum and visit them quite often, but I rarely decide to review it on a blog or anywhere else at all, because few people can be surprised by a museum (especially a famous and popular one). Unless it’s a museum that is completely unusual (for example, like) or that really impressed me (in Vladivostok, St. Petersburg or Krasintsovsky in the Tula region)

Today's report is different. Today I want to show from the inside one of the exhibits of the Navy Museum in Tushino, Moscow, which for some reason is not allowed to visitors. As you might have guessed from the title, we will talk about the A-90 "Eaglet" ekranoplane.
I have already published once before, at the time of my visit to the Volga plant hidden in one of the workshops of Nizhny Novgorod. Since then, alas, the Rescuer has never become a museum, just as it has never left the closed territory of the shipbuilding enterprise.
What about the "Eaglet", which has been in the Moscow Navy Museum since 2007? What is stopping the museum from adding the opportunity to view this beautiful unit into the entertainment program for tourists along with visiting the submarine? It would seem that the bridge to the door was built long ago, but the ekranoplan is closed to visitors. Maybe it's a matter of poor internal security? - after all, this Eaglet, being one of five copies released (and only two surviving today), before its appearance in Moscow, lay idle somewhere in Kaspiysk for quite a long time, just as the beautiful Harrier (of the same project as Rescuer, but combative).
The only way to find out how the Eaglet feels from the inside is to go inside by moving the partition installed across the bridge and opening the door with the handle from the balcony, while the guards are not looking (note: the circumstances of the entrance are described at the time of inspection some time ago - everything could have changed) . I hope that someday the guards will forgive me for this terrible crime, because curiosity is not a vice?
Below the cut is the result of the visit.

Good day everyone!
Today we will walk through the empty floors of the buildings of the former Strategic Missile Forces Academy, located in the very heart of our capital, literally a few steps from the Kremlin - right behind Zaryadye Park, on the embankment of the Moscow River.
Two or three years ago, the academy was transferred to Balashikha, where it was decided to locate it on the basis of the Military Technical University of the Ministry of Defense. The plot of land became the property of the city, after which, along with all the buildings, it was put up for auction under a number of conditions. In particular, the future investor was required to preserve and restore all buildings on the territory, as well as open it to visitors. It is planned to house a hotel, apartments and retail space in the former buildings of the Academy, as well as connect the resulting complex with Zaryadye Park.
From an economic point of view, the place is extremely rich and is much better suited for business than for training senior military personnel... Be that as it may, since the missilemen moved, the academy buildings were cut off from power supply and heating and, in fact, abandoned. On the corner there was a town of Zaryadye construction workers, the territory was taken under lax security by several private security companies.

Greetings to everyone who returned alive from the May holidays :)
Well, I’m also back and ready to please readers with photos from a number of unusual European abandoned objects.
In particular, today I propose to take a look from the outside and inside at underground air bases.

This time, many of the photos will feature silhouettes of people - mostly to convey an idea of ​​the scale of the structures.
Due to the fact that Yandex decided to close its “Photos” project, I’ll try Flickr as a new hosting - I hope at least this one doesn’t die :)

Everyone has been told the standard Cinderella story with a happy ending and no moral, but today I have a completely different tale for you.

No glass slippers or princes willing to waste time searching - only harsh modernity!

The other day, information surfaced in the community that a very beautiful and unusual place was about to be vandalized - an abandoned research stand. Young stalkers gathered to organize a “gathering” there and for some reason, with photos and descriptions, announced this event three weeks in advance.
Well, then - someone was able to find it themselves using these input data, for someone it turned out to be easier to ask through friends, and someone had even been near this object before, but did not pay enough attention to it... In general, it’s like No matter what, last weekend history buffs and aesthetic connoisseurs went to the site, trying to get ahead of not only the destruction squads, but also each other :)

The object turned out to be very worthy, although fairly battered by life... The complex of buildings included a couple of research installations with the units attached to them. One of the installations - a wind tunnel - visually resembles a huge dragon. Having lived intensely for 50 years and suffered for another dozen after the stagnation of the 90s, he died, leaving connoisseurs with his aesthetically beautiful and mediocrely protected corpse :)

Since I have some free time, I decided to cheer it up a little - maybe someone uses them at least sometimes :)
I set myself the task of adding tags of the year of shooting to the photo reports.
Because even sometimes it’s interesting to remember what year you visited and took photos. Especially in the context of repeat visits.
So far, only a part has been done, but the plan is to get to the very first posts - and even destroy those in which the photos have irretrievably disappeared, otherwise they are hanging. Well, if possible, restore photos where the hosting failed, but the pictures themselves remained on the computer. Although it won't be soon.

And then I found a relatively recently written photo post about decaying bunkers in, which I happened to see as early as January 2009 - for seven and a half years they lay on the hard drive, although there is nothing secret in them - just decay that I was too lazy to post.
No DSLRs or RAW - only jpg on a point-and-shoot camera, but from a tripod!
I remember that my delight at these abandoned buildings then was almost stronger than the current impressions of incredible and cool operating objects.

(

Capitals are always protected by the most advanced developments of the military-industrial complex, and Moscow is no exception. There are dozens of abandoned defense sites around the city, many of which are quite spectacular. Let's talk about some of them.

Former launch positions of the S-25 anti-aircraft missile system

To the southwest and west of Moscow there are two abandoned objects. Previously, there were S-25 complexes - anti-aircraft missile systems adopted by the USSR in May 1955. The main task of the complex is to protect the airspace above Moscow and on the approaches to it. The creation of this anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) was one of the most difficult, ambitious and expensive activities of the Soviet Union in the post-war years. In fact, it became the world's first operating air defense system of this scale.

The entire Moscow sky defense system consisted of 56 anti-aircraft missile launch systems located around the capital and forming two rings. Actually, the rings themselves today can be found on the map very simply: these are the A-107 and A-108 highways, also known as the Moscow Small Ring (45 km) and the Moscow Big Ring (90 km).

The roads were made specifically for the needs of military transport communications and the supply of air defense launch platforms. Concrete slabs were laid in several layers specifically so that the roads could withstand the weight of multi-ton rocket tractors. The roads became civilian roads very quickly, although they were officially recognized as such only in the late 1980s, and were covered with asphalt. Moreover, to this day they are all called “concrete”.

For the first time on civilian maps, a large “betonka” appeared in the atlas of the Moscow region in 1991. Prior to this, the guidebook with the Moscow Region map, published by the Main Directorate of Geodesy and Cartography in 1956, contained information only about part of the sections of the large and small rings.

To date, some of the launch sites have been refurbished and modern S-300 air defense systems have been installed on them, while others have remained desolate. One of the empty properties is located west of Moscow, on the big ring, not far from the village of Lesodolgorukovo, on the Volokolamsk highway.

A total of 34 complexes were located on the large ring (the remaining 22 were located on the small ring). Today, several buildings have been preserved here, and one rocket also stands as a monument. There is a beautiful spruce forest around, in which there are also some military buildings, the entrance to which is not restricted in any way, and on the walls and internal doors of the buildings there are warning signs like “No entry” or “Danger to life.” Here you can also find two military units based on the MAZ-543 with an 8x8 wheel arrangement. In general, there is something to see.
Coordinates: 56.021221, 36.343330.

The second abandoned launch site is located further south, but also on a large ring, between the Kaluga and Minsk highways, not far from the village of Vasilchinovo. Some buildings have also been preserved here. The main interest is caused by radio domes - spherical buildings, the acoustics inside of which are simply crazy. Any sound coming from the center of the ball is reflected from the walls and returns back to the center, amplifying many times over.
Coordinates: 55.353058, 36.490833.

Semi-abandoned military training center Nikolo-Uryupino

To the west of Moscow, in the immediate vicinity of the village of Nikolo-Uryupino, there is an object that cannot be called completely abandoned, but in fact it is not in use. Only part of the Center is operational, and you can get into it only as a student at some military department. Most of this landfill is empty and practically unguarded.

The center itself was formed as a result of the expansion of a military training ground, founded back in 1921 in the neighboring village of Nakhabino, which, by the way, is still in operation. The territory of the center is located in the northern part of the test site, closer to Nikolo-Uryupino. You can get here without any problems through the village. Sometimes you can meet military personnel on the territory of the center, but they are absolutely loyal to civilians - local residents often pick mushrooms here and just walk.

There is a lot of interesting things to do in the center. There are several monuments here, but the main interest is in models of military equipment, trenches and trenches. In the wooded area there are chaotically scattered figures of armored vehicles and aircraft. In some places training trenches have been dug, there are mobile bridges and temporary firing points.
Coordinates: 55.803406, 37.193233.

Unfinished hospital of the internal security service

The building is interesting primarily because in the central and right wings there is access to the roof, which offers a gorgeous view of the surrounding area. Inside, a post-apocalyptic atmosphere reigns: bare walls painted by local graffiti artists, gloomy corridors and howling wind.

The left wing is not worth visiting; only the frame has been built here, and its reliability is very doubtful. The central and right wings are much better preserved, and there are no signs of collapse. In addition to the roof and interior of the building, there is also an underground part. The pipe-cable collector and the basement are poorly preserved, and the possibilities of movement there are very limited, although it’s worth a look.

Although you can move around here freely, as with any other abandoned site, special care should be taken. The building looks very reliable, but do not forget that it has been standing in this form for almost a quarter of a century, and the waterproofing of the structure has almost never been completed completely, and the water is gradually “wearing away” the floors.
Coordinates: 55.739265, 37.995358.
