Military areas with a long history often resemble an ordinary forest — only instead of mushrooms and flowers in such a forest there are quite different surprises. Войсковые части с богатой историей зачастую напоминают обычный лес, — только вот вместо грибов и цветов в таком лесу встречаются сюрпризы совсем иной природы… Автор: Lana Sator

[The last stop of Train Zero] In the period 1987-1994 in the Soviet Union were built 12 missile trains BZHRK — railway combat missile systems — which included 36 launchers for intercontinental ballistic missiles RT-23 «Molodets» (SS-24 in NATO classification). In 1993 START-2 treaty between Russia and the United States ordered Russia to remove all missiles of this class, abandon missile trains and destroy launch cars — and although Russia withdrew from this agreement in 2002, all mobile launchers were disposed of between 2003 and 2007. In memory of this period of history we have not only an exhibition launcher

Bombshelter for 80 people equipped inside a transport and launch container from an intercontinental ballistic missile. Wooden bunks and benches, water reserve tanks hidden under the floor, surface air filtration units, autonomous power plant, main entrance and emergency exit, two toilets. This could be a great joke about the practicality of the Russian man in the Cold War — but it’s not a joke. Perhaps, now you’ve seen everything? Бомбоубежище на 80 человек, оборудованное внутри транспортно-пускового контейнера от межконтинентальной баллистической ракеты.

☠️ The Apotheosis of War ☠️ The concentration of military facilities in Moscow region is impressive, although it’s quite logical — the capital must be guarded. Constant reforms and transformations lead to the fact that some new abandoned military units are appearing every year around Moscow and inside it.

💣 Shore Artillery 💣 Exploring of abandoned industrial and military areas combined with a strong interest in history sometimes leads urbexes to places that have not yet been fully abandoned by personnel or even standing on alert. While the coastal fortification of the early 20th century is often not used by the military for a long time, turned into public museums or severely destroyed — there are some preserved guns in such a condition that they can be returned to service in a few days. Once we had a chance to visit one such cannon complex. Despite the fact that

📡 Misty radars of military airfield📡 Sometimes weather makes usual locations look unusual. Foggy days are the best for exploring military areas! Туманные радары военного аэродрома! Иногда погода превращает обычные места в необыкновенные, туманная погода идеальна для прогулок по территориям войсковых частей. Сижу дома и вспоминаю долгие поездки через множество областей, на тысячи километров от дома. Закрыты границы стран, а скоро могут закрыть и все регионы, — некоторые уже закрыты. Надеюсь, такого не будет, — невыносимо сидеть дома целую неделю, неделю за неделей, трудно и небезопасно для мозгов. Для перемещения по Москве и области на транспорте уже нужно делать пропуска,
