On the territory of the former USSR, you can find a large number of abandoned objects that resemble us about the greatness of the Soviet Union. Military facilities, equipment, plants, submarines and space ships were unnecessary to anyone, and therefore their fate was not the best. Let's take a look at the Heritage of the USSR of the Cold War, which is found in Russia and neighboring countries.
Abandoned collider. Protvino, Moscow region.
Aralsk-7, Renaissance Island. The ghost city, where the rumors were experiencing biological weapons. A fully autonomous city was urgently left in the early 90s.
Corrugistic Radar Station Arc (RRS Arc, Pripyat, Ukraine) - Created for early detection of launching of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Construction was completed in 1985 near the Chernobyl NPP.
RRS arc had cyclopic dimensions! Height - 140 m, length - 500 m. For construction, 200 thousand tons of metal were used. The station did not stand in combat duty and did not pass the tests.

Due to the deterioration of the state of the picturesque waterfall of Tegendam, located nearby, the flow of tourists began to dry out. In the 1990s, a period of decline of the structure began. Currently, the hotel that received the status of the cultural heritage object is reconstructed and turned into a museum.

On the territory of the former Soviet Union, you can find a large number of large-scale projects that were some unnecessary. Grand Objects for which considerable money was sometime were spent, over time they decline, and now represent value only for curious travelers and Diggers. With the most terrible and mysterious places with you will introduce this post.
Balloon under Dubna
In the woods under Dubna, that in Russia, a huge hollow ball with a diameter of about 18 meters can be found. Find it will be complicated by himself, but local residents Always with hunting will tell you how to get to the local "sights." From the height of a bird's-eye, the ball can be taken for UFOs, but in reality it is a dielectric cap for a parabolic space bond antenna. Transferred with helicopters, however, the cable burst during transport. To export the dome turned out to be too problematic. It is made by the word, from the fiberglass of a cellular structure. It repeatedly enhances any noise and a powerful echo is published.
Hovrinskaya Hospital
Eleven-story abandoned, unfinished hospital in Moscow. Traditionally gets into all sorts of official ratings most terrible places Planets. Build a multidisciplinary hospital began in the 80s. It was designed for 1,300 beds. Stopped construction in 5 years, when all the housings have already been erected. Ironically, all the next decades, the Hovrinsk hospital does not save, and cripples and takes life. Here for a long time "prescribed" the homeless people, drug addicts and fans of acute sensations. Accidents in the territory of patients - sadness.
Crimean nuclear power plant
An unfinished nuclear power station, which is located near the town of Schlalkino. The first design calculations were made back in 1964. Construction began in 1975. It was assumed that this NPP will ensure the electricity of the entire Peninsula Crimea. She also had to become a starting point, for the further development of industry in these places. The first reactor was planned to be launched in 1989, the construction was accounted for without any deviations. However, the shaking economy of the USSR, together with the tragedy at the Chernobyl NPP, put a cross in the Crimean project. At that time, more than 500 million Soviet rubles spent at the station, and in warehouses there were materials and equipped for another 250 million Soviet rubles. All this was stolen in subsequent years. It is worth adding that the Crimean NPP fell into the Guinness Book of Records, as the most expensive power plant of this type.
Balaclava
In 2003, for the first time in 46 years of its existence, the Balaclava submarine base appeared on everyone's review. Today it is an exclusively tourist object, and once the base was one of the most secret objects of the Soviet Union. Submarines were in a huge underground complex. The base could withstand the nuclear attack with the most powerful charges and was built in case of atomic war. The base consists of a water canal, dry dock, numerous warehouses of various profiles and enclosures for military personnel. The object was closed in 1994, after the last submarine was taken off. For many years, the pride of the Soviet Union was simply plundered.
Object 221.
Not far from Sevastopol, in addition to the already mentioned base for submarine repair, one can find another, once secret object of the Soviet Union. We are talking about the bunker - the object 221. It had a lot of names, but all of them was hidden by the spare team of the Black Sea Fleet. You can find the object under the village of Frost. It was a real underground city. It began to build it in 1977. The object lies at a depth of 200 meters, where 4 floors of the enclosures are located. The community of the underground part of the complex - 17 thousand sq.m. To date, the object is completely looted and ruined.
Atomic Lighthouse at Cape Aniva
On Sakhalin, you can find Cape Aniva, where there is a unique atomic lighthouse. The lighthouse has the height of the nine-story house. Previously, up to 12 people could be on duty. Today, this once unique complex is completely looted by marauders and does not function.
Rocket Complex "Dvina"
The collapse of the Soviet Union "presented" to the former republics a huge arsenal of the most different weapons, including launchers. So, under the capital of Latvia, in the forests, one can find the once unique, secret launcher "Dvina". It was built in 1964. it huge complexconsisting of bunkers and launchers, most of which today flooded. Attending the complex is extremely not recommended due to remnants there is extremely poisonous rocket fuel.
Shop number 8 of the plant "Dagdizel"
In Caspian, that in Dagestan, you can find a unique factory workshop built directly on the water. Treated shop to the plant "Dagdizel". They built it for the test of sea types of weapons, in particular a variety of torpedoes and rockets. The plant was unique to the USSR. They built it on a cutlery of 530 thousand cubic meters, which dug up with special shells. "An array" was installed in it, which later lowered a all-metal 14-meter construction. The total area of \u200b\u200bthe constructed shop exceeds 5 thousand sq.m. The station was equipped for permanent residence and work. However, by the mid-60s of the 20th century, the project was turned off as unnecessary due to too rapidly changing trends in the field of weapons design. From the fact that the building is abandoned and gradually destroyed by the Caspian Sea.
Lopatinsky phosphate mine
Not far from the town of Vastzensk, which in the Moscow region, you can easily find a huge mining mine in the extraction of phosphares. This deposit is unique in Europe and the largest. The first developments here began in the 30s of the 20th century. All types of multi-loving excavators worked on numerous careers: tracked, rail and walking. Rail excavators had special equipment for the movement of the rail. Since the 90s, the mine is actually abandoned, careers are filled with water, and an expensive special equipment is simply rotting in the open sky.
Ionosphere Study Station
In the serpent, the area of \u200b\u200bthe city in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine you can find a unique station of studying the ionosphere. It was built almost before the sake of the USSR. She was a direct analogue of the American HARP project, which is deployed in Alaska and successfully operates to this day. The Soviet complex consisted of several antenna fields and one gigantic parabolic antenna with a diameter of 25 meters. Unfortunately after the collapse of the Union, the station turned out to be no one. Today, incredibly expensive scientific equipment is simply rotating or rarely in stalkers and non-ferrous metals hunters.
"Northern Crown"
Initially, the North Corona Hotel was called Petrogradskaya. It began to build it in 1988. The hotel is not famous for its beauty, but a huge number of accidents during construction. The metropolitan of John died in his walls from a heart attack, Metropolitan John died, immediately after lighting the building.
Elementary particle accelerator
In the USSR could be his hadron collider. The unique complex began to build in the Moscow region, in Protvino in the late 1980s. How it is not difficult to guess the collapse of the USSR actually put the cross on the scientific project. A 21-kilometer tunnel was already completely ready for the collider. Equipment even began to import equipment. The works continued and after, however, very sluggish. Funding was literally enough only on the coverage of tunnels.
"Oil stones"
In Azerbaijan, you can find a real sea city. We are talking about the so-called "oil stones." He appeared after the Soviet geologists in the 40s of the 20th century found huge oil deposits in the Caspian Sea. Thanks to the development of production, a whole city appeared on embankments and metal overpass. Power plants, hospitals, nine-story houses and much more were built on the water! In total, there were about 200 platforms with residents. The total kilometer of the streets amounted to 350 km. However, the cheap Siberian oil that appeared later put the cross in local mining, and the city fell into decay.
