The lighthouse was built with great difficulty in 1939 according to the project of the architect Miura Shinobu, it was a unique and most complex technical structure in all of Sakhalin. It operated on a diesel generator and backup batteries until the early nineties, and after it was re-equipped. Thanks to the atomic energy source, maintenance costs were minimal, but soon there were no funds left for this - the building was empty, and in 2006 the military removed two isotope installations that powered the lighthouse from here. Once it shone for 17.5 miles, but now it has been plundered and fallen into disrepair.
Fairytale castle in Conclusion
It can be found in a picturesque forest area, on the high bank of a small lake, between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Manor of the architect A.S. Khrenova was built in late XIX century according to his own design. A distinctive feature of the house is complete asymmetry, as well as a combination of natural and artificial materials during construction. What appears to the eye is not medieval castle, not like a classic city estate, in which there was a sanatorium in Soviet times. Currently, the house is being restored very slowly, so it cannot be considered completely abandoned.
Five-star hotel "Northern Crown"
The construction of the Northern Crown Hotel began in 1988 by a Yugoslav company. They wanted to build a five-star hotel with 247 rooms with a total area of about 50,000 square meters. m.

Eighth workshop of the Dagdiesel plant, Kaspiysk
Naval weapon test station, commissioned in 1939. It is located at a distance of 2.7 km from the coast and has not been used for a long time. Construction was carried out for a long time and was complicated by difficult conditions: the foundation was made on the shore, and then delivered to the construction site. The walls are 14 meters deep and 1.5 meters thick. Unfortunately, the workshop did not serve the plant for long. The requirements for the work carried out in the workshop changed, and in April 1966 this grandiose structure was written off from the factory balance. Now this “Massiv” is abandoned and stands in the Caspian Sea, resembling an ancient monster from the shore.
Diamond quarry "Mir", Yakutia
In 2004, open pit diamond mining ended and the mine reached 525 meters deep and 1,200 meters wide, making it the second largest excavated hole in the world after the Bingham Canyon mine. The hole is so big air space above the shaft is closed to helicopters due to accidents in which they were sucked into the downdraft. The landscape around looks deserted and completely alien.

Coal was mined here, due to which most of the Magadan region received energy, but after the explosion at the mine, people began to leave, the village was closed and disconnected from heat and electricity.

Mir diamond quarry, Yakutia
This mine was already 1,200 meters wide and 525 meters deep when diamond mining ceased in 2004. On this moment it is the second largest dug hole in the world - so big that the airspace above it had to be sealed off to keep helicopters from crashing due to downdrafts.

Coal was mined in Kadykchan, which was used to provide energy for most of the Magadan region. But when there was an explosion at the mine, people began to leave. So this village became an abandoned mining "ghost town". Here in the houses you can see books and furniture, and in the garages - standing cars, but not to meet people.
Former naval submarine base Bechevinka, Kamchatka
This military town was founded in the 1960s and was a base for submariners. Every week, just once, a ship went here, which was the only way to communicate with other settlements.

This building of the sanatorium once received visitors, but after the fire that occurred here, it was abandoned. The burnt-out building housed a cinema, and the furniture still remained in the rooms.

Abandoned medical institutions, perhaps, stand out for their particular gloom and mystery, and this maternity hospital is no exception. In 2013, the building was intended to be renovated, but the work never started.
Since security remained in the building for a long time, many of the things left here were preserved intact, which makes it seem as if the building is still alive. In these spacious halls, one imagines people waiting for good news from the doctor.
so creepy and mysterious places our world is full. Old cemeteries, chapels, abandoned cities and hospitals.
Do you think this only exists abroad? Russia is huge, and we have more such places than in any other country. Shall we take a walk?
1. Damn graveyard
The Devil's Cemetery is a round bare glade 250 m in diameter. It is located in the middle of the taiga, 100 km from the confluence of the Kova River into the Angara. It is noteworthy that there is no vegetation at all in the clearing, and the trees surrounding it are charred, as if a fire was raging here. According to one version, it was here, and not in the area of Podkamennaya Tunguska, that the Tunguska meteorite fell.
In the 20s and 30s of the last century, cattle often wandered into the clearing. And he died. Local residents had to pull it out with hooks, because they were afraid to enter the clearing themselves. The meat of the fallen cattle was abnormally red. It is believed that people also died here - before the Great Patriotic War, several hundred people died near the meadow or on it. Walking there is not recommended. To put it mildly.
2. Myasnoy Bor
Myasnoy Bor, also known as Death Valley, is located in the Novgorod region. Finding this place is not so easy: now it is overgrown with forest, swamped, and only the remains of railway wartime.
At first glance, there is nothing terrible in Myasnoy Bor. But there is a story: during the Great Patriotic War, tens of thousands of soldiers, both Russians and Germans, died here. The remains are still not buried. They say that here you can find terrible wartime artifacts: bayonets, helmets, bones and skulls.
3. Building of the sanatorium "Energia"
The ruins of an abandoned sanatorium are located 15 km from the Moscow Ring Road. Previously, the sanatorium was considered almost a work of art: a park was laid out in the courtyard, sculptures were installed. The building itself was once a beautiful two-story building. And from the outside, it still looks like an ordinary building, except that a little renovation would not hurt.
Inside, the picture is different. Rubbish is everywhere, windows are smashed. In the rooms - broken furniture, torn old books and photographs. Now the building is almost destroyed, and half of it burned down, and in this part even the walls are almost gone.
4.The village of Kadykchan in the Magadan region
Kadykchan (translated from the Evenk language as "Valley of Death") was built in 1943. Coal was found in this place at a depth of 400 m highest quality. Until 1996, several thousand people lived in the village. In Stalin's times, there was even one of the Gulag camps here. And in 1996, there was an explosion at the mine, and people began to leave.
By 2006, 791 people remained in the village. A couple of years later - only 400. They refused to leave, but back in 2003 the authorities decided to close the unprofitable village and closed the only boiler house in the city. It became impossible to live in the city, and the Kadychkans dispersed. The authorities did not consider it necessary to evacuate the residents.
Now Kadychkan is a mining ghost town. Books and furniture remained in the houses, broken benches and monuments on the streets.
5. Bay "Finval", an abandoned submarine base of the Navy
The bay is located in the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-54. Official name bay - "Bechevinskaya", but because of secrecy it was renamed "Finval". Previously, submarines were stationed here: since 1971, the composition of the division has changed several times, until in 1996 it was decided to close the base. All property was removed, electricity and water supply was turned off. Simultaneously with the base, the Shipunsky missile settlement was also closed.
The only ones left were at home. Submarines were transferred to another bay.
7. Abandoned naval training base on Russky Island
Military unit 25108 was disbanded in 2001. Russky Island had the status of a closed territory for a long time. In Soviet times, there were many military camps here - in fact, the island was the largest training base of the Soviet Navy.
In 1993, in parts Pacific Fleet Four soldiers died of starvation, and another 250 sailors were hospitalized with a diagnosis of dystrophy. The main military prosecutor's office opened a criminal case, the investigation was conducted until 1998. They punished only the senior midshipman Vytrishchak, in whose house they found food stolen from the warehouse. The rest of the people involved got off with fines. Now the unit has been disbanded and abandoned, and inside the buildings are the remains of furniture and soldier's equipment. Some pranksters sometimes "decorate" the hulls additionally - they hang raincoats so that from the side it seems that a person is hanging in a noose.
8. Sablinsky caves
The cave system originated from the extraction of quartz sand from the 18th to the 20th century. In 1922, the mines closed and the caves were abandoned.
The Sablinsky caves were a classified object until the end of the 1970s. Then runaway prisoners hid in the catacombs, and every year ten people disappeared in these places. The bandits were to blame, and quicksand, and collapsed corridors. But attempts to take the bandits who had settled in the caves were useless: the Sablinsky caves stretched for several kilometers, and it was impossible to look for someone in the natural labyrinths.
In the 1980s, the caves were home to 200 people who lived in communities. Now there are no active underground groups, and the terrible Sablinsky caves have turned into a tourist attraction. A tour of the safe part of the caves costs only 600 rubles. Tourists are not allowed into the unsafe area.
9. Death Valley in Kamchatka
Death Valley in Kamchatka was discovered in 1975. The corpses of animals and birds are often found here. Animals are dying from high concentration poisonous gases - hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and carbon disulfide. The corpses of animals in this place are preserved for an unusually long time and do not decompose even in the open air - the poisonous atmosphere suppresses the oxidative processes caused by bacteria.
People shouldn't stay here too long. Scientists and tourists after Death Valley suffer from headaches, fever, dizziness and general weakness. But if you leave in time dangerous place you'll be back to normal pretty quickly.
Walking through this natural "hell" is not for the faint of heart. There is a very high chance of stumbling upon the corpses of careless animals. People usually have time to leave.
10.Khovrinskaya hospital in Moscow
Khovrinsky hospital began to be built in 1980 on the site of a cemetery. Five years later, construction stopped, and the huge unfinished building was abandoned. Now the basements are flooded, and the building is slowly sinking underground.
The place has acquired numerous urban legends. Thrill-seekers come here - still, a sort of gate to the other world right in the middle of Moscow!
11.Shelter for submarines in Pavlovsk
The shelter began to be built in the 1960s. Construction was carried out for 20 years, but in the 1980s it stalled, and the base was never completed. All concrete work was completed, only the interior decoration remained to be done. But in 1991, the US and the USSR signed the Treaty on the Limitation of Strategic Arms, and the Pavlovsk submarine base in Primorsky Krai was included in the list of objects that the USSR undertook to close.
The hideout is creepy. Its central part is two parallel tunnels connected by passages. Both tunnels, so huge that a submarine can easily enter them, are flooded with water. There are eight entrances to the shelter in total. It is difficult to estimate its true size: many passages are flooded, and it is not known where they lead. Yes, one more thing: there are sources of radiation on the territory of the military unit and the radiation background is increased, so it’s better not to walk here without a special suit.
