Abandoned objects of the world. The most frightening abandoned places in Russia (25 photos)

Among all mysterious and mysterious phenomena on our amazing planet, perhaps the most inexplicable is the emergence of ghost cities. Once blooming, noisy, full of lives places become a white spot on the map.

Before telling about the biggest abandoned city of the world, we note that the reasons for the appearance of ghost cities. These are both man-made catastrophes, termination of financing, military conflicts, technical miscalculations. The reasons for the launch of some seats, scientists cannot explain, but for each such story there is a human tragedy.

Iulin. Russia

Let's start our journey with a village in the Chukotka Autonomous District of Russia. Back in 1937, the largest polymetallic deposit in the world was opened here.

Geologists from all over the Soviet Union came to the growing town. Here the Wolfram, Tin, Molybdenum, Molybdenum, were mined here. In the late 1950s, a mining and processing plant was opened, which became a city-forming enterprise.

After the collapse of the USSR, the plant was closed, the production of metals stopped. By the year 2000, Iulin, numbering in the days of his dawn, 5 thousand inhabitants was completely empty.

San Taiwan

In the late 70s of the twentieth century on the northern coast of Taiwan Island, they decided to implement a grandiose project for the construction of a luxury resort town.

Unusual and stylish houses were intended for rich customers. But in the process of construction, rumors began to spread about the curse of this place.
Luxurious real estate so no one has purchased. Locals believe that in San, they chose the souls of the dead.

The luxury resort became a ghost town, whose streets will overgrow weary grass, and only the wind walks among the houses. The site is very hoping that soon this place will turn into a popular prejudice museum under the open-air.

Chernobyl. Ukraine

One of the most terrible places on the planet. Chernobyl city empty after the explosion at NPP in April 1986. The catastrophe in those days shook the whole world.

Of the biggest pride of the Soviet Union, the town of Nuclearies and the station became the biggest disappointment. But the radiation made Chernobyl and the pripens not only dangerous, but also popular.

Tourists, despite the radioactive danger, attend the reactor and the abandoned city itself. In addition, this place attracts adventurers and numerous adventurers who visit the ghost city unofficially.

Famagusta. Cyprus

The war between Turkey and Greece led to the emergence on the map of another abandoned city of Famagusta. Two states could not divide the territory, and the resort turned into a distinction zone.

Once a blooming and crowded city has devoured in one moment, and now only winds roam here and trees grown through concrete.

The city was partially looted. Now he continues to collapse under the influence of water and the sun. Closed to visits the territory still attracts few extremals, which, risking life, attend abandoned resort.

Kadykchan. Russia

During the Great Patriotic War, the extraction of coal of the Arkagali deposit of the Magadan region began. Next to the mines built a town.

In the 1990s, they came to the conclusion that coal mining is unprofitable, and the mines began to close. People began to leave Kadykchan, and after the explosion at the mine, the lifetime of several mines, the prey ceased at all.

In 2000, the city was disconnected from electricity, but in 2001 people continued to live in the city. To date, the city of mines fully empty.

Hashima. Japan

The island was settled at the beginning of the XIX century, and immediately began coal mining. Japanese companies launched wide production, and the island has become one of the most populous places on Earth.

At the beginning of the 70s of the last century, the coal was designed, and Hashima in 1974 completely empty, becoming the most famous Ghost Island in the world.

People left this place at their own request, when the reserves of coal were dried. Now tourists opened access to the island and, as the Island of the Japanese "Gunkandzim" ("cruiser") became the most popular tourist object.

Kolmanskop. Namibia

The same story that with coal towns occurred in Africa, but residents of Kolmanskopa mined diamonds.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the employee of the railway station discovered in the desert to depart the diamonds. For several years, large houses, hospitals, schools and even stadium were built on the place of production. Kolmanskop has become a prosperous place.

But the reserves of the gems quickly dried out, besides, the lack of water and the sandy storms made life here simply unbearable. Residents quickly left these places, and for many years once a crowded Kolmanskop is a ghost city in the midst of the desert.

Saintrelia. USA

Another town of mines, but already in the United States also became uninhabited and terrible place on the planet. And I started his story Saintrelia in the middle of the XIX century with a small tavern.

Over time, the coal-anthracite industry has become the main production. But in the 60s of the last century, most companies came out of the coal-mining business, and the Shakhtar village began to dare.

In 1962, the mayor decided to cleanse the terrain from the accumulated garbage and a pathery of the trash can. As a result, anthracite, located near the surface, caught fire and continues to smooth until today. Residents left these places, and some of the houses were demolished.

Namie. Japan

In September 2011, a terrible catastrophe near the coast of Japan shocked the whole world. As a result of the earthquake, an explosion occurred at the Fukushim nuclear station. The tragedy has turned the blooming, many thousands of the city in abandoned.

After the accident, it was decided to evacuate the inhabitants, making this area, as in Ukraine, the alienation zone.

The explosions in Chernobyl and on "Fukushima" showed all mankind, as the world created by man, and what danger the raised atomic energy treatment is in itself.

Chaitin. Chile

Nature forced people to leave the town of Chaiten on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Chile.

Located in the foothills of Gorodishko completely died after eruption of the volcano in May 2008. But it is worth noting that the authorities successfully conducted a rescue operation and all the inhabitants were evacuated on time.

In the period from May to September, the street and houses flooded with volcanic ashes and now everything is covered with its thick layer. As in Pompeii, after the eruption of Vesuvius, the time was conserved here. In order to avoid new tragedies, it was decided not to restore Chaitin.

Times Beach. USA

Unproprome, and even criminal actions of a person led to the launch of Times Beach in Missouri. Residents decided to clean the roads from dust, and the contractor used deadly dioxin.

The authorities tried to lean the case, but the information was leaked to the press. In 1985, Time Beach government confirmed that the soil poisoned and the inhabitants were evacuated. The city as an administrative unit ceased to exist, and now there are only empty houses and cracked asphalt.

Enoneling Americans made PR here, and for money they show tourists an example of the greatest engineering catastrophe in history.

Wittenum. Australia

We already know how much there is in Australia, but this place was empty for another reason.

The house for almost 20 thousand people, Wittenum, as a result of the deterioration of the environmental situation, was empty in few months. In the middle of the 20th century, the mining industry flourished here, and the main source of income was extraction of asbestos.

In the 1960s began to notice that mortality among the population was significantly increased, and doctors could not accurately determine the causes of death. Over time, they found out that the asbestos pairs adversely affect human health and cause fatal diseases.

The remaining residents left the ill-fated place, and the abandoned wittenum is covered with a thick layer of asbestos.

Neftegorsk. Russia

The oil production industry was made by Neftegorsk successful and prosperous. High salaries and jobs have attracted people from all over the Soviet Union, but the natural disaster has changed everything in one moment.

On May 25, 1995, almost completely destroyed a huge city. About 2 thousand people were buried under the ruins of buildings.

The authorities decided not to restore the city. Several surviving houses and the monument in memory of the victims became a reminder to humanity about the terrible tragedy.

Villa Epureuen. Argentina

This tourist town has become another tragic example of an ill-impaired human impact on nature. The resort built on the shores of Lake was the most popular holiday destination, while a person did not decide to intervene in natural processes.

Local authorities decided to expand the territory of the lake, but after 10 years, water began to gradually fill the beaches and buildings. In order to contain the water, it was decided to build a dam, but one day she could not stand and flooded Villa Epureuen.

People, saving their lives, left the town. Salt and sun after the decline of water completed the destruction of the once beautiful place. In 2009, Pablo Novak was settled in his dilapidated house, who lived here before flooding.

By the way, about the most planets on the site there is a cognitive article.

Oradur-sur-glan. France

Let's finish our journey in France. Oradur-sur-Glah reminder to descendants about the horrors of the most terrible war in the history of mankind.

On June 10, 1944, the German squad broke into this small town and shot all of its inhabitants, and the houses partially destroyed. After the war, Oradur-sur-Glah decided not to restore. The ghost of the war is a reminder to all mankind about her merciless, cruelty and unnecessaries.

Worldwide many such settlements. Khatyn in Belarus, Coventry in England, Cologne in Germany, and all of them reminding us of terrible crimes against humanity.

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.

Kola ultra-deep well (Murmansk region) is the deepest in the world. Its depth is 12,62 meters; The diameter of the upper part is 92 cm, the diameter of the lower part is 21.5 cm. (archival photos of 1974).

Kola ultra-dust well. So the object looks in our days. In 2008, the object was abandoned, the equipment was dismantled, the destruction of the building began.

Station study of the ionosphere (Ukraine, Zmiev). It was built as an analogue of the American project Haarp on Alaska, in the late 80s.

Kiev Electric Transport Plant has a long history. Opening took place on May 1, 1906. In the photo: Plant shop in the 80s.

During 1974 - 1985 From the conveyor, about a hundred new cargo trolley bus KTG came from the conveyor. And so the Kiev Plant Electric Transport looks like these days.

NPP in shortcino. Crimean secret (and not very) abandoned objects a lot, because the peninsula was the line of defense in the south of the USSR and the Russian Empire. This NPP, for example, had to supply electricity to the entire Crimea.

Store the station in 1974, and in 1987, after the Chernobyl tragedy, the construction was frozen. The station has already managed to take place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive nuclear reactor in the world.

Object number 221, Crimea is a truly secret object. In the photo building-a duzhuzh, which hides under the ground the chain of bunkers. Fearing a nuclear strike. The USSR leadership built a bunker for a spare command post.

Tunnels of the object number 221 (Crimea). In addition to KP, under the Earth were to be evacuated in the case of a nuclear threat of 10 thousand people - officers and their families.

The Crimean Bunker was abandoned in 1992. According to some data, it was ready by 90%.

The object 825 GTS is an underground base of submarines in Balaclava. Secret military facility of the Cold War. The underground complex was built on 8 years old - from 1953 to 1961. After the closure in 1993, most of the complex was not protected.

Object Object 825 GTS is located in the mountain Tavros and is the structure of the first category of protection (direct hit of the atomic bomb 100 CT).

Antioatoic doors of the object 825.

It is difficult to believe, but there are whole cemeteries of technology left for various reasons during the time of the USSR. In the photo: Technique participating in the elimination of the accident at the Chernobyl NPP. Familiar picture for fans s.t.a.l.k.e.r.

This sad picture in the photo is an abandoned hangar next to the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A few years ago, the hangar visited the photographer Ralph Milbs. Collected space shuttles Product 1.02 "Buran-2" - USSR response to American shuttles.

In 1988, the Space Shuttle Buran (Product 1.01) made an automatic flight into space. In 2002, with the collapse of the assembly and test case No. 112, Buran was destroyed.

The collapse of the USSR and the growth of budget cuts forced to reduce the cosmic program.

Space ships remained frozen in time.

The building will not call destroyed, despite the deplorable state.

So hangar looks outside.

Rocket Ship-Schedule of the project 903 Lun - the Soviet killer of aircraft carriers, as they called him in the United States. And it was not far from the truth. The screenoplan was designed to combat surface ships by applying a rocket strike.

LUN due to the high speed of movement and imperceptibility for radars can swim to aircraft carriers at the distance of the exact launch of the rocket.

LUN was a big way from the start of development in the 70s before the transmission to trial operation in 1990. And in 1991, the operation was completed.

That's how the screenplan looks like today. It was installed in the dock in Caspian. The whole secret electronics is handed over to warehouses.

Amderma, RLS Lena-M. The village on the Kara Sea in Soviet times was the center of the largest military infrastructure in the Arctic. Here, large radar settings were installed, fighter aviation was based.

Amderma, Radar Complex Control.

Amderma. Balls of radio transparent shelters for mobile radar.

And this is already the Moscow region, our days. A whole arsenal of military equipment abandoned in the forest.

A similar picture, according to, not such an uncommon in our country. Whole military bases are completely abandoned.

Scrund - once the secret military part of the USSR - the whole city of Latvia is abandoned. There are many such ghosts throughout the existence of the Union.

Abandoned the eighth workshop of the Dagdizel plant in the city of Caspian. The marine weapon test station, which was commissioned in 1939. It is located 2.7 km from the coast.

If you wish, an abandoned aircraft can be found on the expanses of the former USSR. This, for example, not far from the airport in Riga.

What are there planes! Whole airfields are inconsolable. Here, for example, in the city of Vozdvenika, Primorsky Krai.

Airport, Vozdvizhenka, Primorsky Krai.

Abandoned aircraft, Vozdvizhenka, Primorsky Krai.

R-12 Dvina Rocket Complex (Postavy). The complex was built in 1964 and until 1994 stood in service. One of the objects of the Cold War.

According to some data, this picture was made the day before the death of K-159 during transportation to disposal.

Submarines of the project 613 - a series of Soviet average diesel-electric submarines built in 1951-1957.

In addition, in the city it was hard to live because of problems with water and sandy storms, and people left him. Most of the houses are almost entirely covered with sand and makes an oppressive impression.

Pripyat, Ukraine

Abandoned city, located three kilometers from the Chernobyl NPP. After the accident in 1986, he fell into the exclusion zone and became the frustrating ghost of nuclear power. Now there are organized excursions there, and stalkers come there for a walk, but interest in this place does not subside, and all new "urban legends" are born.

These terrible snapshots of abandoned places on our planet are allowed to imagine how this world will look like if people leave him.

, .

After the collapse of the USSR, young states were inherited many of the ever-powerful military and scientific facilities. The most dangerous and secret objects were urgently canned and evacuated, and many others simply abandoned. They remained rust: After all, the economy of most newly minted states simply could not pull their content, they were not needed to anyone. Now, some of them are a kind of Mecca for stalkers, "tourist" facilities that are associated with considerable risk.

"Resident Evil": a super secret complex on the island of the Renaissance in the Aral Sea

In the time of the USSR, a complex of military bio-engineering institutions engaged in the development and testing of biological weapons was located on the island in the middle of the Aral Sea. It was an object of such a degree of secrecy that most employees from those involved in the infrastructure of the mainland service, they simply did not know exactly where they work. On the island itself there were corps and laboratories of the Institute, Vivaria, equipment warehouses. In the town for researchers and military, very comfortable conditions for residence were created in full autonomy conditions. The island was carefully guarded by the military on land and at sea.

In 1992, the entire object was urgently conserved and left by all the inhabitants, including the protection of the object. For some time he remained the "Ghost City" until the marauders were debugged, for more than 10 years, all that was abandoned from the island. The fate of the secret developments operating on the island and their results - crops of death microorganisms - still remains a mystery.

Heavy duty "Russian Woodpecker": Doug Drug radar, Pripyat

Corrugis radar arc radar station is a radar station created in the USSR for early detection of launching of intercontinental ballistic missiles in starting flashes (based on the reflection of the ionosphere radiation). This gigantic structure was built for 5 years and was completed in 1985. The cyclope antenna is 150 meters high and a length of 800 consumed a huge amount of electricity, therefore it was built near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

For the characteristic sound on the air, the station published during operation (knock) was named Russian Woodpecker (Russian Woodpecker). The installation was built on the century and could have been successfully operating to this day, but in the reality of the RLS "Arc" worked less than a year. The object stopped his work after the SESS explosion.

Underwater shelter Submarine: Balaclava, Crimea

According to knowledgeable people, this super-secret base of submarines was a transshipment point, where submarines, including atomic, were repaired, refilled and replenished ammunition. It was a giant complex built on the century, capable of withstanding a nuclear strike, up to 14 submarine vessels could be accommodated at the same time. This military base was built in 1961 and abandoned in 1993, after which the locals were dismantled along the screws.

Also represent the danger and remains of poisonous rocket fuel - heptila, according to some information remaining in the depths of launchers.

"Lost World" in the suburbs: Lopatinsky phosphate mine

The Lopatin Field of Phosphorites 90 km from Moscow was the largest in Europe. In the 30s of the last century, it began to be actively developed in an open way. On the Lopatin career, all the main types of multi-loving excavators were used - moving along rails moving on caterpillars, and excavators, walking "with a" appitable "step. It was a gigantic development with its own railway. After 1993, the deposit was covered, throwing there all expensive imported special equipment.

The production of phosphorites led to the emergence of an incredible "unearthly" landscape. Long and deep pockets of quarries for the most part flooded. They are mixed with high sandy ridges, moving to flat, as the table, sandy fields, black, white and reddish veryans, pine forests with the right rows of suited pines. Giant excavators - "Abzetzers" resemble aliens ships, rusting in the sands of the open-air. All this makes Lopatin careers a peculiar natural and technogenic "reserve", the place is more and more busy pilgrimage of tourists.

"Well in hell": Kolska ultra-deep well, Murmansk region

Kola ultra-dust well - the deepest in the world. Its depth is 12,62 meters. Located in the Murmansk region, 10 kilometers west of the city of Polarmar. The well is drilled in the northeastern part of the Baltic shield exclusively with research objectives 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 on the Kola superhong of the well, the Minister of Geology of the USSR was supervised.

A lot of interesting discoveries were made on the well, for example, that life on Earth arose, it turns out, by 1.5 billion years earlier than expected. At depths, where it was believed that no, and there could be no organic organics, they found 14 types of petrified microorganisms - the age of deep layers exceeded 2.8 billion years. In 2008, the object was abandoned, the equipment was dismantled, the destruction of the building began.

As of 2010, the well is mothballed and gradually collapsed. The cost of recovery is about a hundred million rubles. A multiple-like legends about the "Well in Hell" from the bottom of which, the cries of sinners are heard, and the borants are heard, and the borants are heard.

Russian Haarp - Multifunctional Radio Complex "Sura"

In the late 1970s, within the framework of geophysical studies near the city of Vasilsursk, the Nizhny Novgorod region was built a multifunctional radiocomplex "Sura" to effect on the Earth Ionosphere with a powerful QV radio emission. The complex "Sura", in addition to antennas, radars and radio transmitters, includes a laboratory complex, an economic unit, specialized transformer electrical substation. Classified once the station, on which a number of important research is carried out today, is thoroughly rusted and shabby, but still not abandoned finally object. One of the important areas of research conducted on the complex is the development of methods for protecting the work of technology and means of communication against ion perturbations in the atmosphere of different nature.

Currently, the station works only 100 hours a year, while on the famous American object Haarp, experiments are carried out for 2000 hours over the same period. The Nizhny Novgorod Radiophysical Institute lacks money for electricity - for one day of work, the equipment of the landfill deprives a set of monthly budget. The complex threatens not only lack of money, but also to plunder property. For the lack of due protection, the "hunters" for scrap metal is made to the territory of the station.

"Oil stones" - the sea city of oil miners, Azerbaijan

This settlement on the overpass standing right in the Caspian Sea is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest oil platforms. It was built in 1949 due to the beginning of oil production from the bottom of the sea around black stones - stone ridges, barely speaking on the surface of the sea. Here are drilling rigs connected by hoists on which the settlement of the workers of oil industry is located. The village has grown, and during the flourishing period included power plants, nine-storey buildings of hostels, hospitals, culture house, park with trees, bakery, lemonade manufacturing workshop and even mosque with full-time Mullah.

The length of the overpass streets and the alleys of the sea city reaches 350 kilometers. There was no permanent population in the city, and as part of a watch shift there were up to 2,000 people. The period of decline of oil stones began with the advent of cheaper Siberian oil, which made marine prey with unprofitable. However, the naval town did not yet become a ghost city, in early 2000 there began capital repairs and even started booking new wells.

Submitted collider: Abandoned Elementary Particle Accelerator, Protvino, Moscow Region

In the late 80s, the construction of a huge accelerator of elementary particles was scheduled in the Soviet Union. Moscow Region Scientific Center of Protvino - the cities of nuclear physicists - in those years was a powerful complex of physical institutions, where scientists came from around the world. An annular tunnel of 21 kilometer long, occurring at a depth of 60 meters, was built. He is now located near Protvino. In the ready-made tunnel of the accelerator, they even began to bring the equipment, but then a series of political upheavals was killed, and the domestic "hadron collider" was still not mounted.

Institutes of the city of Protvino support the satisfactory condition of this tunnel - an empty dark rings underground. There is a lighting system, there is an active branch of the narrow-chain. Any commercial projects were offered such as an underground amusement park or even farm to grow mushrooms. However, scientists do not yet give this object - may hope for the best.
