The heritage of the Soviet Union, results of USSR collapse or just some criminal neglect. Abandoned factories, military regiments, and even space ships. Country that doesn't exist anymore, objects frozen in time. Just a few photos to get an idea of the big sad picture. Starting with a "DUGA" radio radar station in Pripyat Ukraine, that was finished in 1985 just one year before Chernobyl accident. It was used for early detection of ballistic missile launches.
It was of giant size, 140 m tall, 500 m in length. Over 200 tons of metal was used to build it. The station never was used and even didn't pass the final tests.
A huge abandoned particle collider, in Moscow region.
