If someone tells you Vladimir Putin was bombing Russian cities, don’t rush to call him crazy. It’s partly true. Probably not a city, more like a town, and not inhabited by people but 10,000 of the inhabitants evicted a few years before this happened. This all happened in 2005 in a Halmer-U.

Ruins of ex-town Halmer-U stay 60 km North-East from Vorkuta city. The name of the town translates as “River by the cemetery” from the local people’s dialect. Even before the town appeared local people were burring their dead here and considered the place to be sacred.
