Russia

Camp “Smena”

There is no more here children’s laughter, no one is running trying to catch each other, the joyful feeling of something good is missing now. On the walls is written “you are doomed,” bottles of vodka are scattered on the floor, all toys lie with torn eyes. Children have grown up and now they have […]

Barracks on Edge of Earth

Here I’m standing in Vladivostok, the city of my dreams. The cold wind beats me in the face, so far unaccustomed to me after the hot Asia. In the city itself there is absolutely nothing to see at the beginning of June, so I immediately start to type in the search engine two cherished words […]

Let’s Fly to Irkutsk?

Visiting abandoned places in -30 probably is not the best idea? But this is our first time in Siberia, and who knows when will be the second time? Today, Stalker visits the abandoned buildings of the aviation school in Irkutsk – join us!

Siberian Cold Wave

We move on …. and now the wind of the salty black sea brings us to the immobile calm lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world.

Club Galaktika

And the waves of the sea brought us into the abyss of a new abandoned galaxy.

Saint Petersburg Secrets

In a city where everything is beautiful, there must be also beautiful abandoned objects. This is what I was thinking about during my visit to St. Petersburg. My thoughts soon proved to be true.

Jewish Cemetery

Being a small girl, I was always passing these two abandoned and forgotten by everyone cemeteries. But now we have Stalker, so it’s time to catch the passing epoch, and leave some traces of it.

Laboratory Animals

Were you ever curious to see what people in laboratories do? Which experiments do they put on animals and what are their results? But of course we, mere mortals, will never see this. So all we need – is to wait when the laboratory becomes abandoned – and then… you are welcome!

Stolen from the Helpless

Probably you have heard some stories about Russian banditry, and what happens if one gangsta wants to take a pretty gorgeous place. We are Russians by ourselves, and we also know some stories. But even we were surprised to open out that it can happen like this.

Welcome Back to School

In Russia, there are incredibly few abandoned buildings in which at least something has survived. Therefore, when you find one, you need to take your foot in your hands (or rather, charge the camera and take flashlights) and immediately go to the place. That’s what we did today after yesterday’s hint about one school in […]
