Hello again, dear readers. Firstly, I want to inform you that I have returned from vacation, which means that there will be new reports soon. By the way, I went to Lviv, so there will be many interesting views of the city. Secondly, yesterday we had a wonderful trip to the abandoned pioneer camps, which means that later there will also be photographs. But this is all in the future, but for now I propose to return to the beginning of the year. Then my company and I visited several abandoned and half-abandoned villages. In this regard, I present a new photo report. Here you will be told about the most memorable moments, abandoned houses, curious finds, rural household items and other interesting things.
By the way, I don't write very often from places like this. A similar blog (just part 1) was last fall, you can watch it. Before that, there were a couple of blogs in 2009 and 2010, but now I won't bother looking for it, it's better to go straight to the new part. So, today's reportage is dedicated to a couple of villages and village houses in the Moscow region. All of them are in different ways removed from the capital, but they have one thing in common - either the village is being actively demolished for construction, a couple of living houses remain. Or in the working village there are deaf abandoned houses, which no one has come to for a hundred years, the windows are partially broken, and the fence is missing. This is far from being the case everywhere, but since the capital is growing rapidly, many villages, falling within the boundaries of Moscow, are gradually degrading. Also, the villages near the highways are not lucky, as well as, on the contrary, the villages that are very far from the residential agglomerations. For the most part, such houses are empty, homeless residents often live, and nothing interesting is found. But sometimes quite interesting locations come across. You even wonder how so many old and rather rare things, interior items, old dishes and much more survived. So, I put the photos in a mix to make it proportionally interesting, otherwise some places are quite empty, and some, on the contrary. Go.
1. A typical house built before the revolution. No one lives inside, the door is wide open, the windows are broken. We arrived here in the cold winter. Not the most interesting, but still.
2. We move for several tens of kilometers. We get into the house is more interesting. Shall we sit down for some tea? In the corner we find an old chest, at the table there are Viennese chairs. We raise the seats, we find a pre-revolutionary label, a trifle, but nice) There are many hours scattered on the table. By the way, there will be a lot of hours in the report too.
3. Another house is next. On the terrace we find a portrait of the great poet, which has clearly fallen under the scythe.
4. In one of the houses we find an old piano. The same firm, by the way, as the piano thrown by some freaks out the window of an abandoned school (see at the end). This, thank God, is still alive, but the keys are already seizing. At the top of the piano we find a Soviet set of dominoes.
5. Another stopped clock. Ordinary plastic, Soviet.
6. Sometimes houses come across completely destroyed, for example, the roof collapsed after a fire. The sofa looks a little crazy.
7. And this is the house with Pushkin on the terrace. The ceilings are rotten, the floor is falling through. For example, here, the closet fell down.
8. An experienced birdhouse next to one abandoned vegetable garden at the house.
9. In the attic you can often find various interesting things. In this house, for example, these are ancient items of peasant life (spinning wheels, rakes, pitchforks, wooden shovel, sieve, etc.), notebooks from the 20s and 30s, textbooks of the same time, newspapers, Christmas tree decorations, porcelain dishes, etc. This frame still shows the radio in a very poor condition from the 1940s.
10. Typical cuisine in such houses. An old stove, a water heater, a nice but dusty mirror, and all sorts of junk.
11. Baby dolls always look especially creepy.
12. Another curious room. Here we find the pre-revolutionary Singer sewing machine, or rather a table from her and her. The condition is very unimportant. Time and dampness do their job. There are a lot of old and half-rotten clothes in the closets.
13. Show the base of the camp. Rusty letters "ZINGER" on the back.
14. Every country house should have a red corner.
15. On the way past residential buildings, local inhabitants often come across)
16. Rusty bikes were found on the terrace.
17. And here in the room on the floor is a curious clock.
18. House in the village a short distance from the rest. Strange, by the way. In one room the ceiling collapsed, in the second one is barely breathing, there is practically no fence, the windows are knocked out, and the light in one of the rooms was still working! traces of devastation are visible inside.
19. This leaflet hooked me very strongly. Learning to write in the 1920s. "Get up, branded by a curse, the whole world of hungry and slaves!"
20. In the kitchen in an abandoned house. Letters come across underfoot, an old radio set on the wall.
21. All clocks show different times.
22. Nice wooden shelf.
23. Cover photo. The rug looks especially sad. Russia-three, where are you rushing? And really, where ...
24. Soviet pinball. Curious thing, never seen before. Although I saw a lot of the Chinese 90s. The state is awful.
25. One hut, almost completely blown apart.
26. In the house from shot 18. Buffet in the kitchen. Surprisingly perfect save! As if no one has lived for two or three years, but no one has climbed or beaten. Although the dishes are late Soviet and not uncommon, so it is not surprising.
27. Notebooks of the 20s, 30s, this time closer. Decorated with portraits of Lunacharsky, Lenin, faces of peasants and pioneers. And of course, "Workers of all countries, unite!"
28. In the house with 1 photo right on the doorstep we find such a wonderful chest
29. A little bit of May nature from the village plots =)
30. And again we find the pinball. Condition is not much better.
31. One kitchen. It is strange that everything is just so thrown. Despite the seeming order, the dishes are under a layer of dust, the ceiling behind has already collapsed.
32. Nice pre-revolutionary buffet in the piano room.
33. The quality of the frame did not come out very well, but I will post it anyway. Interesting content. Geometry notebook from 1929.
35. In this frame I would like to finish today's photo report.
Such abandoned houses make a very sad and painful impression. It seems that part of our culture is leaving. The metropolitan way of life is changing the old established way of life. Is this good or bad? How much progress is needed, and what are we striving for? But these are rather philosophical questions, and everyone will have their own answer. Enough reasoning for today. Until next reports!
The difference between a beginner and a successful search engine is that the latter can “read” the landscape.
There are several sure signs that there was once a small village on the site of the forest edge, which means that the search will be successful. Sharing secrets.
2. All roads lead to housing. Abandoned roads, once trampled by thousands of feet, do not disappear as quickly as settlements. And if you go along one of these roads, then almost certainly it will lead to the tract.
3. The first sign of a "bypassed" village is deciduous vegetation. It is known that at first it is she who grows on the tracts, and only then conifers appear. True, if the forest is originally deciduous, the omen does not work.
4. Large old trees. Although they do not bring tangible benefits, trees are often planted in villages just to have them. And an old birch or poplar should alert you right away. Travelers usually rested under such trees or sometimes planted a plant near the house. You need to check all the space near the roots of such a tree with a small coil, and if there are many signals, then the place is correct.
5. Look for footprints on the ground. Usually, for many years, in the place of the missing house along the contour of the foundation, a certain depression is preserved - a square, rectangular shape. Stones, bricks or the remains of the furnace masonry are often visible. Depressions in the snow are clearly visible, but searching through the snow is quite difficult. The pits that were on the site of the cellars also point to the place of the village. Note that the relief is noticeable in early spring and late autumn, when the grass does not interfere.
6. Feral cultivated plants. Certainly, there will be fruit trees - apple trees, cherries, maybe planting onions or flowers, which are not so easy to find in the wild. Pay attention to this.
7. If in doubt, dig up the soil. The forest soil is empty and fairly light, usually of a grayish hue. And the soil at the places of the tracts is rich in coals, shards, metal debris like nails (and if the village was abandoned in the 70-80s, then vodka corks, foil, tin cans).
8. The sign of an abandoned village is nettles. She loves to grow on humus. So if you saw thickets of nettles in the forest, there was almost certainly a village here. But nettles grow most often on the site of the former landfill; and it is clear that if you look in the nettles, you will find a lot of metal rubbish and debris.

Russian north ..
Looking out the window now and seeing -30 on the thermometer, one can imagine endless snow fields and blizzards with blizzards.
So in the summer it is completely different! ..

Last time I ended up walking along the Transkenozero trail, eaten by mosquitoes and drowning in mud.

And we got to the northern point of the Kenozero National Park, the village of Vidyagino.
On the outskirts of the old wooden church in the process of restoration.

How strange it looks - on the left is a dome with a cross, and on the right is just a small scanty cross at the top of the bell tower. Maybe temporarily?

The village of Vidyagino itself seems to have been abandoned for a long time, although the houses look pretty strong.
But we did not see people, and the windows in the houses were boarded up.

Most striking is the absence of roads and the fact that everything around is overgrown with grass and wild flowers.
And the silence .. - only the larks in the air.

Powerfully built, for centuries. The owner was probably not poor.

I wonder if the windows are boarded up, then they still hope to come back someday?
Although it may be that the workers of the national park did their best.

But we do not have a lot of time, a boat should arrive soon, about which we have agreed in advance with the leadership of the national park.
In addition to us, there was another small group of pedestrians on the shore.
While we waited, we swam with pleasure.

Finally, there is a boat. We load and sail quickly.
The bicycles barely fit on the bow of the small boat.

In half an hour we arrived in Tyryshkino.
We were dropped off here, at the pier there is a canopy - they decided to put up a tent right here.
For dinner - a beautiful view of the lake and fried mushrooms and potatoes. Video, 2 minutes:

Here is our restaurant on the shore, here Zhenya was frying and steaming all evening.

People live in Tyryshkino, and quite a few.
True, from a conversation with them, it became clear that they come here mainly for the summer.
Women dig in gardens, and men fish.

Zhenya and I refreshed ourselves with his delicacies and went for a walk around the village.
Such a good-quality village, haystacks in the yards and in the fields, so people keep cattle.
Excursions from Vershinino are brought here by boat - also help and income for the locals.

It is beautiful here, I would even put it in some way - splendidly, peacefully.
Again .. if not for the mosquitoes.

The next morning we were awakened by the noise of outboard motors - the fishermen went fishing.
We got into a conversation with one of them - Sergei, he called us with him - to keep a company, promised to throw us across to the village of Semyonovo, while he was fishing near it.
Photo 33. 
The village turned out to be residential, there were not even abandoned houses, although the only way to get here was by boat along the lake.
Two horses grazed peacefully in the water, hiding from annoying flies.
Serega left, and we went to see how people live in this village. I'll talk about this in the sequel.
Photo 34. 
Would you like to live in such a village all summer long?
I probably couldn't, it's boring. Every day in paradise is overkill.
Although this is a paradise for us visitors here, and the local economy - livestock, a vegetable garden, fishing, you will not get bored.

Hello everyone. Recently I went on a scouting hunt a couple of times. I mapped out the villages and headed there, taking a metal detector, hoping to find something.
The first object was a village, in the past large and rich, but not so long ago extinct. There are still poles of power lines and houses that have not collapsed. But I was interested in the stone skeletons. Since earlier people did not live here poor and they had money, which could well be lost.
The first ruins were in complete disarray. Large metal, rubber, plastic, rot. What was not lying around here. After taking a photo, I got out and got into the car.
The next house was interesting because the entrance was made from the middle window on the facade. Surely there was something here, maybe even a store! Going inside, I immediately noticed a hole dug in the middle, as well as a small hole near the wall and in the corner of the house. Someone was here and was also looking for coins.
I tried to lay my own test hole and expand the existing ones. But nothing but a couple of corks and a piece of foil came across to me.
I thought to drive even further and look at the second village street. There is also a stone house there. But also with a roof and floors. Even the windows have survived here and there. I went inside and a picture of complete devastation appeared to my eyes: there was not much of the ceiling left, on the floor there was a thick layer of backfill with debris sticking out of it. I got the idea to get into the underground. But common sense took its toll: if all this collapses on me, then no one will find me here.
On another day, I visited a completely different village in a completely different direction. She attracted me by the fact that she was overgrown with fishing line. This means that the grass should not be there and the metal detector coil can be easily guided.
Arriving at the place, I was disappointed. Firstly, this place turned out to be very heavily littered, and also, it was also dug. At the same time, I wanted to scout out the house pits here for the borehole, but they seemed to be moved by a tractor, since I did not find a single clear house hole, except for the stone remains of the house and two brick boxes of houses.

Looked into the first house. There was a lot of rubbish in it. Especially near the stove. Bricks, pieces of hoses, remnants of floor logs and boards, shoes. But the most interesting thing is a tree that grew near the entrance to the house and bifurcated.
The first trunk grew outside the house, and the second climbed inside. And the roots of the tree penetrated into the masonry and severely damaged it.
The second house turned out to be interesting too, but, unfortunately, it was impossible to get into it. The ceiling and floor collapsed, burying everything in the rooms, in the attic and underground. It will be possible to enter Sid only when everything is completely decayed.
Opposite the houses, I found the remains of wooden log cellars. Around them, too, a lot of debris was scattered and the ground simply rang through and through with plug signals.
Next to this village there was another one, where vegetable gardens were plowed up. The field turned out to be scrambled and I managed to make several finds. Including the money of 1740. And I haven't dug them for a long time!

Before the outpost, the abolished village of Raduzhnoe in the Nesterovsky District of the Kaliningrad Region was located at this place. The pre-war name is Rominten. By indirect evidence, we can conclude that the outpost was built in the early 80s of the twentieth century. On the territory there are checkpoints, boxes for equipment, a barracks, which houses the headquarters, a gym and a cafeteria, a house for officers for 6 families, a small memorial, as well as a helipad.

The Oktyabrsky settlement was built in the 1960s for geologists who worked in uranium deposits in the Krasnokamensk region. During the construction of the village, the engineers did not take into account the fact that over one of the large uranium deposits there is an intensive release of natural radioactive gas, radon, along tectonic faults, which caused an increased radiation background. In 2010, the resettlement of residents of the village began. Oktyabrsky, and in 2014 ...
A small military town located 5 km from the town of Borzya. Once upon a time, an aviation regiment of fighter-bombers (military unit No. 42943) was based here, but after the military left in the 90s, the town acquired an eerie shade. After the transfer of the military town to the balance of the city administration, the comfort that had surrounded it for several decades instantly disappeared from the village. Lack of heating, garbage collection and problems with sewerage became ...
A small abandoned farm with 5 plots with dilapidated houses. The plots were quite densely overgrown with small trees and shrubs. Residents left their homes earlier than 2013 and the maximum that is registered in this farm. Several half-collapsed cellars and one well without a foundation and superstructure were found, into which one could fall. Residents of neighboring villages dismantled houses for building materials and firewood, so only one of them had ...
The former settlement of Mungui, located 350 km south of Dikson, or 243 km north of Dudinka. In 1938, the new life reindeer herding state farm was established there. In 2016, the settlement already has the status of abandoned. There are several houses, abandoned equipment, a helipad. Houses are slowly being sawn for firewood. At the moment, there is an elderly couple engaged in fishing.
The village has been deserted for a long time. Once there were about 50 strong houses, now (June 3, 2017) there are less than a dozen left. Some of the owners come in the summer, some are not residential, lopsided, blown by the winds and blackened. The winds blow here almost constantly. Esotericists say that Kochkomozero is a good place for self-identification. There are some special energy flows. Many people say that the village stands at a place of power. So what...
