Abandoned Apocalypse

Kaluga region is famous not only for its plant Samsung? or even dying expanse.
There still is a regiment Strategic Missile Forces in the dense forests.
It was definitely ...
Famous missile silos of the Kaluga region.

We started at 5 am, sleepy and not thinking. Along the way, I have also planned to visit a few sites, but they were either closed or did not represent a high value so that the cost for this two kilometers to go in the snow knee-deep.

Returned to the main purpose of our trip - the study of the regiment Strategic Missile Forces in the dense forests of the Kaluga region. We are prepared to advance to the promised 5 kilometers of off-road, but in practice, Mazda was able to drive about a kilometer, and the elements, we kicked shoved another 2 km ahead. The road was getting worse, so we decided not to risk it and go on foot.

The territory is huge shelf, here are the starting positions of the three mines under the intercontinental ballistic missile R-9A with nuclear warheads and military town for staff. On alert atonement Regiment in December 1964.

1. On the approach to the starting position suddenly appeared crane.



2. Looks chermetchiki forgotten here in the fall.



3. Everywhere the snow knee-deep, and we cheerfully to walk to the starting position.



4. Some mines thorough destroyed.



5. The depth of about 30 meters, there were rocket R-9A on duty for about 15 years.



6. Then we went to the underground room. In total there are about 9 floors.



7. ice walk is much nicer than knee-deep in water.



8. But still, then the third floor under the ground, we did not.



9. The extent of underground passages are striking.



10. All that can be cut - cut.



11. Surrounding area. Here, a boiler room with a large brick chimney.



12. Inside, there's nothing left.



13. Carpool with closed gates.



14. The workshop is fully available, but get inside the garage failed. Sorry, there's a lot of interesting art.



15. Administrative body.



16. Barracks.



17. Head office.



18. The view from the roof.



19. Cracks.



20. Inside, nothing interesting - everything stolen before us.

Generally, in the midst of these ruins still do not appreciate the scale of the destruction that could apply, only one rocket R-9A. And all around Kozielska these regiments were several. Many have leveled some converted and then abandoned, and some still remain on alert.

Interestingly, and perhaps it was necessary to take a dosimeter?

Another half hour walk in the fresh air to the car and back to Moscow. The object, of course, deserves attention. Structural engineering is easier to study in the summer, and under the ground is much easier to move on the ice.

Village mother, Kaluga region. About 10 kilometers to the southeast. (N 53.6814, E 35.6449)
