"Radioactive" resort near Minsk.

In the Minsk region (near Ivianiec) is an interesting place - an abandoned sanatorium "Forest". According to the version that is announced on the internet, the sanatorium was closed in 1986 due to the Chernobyl accident. This has proved more complicated.

02. The territory looks like.



03. The building itself - a typical project for the seventies - angular shapes, minimalism, the almost complete lack of decor.



04. Tower (in which there was a water installation) decorates here is a weathervane. "Stork on the roof, peace on earth," as sung in the same old song.



05. lantern streetlights. In the seventies, these lights put literally everywhere.



06. Go around. We can see that the building is in fairly poor condition. On the walls - graffiti typical "post-nuclear" style.



07. Bright Moss recalled Pripyat. I caught myself on the fact that I try not to step on it (the habit of Pripyat, where the moss is radioactive).



08. Some lateral extension. Perhaps there was a dining room.



09. Building on the reverse side.



10. collapse.



11.



12. One of the external doors - emergency exit (the key at the nurse on duty).



13. Beside him - the entrance to the shelter. To get failed germodver not be opened without special tools.



14. Let's try to get inside the building. From the main entrance you can not go - he is under alarm equipped with a banner and a motion sensor. Let's try to look for the side portals.



15. Located here is a flight of stairs, sprinkled with a thick layer of broken bricks and covered with chopped branches prickly wild rose (improvised "barbed wire" from intruders). Ok, here we go.



16. Carefully climb the dilapidated stairs and get into the corridor of the second floor.



17. One of the rooms. What was here - it's hard to say. Wieden any table and the remains of some of the electrical box on the wall. The battery under the window cut and exported.



18. Ventilation grille. Remember those?



19. Broken tiles in the corner. Judging by the communications once there was a sink with hot and cold water.



20. Flight of stairs in the middle of the building. Types of remnants of the typical Soviet decor (some wavy tassels imitating curtains) and graffiti left by minors "Stalker" outside the building.



21. Parquet.



22. Room with documents.



23. There was a lot of interesting things. For example, the schedule for December 1989, in the post-Chernobyl period.



24. But estimates and accounting documents accounting for the year 1989.



25. And what a union statement in the same period.



We came across documents and for 1990 and for 1991-1992. It turns out that the sanatorium has worked for at least 5 years after the Chernobyl accident. I wonder why it does not shut down immediately, and whether it is related to its final closing of the accident. Here are possible options. The first version (soviet razdolbaystvo) - Radiation Safety Standards resort really need to be closed, but it is some time worked for economic reasons, simply because he had no replacement.

The second option (theft) - for the standards could not close anything, but eventually someone become profitable "close" resort to, for example, to write off certain waste to "radiation". They say that the company is closed and ends in the water.

And finally, the third option - a sanatorium became uneconomical. It is far enough away from the major cities, and the presence of a number (even if not on site) radioactive spot finally "damped reputation as" the place. Who would like to rest near here such signs:



26. However, the reasons for the closure of the investigation leave other expeditions. Personally, I am more interested consumer side of the company's life.

The typical living room in the resort looks like. To the left of the entrance - something like a wall cabinet, on the right - a bathroom with a small tub, sink and toilet. Almost all of the plumbing, except baths, have been removed.



27. mezzanine.



28. Door handle.



29. Remains chandeliers.
