1) From Zaporozhye to Stepnogorsk about 30 minutes away by car. Turning off the main road in the direction of the flow of cars Stepnogorsk sharply decreased to zero. The city of cars, and almost no people. Stepnogorsk Center is a couple of stalls and shops. City leaves a feeling of depression, I do not know how people can live there, what to do and most importantly, in the atmosphere of the ruins and "abandoned" the mood of living there probably rarely gives way to joyful ... Stepnogorsk - something like Ukrainian "Zombieland."
2) The characteristic form for Stepnogorsk - abandoned houses, empty streets, colorless life. Deputies to our stay there - maybe would have understood how people live ...
3) Post-apocalyptic continues ...
4) To see what a Stepnogorsk we had the 10 minutes. And we went to an abandoned mine Stepnogorsk, about 7 km from the town to it.
5) The mine is built, I realized in 1989. Brooches, probably after the collapse of the Soviet Union. I think the vector of the development was that the mine was closed, people have broken the plans began to empty city ... A striking example of the fate of the cities, which were built near the fields or factories, where all people work in the same enterprise. Closes Plant - dying city.
6) The security guard let us go through the territory of the mine. I have tried everything to remove and transfer the photos to the atmosphere of those places.

14) Go up to the second floor.

16) View - is not it?
17) All. It's time to leave this city and its surroundings.
18) The next destination was the castle Popov, who is in Vasilevka. Popov Castle - an outstanding historical and architectural monument of the second half of the XIX century. One of the largest palace and park complex in the south of the Russian Empire. The only manor castle complex in the Zaporozhye region, has come down to our time. One of the authors of the complex, probably the famous Russian architect NL Benois. On the basis of the estate complex is a museum-reserve "Popov Manor." Taken from Wikipedia.
19) In words sounds very nice, see what it really is.
20) And in fact - it abandoned a place that nobody wants. And if it sounds nice in words, in reality, everything looks exactly the opposite.
21) And you can also make a really tourist place, the potential is there. But in the way in which now houses the castle Popova call it a tourist destination can not be!
22)
23) Well, seeing the castle. Go ahead on the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir.
24) Action failed. During one trip we have visited in three places. Impressions of the sea. Now I think about where to go again
