How to destroy the Baku to turn it into a Caucasian oak: Facts in the pics

Baku, which will never be ... Writes blogger Sergey Anashkevich: Baku is actively destroying. Methodically and purposefully. No special ceremonies and to move people to other places. This creates a Caucasian oak, whose name Baku.

In a couple of years and the whole entourage of Baku, which we know from numerous Soviet films and books will disappear forever from the face of the earth.

Glass and concrete attack eats district by district and now came the turn of one of the most famous and areas of the city - the Soviet, which probably was once the most colorful in Baku.

1. This is the famous Tower of Baku Flame Towers - the highest building in Azerbaijan today, which was built in a record three years. In fact, with the construction of these towers started a massive attack on the old districts of Baku, consisting mainly of 2- and 3-storey low-value homes. Almost close to it adjoins the most famous and once the most crime area of ​​the city - the Soviet.





2. It is located on both sides of the streets of the former Soviet (now Narimanov Avenue) and carefully fenced ... from the town of discreet high fence, which is designed to hide all the trash that today it represents the area. It is accessible through here are loopholes and exit. There we directed ...





3. Behind the fence a city within the city. Once upon a time, when this was the crime capital of the Azerbaijani capital, is dominated by its own rules, laws, operated their own power ... Today, all this is long gone, leaving only the walls and windows, which recall that period.





4. The district is a pretty sad sight - a real slum. Not surprisingly, the government actively took up their demolition.





5. But the process of demolition of areas ... I do not really understand it. Some houses were completely destroyed, some partially broken excavator bucket somewhere even half of the apartment is broken, and the other half remained. And some do still live people!





6. The houses here were built before is very simple - to attach the side, if there was a place is built on top, almost stuck in the form of terraces. As a result, the general were the walls and ceilings, and roofs. Now, when these begin to demolish the house, very good view of the whole process in reverse, like the annual rings of a tree.





7. Here, after the excavator buckets survived not only carved in the wall shelves and kitchen niche, but even the glass jars in which someone has something stored in your kitchen.





8. to destroy the house, cut off and come to his wire and cable. Well, because the house did not destroy everything, but selectively, to strip all the wires is also impossible, because in the next, even as much as the houses are still living people who need electricity.

15. It's amazing to see among the destroyed houses here are inhabited islands, where people still live. They do not agree on the compensation offered by the state, they do not want to move from the places where he lived all his life, they cling to the last days and months of his life here with his last strength.

But, as they say, yourself, sooner or later they will have to leave their homes.
