Бывшая паромная переправа

The ruins of the ferry crossing on the Moscow canal

This weekend, while traveling along the Moscow canal, we found the ruins of the former ferry crossing. Without thinking twice, we arranged a picnic there with beer, shish kebab and songs with a guitar. In fact it is necessary to have a rest sometime?

Пионерский лагерь Cказка

Abandoned Soviet pioneer camp "Skazka" ("Fairytale")

or "In the nest of Soviet Ktulhu"

Recently, we visited the abandoned Soviet pioneer camp Skazka (it mean "Fairytale"), located in the Dmitrov district of the Moscow region. A model of unusual Soviet architecture - the idea of decorating buildings and interior decoration with sculptures and stucco on the theme of fairy-tale sea creatures is realized here. Built in Brezhnev's time and was closed in 1997 like most of the pioneer camps in former USSR.
