They sure knew how to tackle large-scale projects in the Soviet Union. They could divert rivers, build cities where there were none before, conquer the North, create new “seas,” and urgently lay railways in permafrost conditions. Today, we will talk about the most incredible and abandoned places in the Soviet Union. These forsaken projects, born in the Soviet era, seem to speak to us about the country’s former power and ambitions.
