Join me on a journey through a forgotten chapter of Russia's story. In "Lost in Time: 10 Russia's Abandoned Towns," we delve into the haunting beauty of Soviet ghost towns. From deserted mining outposts in Siberia to crumbling military bases, these eerily silent places hold the echoes of a bygone era. We'll uncover the stories of these towns, explore the fascinating remnants of Soviet life, and witness the power of nature slowly reclaiming what was once man-made. Let's explore eerie silence of abandoned outposts, from the deserted tungsten mines of Kolyvanstroi to the crumbling Cold War military base of Bechevinka. Prepare to be captivated by the beauty and mystery of Russia's abandoned past.

Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life.
