Wow… greeaaaattt stuff. I have been eyeing up UE places for my return to the eastern bloc and im going to have to throw this on here. Obviously logistically these are all pretty tough places to gain access to but the images stick with you for a lifetime. These communist era findings are so surreal in person. Every single place seems like Back Ops level. So far Vukovar Coratia (the most leveled city of the Yugoslav Wars though repaired a lot) and Pripyat Ukraine (Chernoby) top the list. My Russian friend supposedly know of a guy who runs “underground tours” where you can rent Rad suits and explore the city. Its crazy to just imagine a city frozen in time ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/Scy_6cOrnZI/AAAAAAAAEHk/-h5MrUZP-uE/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-prypyat-sign.jpg](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/Scy_6cOrnZI/AAAAAAAAEHk/-h5MrUZP-uE/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-prypyat-sign.jpg) ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/ScynEPrNBkI/AAAAAAAAEFw/wO5yO3zT--0/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-school6.jpg](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/ScynEPrNBkI/AAAAAAAAEFw/wO5yO3zT--0/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-school6.jpg) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/Sco60dyMXKI/AAAAAAAAECM/H7_1_vuNNKY/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-toys1.jpg](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/Sco60dyMXKI/AAAAAAAAECM/H7_1_vuNNKY/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-toys1.jpg) ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/Sco7tQmGUTI/AAAAAAAAECU/bdhbUB-n7g0/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-funfair.jpg](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/Sco7tQmGUTI/AAAAAAAAECU/bdhbUB-n7g0/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-funfair.jpg) ![http://lh3.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/ScqZNev781I/AAAAAAAAEEs/p9rceeCa3r0/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-funfair3.jpg](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/ScqZNev781I/AAAAAAAAEEs/p9rceeCa3r0/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-funfair3.jpg) ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/SczHKfZc0dI/AAAAAAAAEIY/ASIX_F6ASmY/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-buildings11.jpg](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/SczHKfZc0dI/AAAAAAAAEIY/ASIX_F6ASmY/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-buildings11.jpg) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/SczPjB1nfqI/AAAAAAAAEJ0/FO6DChCMTTE/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-posters.jpg](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_dlkAw43cLC0/SczPjB1nfqI/AAAAAAAAEJ0/FO6DChCMTTE/s800/Chernobyl-Today-A-Creepy-Story-told-in-Pictures-posters.jpg) And Vukovar ![http://croatia.org/crown/content_images/vukovar/vukovar07_vodotoranj4.jpg](http://croatia.org/crown/content_images/vukovar/vukovar07_vodotoranj4.jpg) ![http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4/1180384-Vukovar_today_Vukovar.jpg](http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4/1180384-Vukovar_today_Vukovar.jpg) ![http://www.kultura.hr/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/zbirke/fototeka-kulturne-ba%C5%A1tine/vukovar/vukovar12/13761-1-cro-HR/Vukovar.jpg](http://www.kultura.hr/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/zbirke/fototeka-kulturne-ba%C5%A1tine/vukovar/vukovar12/13761-1-cro-HR/Vukovar.jpg) ![http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4/1232765-Ulica_dr_Franje_Tudjmana_Vukovar.jpg](http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4/1232765-Ulica_dr_Franje_Tudjmana_Vukovar.jpg) and after the war ![http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TDFP2zHLSWE/TOUAumxUlXI/AAAAAAAADJc/_J5D9MTJ6fU/s1600/vukovar03.jpg](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TDFP2zHLSWE/TOUAumxUlXI/AAAAAAAADJc/_J5D9MTJ6fU/s1600/vukovar03.jpg) ![http://www.voiceseducation.org/sites/default/files/images/vukovar-062.jpg](http://www.voiceseducation.org/sites/default/files/images/vukovar-062.jpg) ![http://croatia.org/crown/content_images/vukovar/tokyo08/stambuk_o_vukovaru_tokyo_st_ignatius_16_11_08.jpg](http://croatia.org/crown/content_images/vukovar/tokyo08/stambuk_o_vukovaru_tokyo_st_ignatius_16_11_08.jpg) ---

it makes me sooo sad to see these kinds of things… years of engineering wasted. new frontiers we could have discovered! new places and further exploration! new sciences. new worlds. a better understanding of our own planet. yet all we’d rather do is spend that money on war and killing each other… because back than at least a war gave us the space race. now… its the useless death of people. and wasted talent sitting in offices at NASA with no financial backing. I hope korea… or someone decides to make it to mars first… than maybbbeee that jackass obama might considering giving some money to NASA… at least europe has a scientific goal… with the LHC… man i need outta this gaping asshole that is north america… ---
