Such a beautiful building. It's such a shame that some people spend their lives building places like this just for them to be left unused... sad in a way.

DME-

The town that was abandoned was Pripyat.

And if I recall, a russian girl pulled some strings and was able to get in about 10 years ago and took photos. She said it was kind-of-safe, as long as she stayed on the cement.

I read entries about it some time ago. If I find it again, I'll link to it.

These places were created before the advent of many of our modern medicines. Once we started finding drugs that could fix the chemical imbalances- not to mention huge steps forward in psychiatrics, massive facilities like this were no longer needed.

It's very possible that the people that were here may be productive people in our communities. Of course- some can never be worked back into society, and were probably moved elsewhere, to other facilities.

idunno, look at the contrast, that seat's meant to be a bit bigger than a human bum, that hatch is around the same size, give it a bit of leeway due to perspective...

I could probably fit.

Has anyone noticed that on the blue door (which is the outside view of the door) there's two holes, ie. for a lock and a door handle. Where as on the white door (the side from inside the room) there's only one hole? Guessing this was some kind of cell which could be only opened from the outside, ie. inmates were locked in. Creepy!
