Unique Handmade Russian Ring

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:40:29 +0000

The decorative ornament that you put on your finger, also known as a ring, is probably something that is not so easy to make. It’s detailed work that you need to have patience with, as well as enough skills. This Russian home made ring looks even more difficult to make than other random ones that you see at the jewelry shop. It has all these crazy details which give it a unique look, like it’s from the Middle Age or something.

On the photos you can see how it’s made, step by step. You may notice how it consists out of several parts that are put together at the end. It has a green rhinestone or gem in the middle that’s protected by some sort of shield which gives it a magical appearance. Maybe it’s more “exotic” because it’s Russian. Either way it has to cost a lot like all other home made things. But how cool would it not be to own one, don’t you think? This can really remind of these unique Star Wars rings.

In one of the previous articles a Russian spooky abandoned military base was represented, showing all the pieces that were left there. As a continuing on that here are some pictures of an abandoned theater in Moscow. This was the place to be during the Soviet era; people would go there in the weekends and enjoy the shows. Now it’s completely abandoned, rusty and dark.

The rooms are falling apart, the windows are about to break, and it looks like you could make a horror movie inside the theater, because the mood and the walls would be perfect scenery. Nobody wants to be left alone in one of the rooms of the theater for sure. Yet people are hoping that the theater gets renovated one day so Russian classical plays can be shown on the scene again. If you would like to see more creepy places, you should take a look at The Island of Dolls in Mexico.

The World War II bunkers provide an in-sight depth into the amazing history that revolved around the most titanic conflict in the history, that shook the world then and with whose consequences the modern world is still living. The Russian World War II bunker is no more different. Deep in the mountains of Russia, there lies this unbelievably huge underground bunker.

One look at the bunker, it surely takes you into that era of turmoil which had witnessed only bloodshed. Getting into it is more like traveling on a time-machine. The hidden artillery behind these green covered walls display the strategic intelligence used by the army men then empowered by secret wall openings around the bunker. Though most of the area is in a dilapidated condition, the overall original structure is standing still firm with solid construction it was made with, retaining the originality of the place, even after years has passed by.

Abandoned Top Secret Soviet Underground Submarine Base

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:36:38 +0000

Balaklava, in Ukraine, can even today be remembered for having been one of the secret places in Russia that was extremely famous for its Nuclear Submarine Base. The place witnessed a huge underground submarine base and amazing docks, in USSR, and this was functional till 1996 when the last Russian submarine left Ukraine. But the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 compelled the Russian Army to leave the place.

The entire town was involved at the Base at that time. The people of Balaklava, worked so dedicatedly at the Base, that it was hard for any outsider to intrude into the place or visit the town without going through a tremendous chain of investigations and identification processes. As a matter of fact, even the family members or the relatives of the workers were scrutinized completely.

As mentioned earlier that the base was active till 1991, the operations were carried after until 1993 when the decommissioning process started, and the low yield torpedoes and the Russian warheads were removed from the place.

Post 1996, the whole Submarine Base, the Cannel System, and the small Museum that displays the old warheads, weapons, deep inside the hillside, are all open to visitors. The place have become more of a tourist spot, for the history lovers, situated 10km south east of Sevastopol on the Black Sea Coast.
