Russia's Ghost Town in Siberia
One of the Real Russia Project fellows has discovered the existence of a hidden community in the depths of Siberia. His film was aired by English Al Jazeera. Please, take a look at this extraordinary video. The film is about people who have chosen to live in the kind of place most would be desperate to escape from. The town is called Yeniseysk 15 and used to be a secret Soviet military base, but was closed down by Mikhail Gorbachev when the Soviet Union began to collapse. Now, Yeniseysk 15 is being repopulated...
Absolutely TRAGIC!! How can there be such disparity in a nation? If THAT is the better alternative for its residents- then there is a terrible lack of basic humane conditions.
And how can this go on, while rich oil-soaked socialites pay $40k just to sit at a certain table in a posh Moscow nightclub.
It is immoral on a national scale.
