Viktoryia Kolhyna, Mihael Pavlov, Yulian Milusha;
00:06 Carefully, ice!
00:11 No trespassing!
00:12 This bunker has scores of individual boxes and anti-gas packages dated 1981
00:18 Somebody has filched signal checkers and liquid for cleaning weapons
00:38 I was offered to go to Gomel city, there is a huge 11-floors bunker there, by the way the same is situated in Minsk in the centre, but how to climb up there?
00:52 - Can you get the picture? It is hazardous! We have climbed once do not want anymore....
00:58 - Knock it off! Why not? What is there?
- Management of the Foreign Intelligence Agency. We had a narrow escape with a quick running.
01:20 - Builders are outside. 2 builders.
01:27 -Leaving!
01:44 Many people like to be safe and comfortable in their houses they will hardly try to climb. I adore danger and risk...I love abandoned and «no trespassing» places.
02:00 Sometimes it so breathtaking to come to a place where nobody had been before, climb higher and sit observing the world....
02:11 It started with my father, when he was alive. He loved to make photos.
02:16 It normally happened deep into the night. We climbed on the roofs together, first, we woke our neighbors, ranging their doorbells in the midnight. They asked who it was we answered we were elevator operators we wanted them to open the doors so we could get to the roof. Climbed to the roof, we were sitting for hours with our camera, waiting for dawn to catch the only frame ... it was so cool ... I could catch cold but I knew I had to stand till early morning. Father trained my endurance that way.
02:53 Probably, I inherited my love to unconventional and abandoned places from him.
03:06 Every experienced stalker tries to leave the place safely without huge burdens. It is important not to do robbing, but to leave the object in the same state as it had been. That's the point.
03:23 Russian essays
03:28 Wow, this is special for me! Just look!
03:29 As a stalker you come to a place, take a souvenir or something reasonable for your own memory, try not to break down or destroy anything and leave it for posterity. That's our principle rule.
03:40 In Belarus and Russia we basically have free entries to industrial and war abandoned objects. Sometimes it is impossible to find the way to the guard to get a permission to a visit, but such objects are the most interesting to visit. They provide extreme and fun.
04:01 If you do not you remember the way, you may not even get out. That's the point.
04:12 I know one abandoned object, some people go there and not returned. They are considered as missing people. You need a guide to go there and if you get behind from a group you may not be found. So think twice before going there.
04:27 It is considered to be one of the most hazardous sites at the moment, an abandoned big hospital named Umbrella. Police seems to hide the real things of this object behind a smoke screen of indifference. By the way Russian Satanists performed their sacrifices on this territory and several murders and suicides happened there. Stalkers from ex-USSA normally visit it in large groups, and the group normally is armed.
04:40 We will never forget.
04:44 we will remember you forever!
04:55 The most dangerous is that the object has 3-4 floors underground, 2 of which are flooded. A lost person may never be found.
05:13 It happened in summer. In Belarus there is a command post of the Warsaw Pact with several underground levels. All of us went down 10 meters and suddenly our only rope broke. We followed our nose.
05:33 I hurt my leg, but it was ok, we walked a little bit and started to think how to get away without any rope. We were taken aback. 05:43 Finally we found two baulks and decided to take turns climbing. We took a crack and it worked out.
05:53 Every deserted building used to be alive and operated. In Belarus and Russia many old plants and civil objects are simply left, they are not preserving and everyone can visit it. They are located in the centre of the capitals.
06:04 They can be refurbished as well, but it is too expensive. The Belarus government make a condition, if you want to buy an abandoned glass plant, for example, you will not be able to transform it into milk plant or something else. You should restore its glass manufacture. This, so to speak, does not take a chance for old buildings to reborn. But it gives more opportunities to stalkers for climbing.
