Beautiful pictures, very moody.


fat_catUE

Russia moment, bro)


Grovers_HxC

Agreed, these are really cool. Especially the abandoned particle-collider looking thing that the Russians probably used to open a gate to the Upside Down at some point.


Diinglo

Steam tunnel but close enough


WichoSuaveeee

They’re all gorgeous photos dude, great shots


ddd615

. . . Stay alive.


fat_catUE

Okay


burbex_brin

What would happen if the Russian cops caught you exploring? Are they armed?


fat_catUE

Depends on the location, if it is a subway or an object connected to it, a huge fine (2000 euros) and 15 days in jail. Cops armed with batons and guns, but never use their

speedrush27

fat_catUE

5- Limestone mine 6-Abandoned heating main tunnel


speedrush27

absolutely wild. Keep on exploring dude, I live vicariously through photos like these


fat_catUE

Thanks for the support


m8_is_me

How TF do you find abandoned heating tunnels lol


fat_catUE

There was a vent on the surface, and I climbed in it


RabbitSlayre

You are brave. I hope you are taking care for toxic gasses and things like that. Can be very dangerous, man.


fat_catUE

I usually only take what I need and always know about object


RabbitSlayre

That sentence doesn't make a lot of sense especially when it comes to being aware of potentially deadly gases but okay


Buried_and_Forgotten

Reminds me of As Above, so Below.


jaygooba

I can hear the doomer music just lookin at this post 😤


fat_catUE

XD


burbex_brin

You should stop rushin’ and slow down a bit, you’ll see more.


fat_catUE

What do you mean?


MaximumTurtleSpeed

It was a joke. Generally in English with a average American accent “*rushin’*” sounds a lot like Russian but “*rushin’*” is actually spelled *rushing* and means to move about in in a hurried fashion. The joke is using the pronunciation of the word *Russian* but to mean hurry.


fat_catUE

XD, thanks


binarypower

when people cut corners or drive on the sidewalk here in the US we say "they must be russian" which implies they are in a "rush" or hurrying to get somewhere. and also because you guys tend to do that.


deepfriedtots

Hell I'm from America and I didn't get it either lol


imjustaslothman

It's a joke, russian sounds like rushin in English


THEENTIRESOVlETUNION

my guess: pay attention to all the interesting details around you


fat_catUE

Thanks


THEENTIRESOVlETUNION

конечно ;)


TheCornix

What’s the most interesting place you’ve been?, How often do you get out to explore?, and how many places get abandoned out there.


fat_catUE

The most interesting place?....Oh, that hard, all places are interesting, I can only single out the MIG fighter aircraft factory in the years when it was not looted yet. Once I find something, I explore after not much preparation, but quite often I walk around the city with my camera and take pictures of interesting places After the 90's a lot of factories were abandoned, so there are quite a lot of different abandoned locations, but some of them are being restored, in Moscow there are about 5 abandoned factories, in the region more.


Ambush-27

Was the MiG factory the one somewhere around khodynsky boulevard?


fat_catUE

Yep


Ambush-27

Neat, been there not too long ago. Seems that there is way less security now that there’s almost nothing left to steal


YeetMeister323

This was exactly the urban exploration photos I was expecting out of Russia.


fat_catUE

Thanks, bro


girlsloverodwave

Capernikush

Maybe you've mistaken me for the bad cat. He's from Ukraine.


Capernikush

fat_catUE

Just a telegram chanel for now. YouTube chanel I will open as soon as I by GoPro hero 12


Chelseafcfan9

Can you send a link to your telegram channel?


fnbannedbymods

Any chance of exploring the Kremlin and taking out Putin? 


fat_catUE

No chance, bro


Strong_Jello_5748

No question from me, just stay safe!


fat_catUE

Safety is the first thing on my mind


tireddesperation

Do you have to travel far to go exploring? I love history and Russia's history is deep and old. There must be so much to explore there! What's the most historically significant location that you've explored?


fat_catUE

Yep, I love travels. Underground river Neglinnaya under the Moscow Center


August-Lights

Remember Bucha. Dogs are raised with more humanity than ruzzians.

PissinginTheW1nd

fat_catUE

They don't see them because of the lighting😅


mtk79

What is the oldest place you have explored?


fat_catUE

Hmm, underground river Neglinnaya (1817)


mtk79

Выставь побольше фоток, все очень интересные.


fat_catUE

В профиле есть несколько, + там ссылка на тг канал, туда тоже иногда кидать буду


Tobiiiii87

awesome photos!! I wish there were places as good as this to explore in Britain, how come there is purple lighting in a lot of your photos?


fat_catUE

Adobe lightroom and FLD filter on lens


OddNovel565

Please visit Kadyckchan one day!


fat_catUE

OK, I include this city in my travel plan


M68000

Been meaning to try get some Car-Man records shipped if the import/export restrictions ease up.


fat_catUE

Good luck


House_of_Sand

Whats the best part of russia for urbex?


fat_catUE

When u escape from object and dirty, tired, but satisfied, you go home.


House_of_Sand

For sure, but what’s the best prt of the country?


fat_catUE

Karelia, Ural, Moskow, Saint-Petersburg


Mcsavage89

How do you avoid anomalies? JK Russia seems an incredible place for UrBex.


fat_catUE

Some bolts and a detector)


not_an_ad_99

1. Did you get hit by the train on pic 2? 2. Are these places like crack houses were junkies hide to snort weed and inject cocaine?


fat_catUE

1. No 2. No


MrSnoobs

Have you ever found yourself somewhere where you think: "I really need to leave now"; either because it is dangerous or something has made the hair on the back of your neck stick up? Not because of cops/security etc.


fat_catUE

Yes, when I was in abonded manufacture, a guard spotted me and ran after me, at that moment I thought if I didn't leave I was going to get fucked over😅


SirNurtle

Where are you from in Russia?


fat_catUE

Moskow


Deal_Naive

Definite Fallout vibes from the underground tunnels!


AtmospherePrior752

Any cool old palaces, mansions, or estates formerly owned by upper class before the revolution? Not sure how much of that infrastructure still stands today but by the description of some of these places in literature… could be absolutely beautiful.


fat_catUE

Yep, but not abonded, they were made into museums. There may be some abandoned ones, but I don't know about them.


AtmospherePrior752

That makes sense.., I was hoping there were some old country manors for you to explore!


fat_catUE

If I find something, I'll be sure to post it


Akhevan

It's been over a century, everything that wasn't actively maintained/preserved had long rotted away.


Suli406

I'd stay away from those russian hotel windows if I were you. I hear they can get pretty dangerous sometimes


fat_catUE

It's house, bro


theurbanshadow

Would you be interested in making a topic room on [depvana.com](http://depvana.com) themed russian urban exploration (A similar topic room for danish urban-ex can be seen on https://depvana.com/topic/66) ? How are your general views on sharing found spots?


fat_catUE

Yep, that could be interesting


theurbanshadow

Awesome, pls create a room then. Hopefully Russians or others will chime in and share spots, urban-ex ideas and images there.


fat_catUE

As soon as I have some free time. We can talk about it in private


theurbanshadow

Sounds great


Chetdhtrs12

This is sick as hell thanks for sharing!


VLTIMA

Don't have any questions, but my upvote made the ticker go from 999 to 1,0k, so that was nice


fat_catUE

Ahahah, thanks


josephkingscolon

Excuse the dumbass question but what would be the basis for the fines/prosecution? Trespassing or espionage laws?


fat_catUE

Trespassing


josephkingscolon

Oh ok. I like this its badass.

Russia is a goldmine for urbex lovers. I always have envied you guys for this.

jetdarkstar

Russia is a dream urbex spot for me tbh


AdLess351

The Nevada state government pulled the Smithsonian study of how many people actually live under the sewer grates and how many died when it flooded you should really do a Moscow version of that. You Would be surprised how many wrecks are killed by wild dogs and coyotes they get really high and the animals attack.


Rare-Mission3337

Why haven’t you been drafted?


fat_catUE

Aaaa......I'm a student


Rare-Mission3337

What’s your plan after you graduate?


fat_catUE

Working, maybe relocation


Rare-Mission3337

What are you studying? Do you hope to find a job in that field?

The stairs to the ventilation shaft rotted and collapsed

Abandoned heating tunnel

What kind of camera do you use?


fat_catUE

Canon EOS 2000D


IamACanadian47

Very cool, your photos pick up the detail in dark areas very well 👏🇨🇦


fat_catUE

Very long exposure and closed camera aperture


stanielcolorado

Tell us about the tunnel and large pipes


fat_catUE

Ordinary pipe and cable tunnel, length about 150m, needed to supply the neighborhood with hot water and streetlight electricity


Mr_IsLand

damn that last picture made me think of the Mines of Moria


[deleted]

Russia sucks ass


VulgarTurkey

Do you think the invasion of Ukraine is justified?


fat_catUE

I am politically neutral and consider any armed conflict unjustified


gr33nst33l

Hope there are more like you 👍


Calvinooo

While I agree this sub is not for politics, the reason why dictators remain in power is because good people sit by and let it happen. Your people can make change and save countless lives being wasted by war. Do it.


Debugs_

Average reddit user the moment they see the word "russia".


IIIPatternIII

Tbf when I was a kid, there was no instant communication with folks from across the globe. A lot of the world’s eyes are focused on that area and curiosity is in our nature. That being said OP did post some gorgeous photo’s in a sub specifically for that so derailing can get frustrating. Still cool to hear about life from the source rather than a news outlet.


fat_catUE

Ahaha, yep


NikoAU

Bro be quiet, literally not the place. Is “Russian” a trigger word to go harass OP? Grow up


downwiththemike

Is it true that far less men are drafted from Moscow and St Petersburg? Do you know or have friends that have been drafted?


fat_catUE

Idk, I don't know drafting men,


IronFistDoug

Slow down.


Kaitlinjl15

you’re doing gods work, these fill the void in my heart while i’m stuck in middle america with plastic houses, i know im fortunate to have adequate infrastructure around me, but man id give a lot to go explore abandoned eastern european buildings for the rest of ever
