Historical Type Relics, Ruins & reminders.
G'day all ,
I'm a history student about to ride west Kazakhstan, Russia, and back through the north half of the old soviet bloc.
Hoping to draw on your travel experiences - can anyone recall any interesting sites WEST of the Urals such as abandoned missle silos, airfields, military bases, gulags etc? I'm heading out to Perm then winding back to St Pete, and want to visit as many left overs of bygone eras. The old Mongol capitol outside Astrakhan are high on my list.
I will ask similar question on Europe list aimed at the submarine bases of the Baltic etc.
Thanks heaps
Tom
