Aniva Lighthouse, Russia
The Aniva Island was once a part of a lengthy custody battle between Russia and Japan that lasted about a century. After World War II, the Soviets gained control over the island and later added radioactivity to its stately lighthouse. Post-Soviet Russia, the structure was completely abandoned.

The Balaklava Submarine Base was a Soviet submarine base that was constructed during the Cold War. It once housed the war’s most destructive weapons in its now-abandoned tunnels. The place was ditched in 1993 and can now be seen by visitors on tours of the mysterious derelict site.
