The World's 16 Most Abandoned Places

#3 The empty Russian missile factory

Following some contemplation, LanaSator took a camera and stealthily entered an NPO Energomash factory located in a Moscow suburb. Despite the Russian government's displeasure and subsequent pursuit, there is no denying the quality of the photos she captured. The experience was akin to wandering through a scene from a science fiction movie. Surprisingly, no one was around. No guards or security measures were evident, and no one protested or attempted to stop her. Given that NPO Energomash is one of the world's largest rocket-launching companies, this makes the situation simply fascinating.
