Don't know if this site has already been posted.

Very interesting site. Some will argue that it is "grave robbing" but I read the descriptions and I see it more as very historically significant, particularily the photo of the kids playing soccer at the memorial site where a large number (100,000 of civilans) were killed.

If this is OT, my apologies.

That is Kid of Speed, she (yeah and she's hot too!!!) has an awesome website. If you dig around through her links, there is a section where she heads to Chernobyl on her motorcycle. VERY neat...

Fascinating stuff. I'm sure the author's sympathy for Gen. Vlasov and the ROA must bring her some flack.

Great stuff, thanks for posting it!
Have you seen the site where they unearth a T34 from a Russian swamp? It is in good condition due to being in an aneorobic swamp (therefore little oxidation). Ammo racks were full, so they deduce the tank never even had a chance to go into combat before falling through the ice.

no, but now you got my curiosity going! Got a link?

Yeah I saw that after. Not very mil-surpy, but kind of creepy and made me think long about what happened there. I still remember the cover of Time Magazine that month, funny how after 20 years it is still so clear. I wish I had kept that magazine...

wow, creepy! I cant remember where I heard this, but apparently the radiation levels are now low enough to be livable. Looking at those pictures of the empty houses gives me the heebie jeebies. I wish there were more hot women who had such an interest in history!

What a find, eh? It really is in amazingly good condition considering where it's been for the last 56 years.

that tank looks brand new!!!! makes you wonder what other pieces of history are stuck in the mud somewhere

awesome pictures! I am sure that it would make a veteran eerie after all these years standing next to such an anachronism.
