This Soviet diver training tank sits inside a narrow, decaying three-storey building in Latvia.

A tight spiral stair wraps around a tall concrete tank with portholes for monitoring trainees. At the top, the open tank drops three storeys and still holds water, with a radiator fixed to prevent freezing.

Abandoned suits, masks and other equipment remain. Documents reference the SVU-3 diving system from the 1970s.

An abandoned former military base in East Germany

After 1945, Soviet forces converted the old German base into a closed military town. By the 1970s, around 75,000 soldiers and families lived here. It was abandoned in the mid-1990s.

Many relics of the Soviet occupation remain. A statue of Lenin stands near the entrance. There is also a large theatre, a decaying swimming pool and a ballroom. Murals decorate walls and corridors.
