Did you know that the USSR set russian dating sites in english a chain of nuclear powered autonomous light houses? Did you know that they have since been looted?

Russian Northern coast is a vast territory lays for a few thousand of miles and all this coastline is inside the Polar Circle. Long polar winters mean no daylight at all, just one day changes another without any sign of the Sun rising above the horizon. There is only polar night for 100 day a year. But across this Northern coast there was always a short way for the cargo boats to travel from Eastern part of Russia to the Western. Now this trip can be made fairly easy with the appearance of all the satellite navigation equipment like GPS and others, but during the Soviet Era they had none of this. So, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union decided to build a chain of lighthouses to guide ships finding their way in the dark polar night across uninhabited shores of the Soviet Russian Empire. So it has been done and a series of such lighthouses has been erected.

They had to be fully autonomous, because they were situated hundreds and hundreds miles aways from any populated areas. Then, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the unattended automatic lighthouses did it job for some time, but after some time they collapsed too. Mostly as a result of the hunt for the metals like copper and other stuff which were performed by the looters. Those photos are from the trip to the one of such structures, the most close to the populated areas of the Russian far east. If they there fully-automatic, then why there is a toilet, and daily log at the pictures? OMG Russians are so poor they can’t even maintain thier own coastline and lighthouses.

Is that why there has been a recent surge in ship wreck, sunken submarine in russian waters? Yes, that is EXACTLY why the submarines sunk, because the lighthouses were out of order. Lighthouses are crucial for submarine navigation. Anonymity won’t save you from Karma dropping by to kick you in the ass.
