Since the collapse of the USSR, on the territory of the former huge country, many objects that were in great demand at one time have remained abandoned. These are some enterprises that have become unprofitable, and farms for which there were no more cows, and hostels, and entire settlements.

Entrance to the abandoned camp

Children's institutions such as schools, kindergartens and camps stand apart among them. One can recall at least the world-famous "Artek", as if reminding with its pitiful appearance that the times when "everything was best for children" are long gone. The Moscow region has its own abandoned children's camp, with such an original appearance that you won't find another one for sure.

"Fairy Tale" - the name that is the best suited for this work of art in alliance with someone's very violent fantasy.

Have you been to this camp?

YESNO

And, perhaps, longing for childhood. The most surprising, but, the camp was intended for children with ... hearing impairment. It is surprising that such a miracle of art was created for such children, which both delights and can frighten the fragile children's body. Moreover, having been here on vacation, it is not surprising if impressionable children (especially girls) began to sleep poorly at night. If such monsters dreamed!

One of the buildings in the camp

Although, however, there are a lot of those who, on the contrary, admire the beauty of the local architecture and complain that with the collapse of the Union, the camp ceased to function and in almost three decades turned into an abandoned place. The desire of someone very talented to create a fairy tale for children in reality has remained unclaimed and is gradually being destroyed due to lack of proper care.

Expert opinion

To be more precise, the main theme of local creations is not just a fairy tale, but, let's say, a sea fairy tale. A huge octopus, which is located at the very fire exit of one of the buildings of the camp, extends its tentacles above the two-story building. On the wall of another is a flounder, "stuck" to the wall.

But, the most interesting thing is played out on the walls of the building, which served as a dining room for the resting pioneers. There is a storm on the sea, in it there is a swordfish, and next to it is a panther in the mountains and an eagle soaring over all this. Why all this was done in such a special style, no one will probably answer today, one of the versions is that such a type helped in the development of deaf and dumb children.

We invite you to camp!

So, if you are going to take a walk to the former camp, then you should be prepared for the fact that the surroundings will amaze you not only with bizarre forms, but also with very strong neglect. Also, in the abandoned territory, you can expect a meeting with not quite law-abiding citizens who have chosen the territory for their residence. If the correction for all this is made, you can hit the road.

The camp building decorated with a monster

Gates with a built-in attendant's booth welcome guests sunbeams and a huge children's notebook. All these are works of architectural skill. What else to expect? A fish of an unknown species and a separate stele with a star that looks both like a sea star and a pioneer star. In the next building - fish that swim among the corals.

Head of department, in Moscow GUM for more than 10 years. Seller in " Child's world at the Lubyanka.

If you go inside, then in one of the buildings you will find a bizarre sea shell, located right in the flight of stairs. Algae that enveloped the stair railing.

The walls are very similar to a huge aquarium, only the fish are more like marine life in size. And what about the shell with a pearl, located in the middle of the main hall.

Here you can also see broken cribs with incomprehensible drawings, and old children's shoes, and broken dolls and other toys. From all this it breathes unpleasant neglect and despondency.

camp buildings

Even now, walking around the abandoned territory of the camp, you remember with deep respect the creators of such a miracle. Indeed, in order to “pour” such a motley confusion into Soviet monotony, considerable courage was needed, and not just talent.

Here, as if frozen in time, creatively executed Lenin next to the pioneer slogan and a teenager floating on the crest of a wave. Sometimes it may seem that in this "Fairy Tale" time has stopped or he lives his own life, out of time.

On the one hand, I want to ask what kind of grass its creators smoked, but on the other hand, you are amazed at their imagination and desire to create an unusual, vibrant world for children. It is a pity that now all this beauty is abandoned and destroyed.
Watch at deni_spiri in Get into the Fairy Tale

"Fairy Tale" - that was the name of the most extraordinary and unusual pioneer camp of all that I have met. Similar to him or even closely similar in his incarnation, I have not seen anywhere else. I can’t even imagine how to explain such an architectural solution, in the form of a marine theme, in the design of the entire camp. There was an opinion that it somehow helped in the development of deaf and dumb children who spent their pioneer childhood in it. We must pay tribute to the creators of this creation, that in Soviet time were able to move away from the standards and so unusually beautiful / scary, but it is definitely rich in imagination, to bring to life that even after 30 years it looks unrealistically cool. Therefore, the name of the camp, I think, is chosen at the right time, it seems to be frozen in time like a fairy tale ... out of time.

A huge notebook and a sun with rays like fins, peeking out from behind the booth on duty (see photo above). The main gate of the pioneer camp immediately puzzles with its appearance. What will be inside? Let's look together. The first building is decorated with an unknown miracle fish and a stele with a pioneer starfish.

We move on to the next building. Something terrible is going on...

A huge octopus monster has entangled the entire wall of the dormitory with its tentacles! O_O!!!

Even lower was a building with fish among the corals. Compared to others, it is designed the simplest.

I turn around and walk back to the main building, hidden in the jungle.

Ahead was a ruler, where the image of V.I. Lenin.

Lenin is not just depicted, he was embodied in the form of a high relief with the pioneer slogan "Always be ready." Gorgeous!

Further more. We go to the dining room. There is something to stop and consider in detail: the raging sea, mountains, panther and swordfish, and a huge eagle on the side.

Someone (boy or girl), throwing their hands up, floats on the crest of a wave. True, already without legs.

This huge bird carried away the "bad" pioneers in an unknown direction.

And now it's time to look into the inside of the case. Something incomprehensible just before the entrance.

And inside in general ... The designer's imagination was played out in earnest. Shell with a pearl in the main hall.

The walls are like an aquarium. True, with mega-fish.

Bulbul...

Boo-boo-boo...

And this something with something was in the corner of the hall.

We rise to the second floor. The design of the stairs scared even me. How could the children not be afraid to climb such stairs?

Pay attention to the "algae" enveloping the railing.

The passage is closed - there is a "restoration".

On the second floor in the hall instead of fish corals.

Medusa attacks!

No less intimidating corridors.

It feels like a little pioneer can be sucked in there!

We look into the chamber and see an inverted monster that looks like a huge insect.

And trees live in some chambers.

Everything else is standard. Restrooms without registration.

In the ward it was possible to take a rest from corridor and staircase horrors.

There was a pool in the camp. Only some kind of mini-pool.

Somewhere in the area.

And all the familiar soda machines.

There is a nursery near the camp. Just like city people.

The kindergarten, unlike the pioneer camp, is abandoned. Chamber with a bright pattern. And here there is a water theme.

Nobody cooks in the kitchen anymore.

And in conclusion, my favorite shot with a view of the camp.

(Russia, Moscow region, Dmitrovsky district, near the village of Gorki)

There was an irresistible desire to see the eerie surroundings of the former Skazka TV station and take atmospheric photos. Despite the weather, on one of the gray March days, dank and damp, we set off on an unusual journey. We passed the giant tubes of the bobsleigh track, the turn to Dedenevo, and moved straight along the highway to Gorki. The road passed past the cottages perched on the edge of the field, and dived into the forest. In the snow, in the parking lot in front of the main entrance to the police station, there were traces of rough protectors, probably a jeep ... The entrance and the gate turned out to be locked, but right behind the gatehouse with an open book, the sun and a lopsided hypertrophied cloud, a decent hole gaped in the fence mesh ...

Rumors and reality

There are a lot of rumors about Skazka on the net, the most common one is that this place of rest was intended for deaf and dumb children. The KP journalist conducted her own investigation, as a result of which the true owner of the health resort was found out - JSC "Children's Book" and its inhabitants - the most ordinary children of employees of a printing company. In the 90s. the factory went bankrupt, was it before the camp, when the state order dried up, and the workers had nothing to pay their salaries with? And so the camp was left without an owner, until enterprising citizens illegally seized it, realizing that no one needed the collapsing property ...

Magic attraction

On the wet, melted snow, treacherously left prints of our shoes, carefully observing silence, we got to the first (tightly boarded up), and then the second, with broken glass entrance, building.
An oppressive silence reigned around, broken only by a monotonous drop from the roof, a distant crow's voice and the creaking of snow underfoot ... A vile frost with small fragments of ice fell into my face, but I didn’t want to leave ... The tension began to increase even more when we noticed two tall men ... This suggested that the camp was inhabited.
Everything shows that the pioneer life was interrupted here several decades ago, the buildings took the form of shabby, partially demolished abandoned buildings, the territory was overgrown with past and undergrowth, the stamp of desolation is visible on everything. Let's face it, the artistically "outstanding" decoration of the camp buildings, which once brought positive impressions to the children, today brings an unpleasant thrill even to adults.

There is life here!

Having examined most of the territory, we returned to the car and, out of curiosity, drove to the end of the road. It was predictable that she would hit the service gates, which turned out to be wide open. It was in this part of the camp that life flickered: here and there a light burned in the windows, a shepherd dog barked on a leash, a poultry clucked uneasily and flapped its wings in cages ...
Much later, comments appeared on the net where adventurers described how they fell into the clutches of a new owner - a man with a clearly unstable psyche. To intimidate uninvited guests, a police squad is called in, pressure and threats are used, including with a demonstration of trauma and edged weapons ... " private property“He zealously protects from all kinds of encroachments, conscious impunity, often goes beyond what is permitted.

Children's health camp "Fabulous" has long won its popularity among children and lived up to the expectations of parents. And there are reasons for this. The camp is surrounded by centuries-old pines, one of the most beautiful rivers in Russia - the Ob flows nearby, and the area for carefree fun is as much as 11 hectares!

Children are accommodated in two 3-storey buildings, in rooms for 4 people (each has a closet, bedside table, bed, soft chairs). Each building has lounges with a TV and upholstered furniture. Facilities are located on the floor (toilets, showers, foot washers, washbasins). For the youngest guests there is a children's playroom.

Infrastructure:

beach, playground, gym, football field, basketball field, volleyball field, as well as the beach 600 meters from the camp, rope town,
