Stranded In Russia's Creepiest Village

Wow. Great content! Definitely true to the word, "adventure". I mean, come on, you're dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Unknown territory to you. You come across some kind of beautiful history memorial in the middle of nothing. Abandoned town. Little cafe. Tours very old apartments. Receives rides from the generosity of strangers. Ends up in a pretty decent reasonably priced hotel! Love it!

[@kirstydragan]

Mr Bald, I have to say what an adventure. You end up in a vilage that looked like something out of a western movie ... dead quiet and scary as f=÷k. Then on to some fantastic Russian monument and mural which always take my breath away, love old Russian stuff. And through the generosity of a few Russians you get driven to safety. What absolutely amazing generosity for a total stranger . .. love it. And then a cheap clean room to rest in. I love seeing the disposition of the locals ,the quizine and the beauty of the countryside. Well done

12:43 Second part in Russian: "For the Motherland shed blood forever sacred in memory." Dedicated to the soldiers of the 28th Army, who died in battles during the great Patriotic war. On the territory where the monument is located today, the advance of German troops towards Astrakhan was stopped. Inside the obelisk on both sides of the through passage are niches in which information plates with the names of military formations that participated in the battle of Hulhut are placed. On the right side of the obelisk are several mass graves, in which the fallen soldiers of the 28th army are buried, the remains of which are found in our time by search teams. At graves tablets with names of the victims are established.

Good lord, I drove from one end of Kansas to the other on my trip from Pennsylvania to Colorado in 2011. I was literally calling everyone I knew on my phone to try to keep from going insane. I thought I was going to run out of gas at one point because there were simply no exits for god knows how long. When I finally came to one, the "town" (and it was suggested as such from signs) was an abandoned diner and a gas station. Thank fuck the latter was still open. Lovely people working there though. Against seemingly all odds, I talked to a woman who was actually headed to a town in Pennsylvania where I have relatives.

The village of Khulhuta was founded in a semi-desert area, with a large number of dunes and a lack of water resources. Around the village there are 9 wells with drinking water. The water contains a large amount of sulfur and other trace elements. Often, with a long absence of operation and maintenance of the well, sulfur rises to the surface of the water, forming a "plug". Hence the name of the village "Khulhuta" Kalm. Khulkhta (joint case from Kalm. Khulkh - sulfur (in the ears)

There is actually a lot of such villages in Russia, I think like tens of thousands abandoned or nearly abandoned. The reason is people started to move to towns and cities after the collapse of the USSR, especially young ones.
