Yes ... How many of them are left here, abandoned, on the territory of the former Union ...

[SRC P-15]

And people could live. But for Latvians, this is apparently a bit of a bastard - to live in former Soviet military camps. Or maybe there is already nobody?

Most likely not to anyone, but there are a lot of such towns.

[hirurg]

Decline because these countries since the days of the USSR are used to living at the expense of someone. This mentality has remained so far. After all, they do not know how to build.

[Rom14]

Balts like rats scatter all over the world, they feel what kind of Tryndets Nata is driving, there remains a schiz. It is not clear why the Russians do not declare their presence there., As in the Donbass ??? Nothing! Our politicians do not work in this direction, or is everything a secret !?

[Svyatoslavich]

The Russians there will take everything without war.

[krot]

At the training ground, NATO will be trained to conduct cleansing operations in typical Soviet Khrushchevs. The idea is clear. But can they reach ..?

And why do I hate the Baltic states without ever having been there ....

Well, it's you in vain. Everywhere there are people who are bad and good. Latvia is no exception.

[Holsten]

From limited information. The Baltics must be loved, this is the former Yarov Rus, the homeland of the Wends. By the way, the toponym "Rugen" in the Latvian language, due to the absence of the letter "u", sounds like "Rigen", which corresponds to the toponym "Riga".

[Svyatoslavich]

No need to repeat this absurdity.
Wends lived much to the west. They directly bordered the Utahs and Saxons.

[CT-55_11-9009]

Loving, grooming and cherishing the Baltic states is harmful, as historical experience has shown. In Sweden, hedgehogs did not survive, being dependent on Germany did not arise either. But when they were made a showcase for the West in the Soviet Union and almost ran after her with a handkerchief, they became insolent and decided that it would be so all the time. And when the USSR collapsed (not without help) and they had to survive on their own, they preferred to lie under the USA, and America did not indulge too much with (e) the Baltics. So do you need to love? And for what? For their attitude to the Russians? For the institution of non-citizenship? For escalating hysteria? Tolerate - yes. But to love everyone - no, pipes. Natives of the Baltic countries who love their homeland are worthy of respect, but do not impose this love on the rest. We got it already, chesslovo!

[Rom14]

Because of the ruling evil spirits all over the head, why should the Baltic hate ???

And this is at the genetic level. I'm not joking. Remember Alexander Nevsky. And these are links to genes.

And on the territory of the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, especially where are the NATO bases now? And the rest from the GBV? Surrendered to the enemy

And the rest from the GBV? Surrendered to the enemy

For all the abandoned military camps, starting from the western borders of the Warsaw Pact countries and ending with the former Soviet republics, special thanks to the Great Perestroika. And thanks to him for dozens, if not hundreds, of thousands of broken human destinies from people living in these territories. The wreckage of a great country - the USSR, whether it be an abandoned military town, a collapsed factory or an unnecessary house of culture - this is a clear demonstration of how to spoil the best idea.

[vkl.47]

how many total did the Soviet Union build for these ungrateful cattle. how many lives did they put during the Great Patriotic War ... so many of these Baltic countries were built that they owe us 1 OHULEARD

[arnulla]

Lots and lots...

For almost 30 years, the Skrunda radar has been monitoring outer space in order to warn of a missile attack, and has provided security for the western borders of the Soviet Union. The station started operating at full capacity in 1971. After the withdrawal of Russian troops from Latvia, the constant complaints of local residents about strong electromagnetic radiation from the station led to the fact that on April 30, 1994, Latvia and Russia signed an agreement to dismantle the radar. The unfinished building of the new locator in May 1995 was blown up. The dismantling of the station began on September 1, 1998, the day after the cessation of its operation. The territory of the station was transferred to the council of self-government of the Ransky volost of the Kuldigsky district. Russia for free renounced the right to own a town with ten residential buildings for 540 apartments, a hotel, a hospital, a kindergarten, two clubs, a bathhouse and other facilities.

Rather, they were overly optimistic. but...

Thanks to "Mr. Gorby," how many of these towns have we left, not only on the territory of the former Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe, and have given everything away for nothing?

Or maybe it’s worthwhile to demand payment for the construction and use of property of the USSR. It will be funny to look at the reaction of the Baltic states.

[Moore]

I look, someone there this Latvian Pripyat contains: mows the grass, the whole window still ... A ghost town.

[Dimy4]

A year ago, the object became the property of self-government, ”the resource writes.

Local authorities are trying to easily cut some money from overseas and European "friends".

[Holsten]

Let them put it in order, repair it: then it will come in handy to the rightful owners.

[Knizhnik]

Do you think that you can, like the Kyrgyz, then expose from there? No, the idea is good, but will it work?

[Million]

Pugacheva with his inner circle goes to Latvia to sing songs

[family tree]

Is there no overcoat of Sashnaya where? Let everyone, from the new arrivals, dress her and pull herself up ten times on the crossbar, otherwise they will not accept their town, there the oath is imposed by some kind of Tuvan shaman, such as diarrhea and enuresis of the everlasting, huh ...

[Comrade Glebov]

Nda, as I understand it, there are a huge number of such towns (military and not so) in the vastness of the former Soviet Union (and in the Russian Federation as well), and most are abandoned. What is there to want from Latvia? Why is this town necessary for a limiter of this scale? So they use it as they can. To be honest, I don't see anything strange. Another thing is that enemies will improve their skills, this is unpleasant. Limitrofov will need to return "home" as soon as possible. I'll make a reservation right away, the Balts have good friends and I can't say anything bad about these peoples. We must return ... USSR v.2.0 ...

[Shamsik]

Something like this ....

..nothing we didn’t build ourselves .. so it’s better to finish off what the "occupiers" were building .. what to say .. nothing .. or rather there is something but obscene ..

[MarKon]

Yes, of course, my heart is sweating when I look at these abandoned military camps. BUT!!! This forced us to create new systems that do not make us dependent on others, on the Baltic states, averaged Asia, and others.
In Soviet times, I had to visit Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, the Baltic states, and Moldova. I always knew how to behave with sellers, taxi drivers, bus and truck drivers, cops. 95% as throughout the country, 5% - features of local flavor. Now I do not know)

[Sly]

teeth grind already - we built the union, and now there NATA will sit ...

[Stauffenberg]

I was in Liepaja. Just near the port. There are old Soviet five-story buildings. Many Russians. We talked with the locals. The mood is dull. They say that here we are not needed and Russia is not needed ....
Our embassies are a sinecure for thieves, and not the center of Russian influence in foreign countries. Shameful failure of pensioner Zurabov in Ukraine. Slurred actions in the Baltic states. ..a lot of where.

[Comrade Glebov]

+. Believe me, these "Lavrovsky Falcons" (with all due respect to Lavrov himself) do not work better in Central Asia either. Apart from loud words about international friendship (the same words each time), nothing is done. And they behave ugly.

[atamankko]

Such economic Balts, "you will envy".

[Aleksandr1959]

Adazhi is not enough for them .... (Adazhi in Soviet times, a complex of "training" and a large land range, now used in NATO). From Riga is located 20 km.
Apparently, the labuses at the former Soviet military facilities decided to earn at least something.
