  • yeahthatsme, on 04/22/2008, -6/+46This has been posted before. The search feature is your friend.
  • famikon, on 04/22/2008, -8/+2I'm pro at cooking.
  • CaptanXax, on 04/22/2008, -6/+14That first shot looks like it's from STALKER.
  • AbhishekGoyal, on 04/22/2008, -5/+2Cool!
  • catachip, on 04/22/2008, -4/+2... good Christ. The way Digg posts go you'd wonder if anything was NOT abandoned in Russia?
  • MasterGrief, on 04/22/2008, -3/+2I thought Half Life 2. Actually got closer to the screen to prove to myself that it wasn't.
  • famikon, on 04/22/2008, -9/+4First pic looks like a screen from COD4
    • briansearles, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Dugg. Funny how the guy who said it was from STALKER got dugg down.
  • pogfreak, on 04/22/2008, -9/+8In Soviet Russia, wonders abandon you!
  • aqzman, on 04/22/2008, -3/+23The first fourty-three times these pictues were posted it was great, but this is just getting ridiculous!
  • jetboyterp, on 04/22/2008, -1/+12Am I missing something...Why wouldn't the entire city of Pripyat be listed? The city near Chernobyl?
    • finista, on 04/22/2008, -6/+4Umm... Because it's not in Russia?
      • jetboyterp, on 04/22/2008, -0/+14Ummm...it's "7 Abandoned Wonders of the former Soviet Union"...not "Russia". Far as I know, the Ukraine was a former Soviet state...
        • dazhboh, on 04/22/2008, -8/+1It's not "the Ukraine," it's just "Ukraine." If you're going to correct someone's facts, at least make sure yours are right as well.
  • lordzelo, on 04/22/2008, -1/+3I've seen this make it to the front page at least 3 times since I started using digg. :(

    The first pic looks like COD4 or maybe the upcoming Stalker prequel.
  • tang0008, on 04/22/2008, -2/+6buried for lack of Prypat
    • finista, on 04/22/2008, -8/+4That's in Ukraine, my friend.
      • vkorobkax, on 04/22/2008, -0/+11Ukraine was also part of the SOVIET UNION. You just failed at history, my friend.
  • nickcozy, on 04/22/2008, -3/+8Russian still sucks and the ugly men ,mail order brides.My neighbour just married some russian girl he is like 45 and she is 19,Even i'm 19 it irritates me when i see her in the garden.That bastard.
    • dezman2003, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Well steal her from him, how hard could it be?. See ya in the news.
  • omgJOHN, on 04/22/2008, -3/+4This is such a duplicate story that it makes me want to throw up.
  • test5477, on 04/22/2008, -1/+7buried for dup, been on the frontpage before.
  • Seventus, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1These are definitely cool but they're hardly wonders for what we consider Wonders.
  • Ighuc, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Even though this has been posted tens of dozens of times, it's still sweet to look at them on Google Earth.
  • Arock66, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4Abandoned Heavy Equipment has a picture of a....telephone?
  • d1a1s1, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3This was cooler when it was posted 85 days ago and had about 3000 diggs. Why doesnt anyone search first? Chrimany.
  • Sinai, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Before the Great Depression, many economists thought it was impossible for economies to shrink in the long run assuming constant population. Today, many of the less historically literate think the same.

    Goddamn they're stupid.
  • standxstrongx, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5Old posts are old.
  • Alix7, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3I'm expecting the G-Man to pop out.
  • unrealJEDI, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4ya this a dup story, but touring that submarine base would be cool
  • eth3l, on 04/22/2008, -3/+6In Soviet Russia wonders abandon you!
  • IAmSam14, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I dont wanna be "that" guy but this has not only been posted before but its not even a cool list. There are way more interesting sites in russia
  • Scheissen, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2Future America!
  • willskillz, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2how could they not include The Bloc from CoD4?
  • willskillz, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2That's what America will look like in 4 years!
    • dezman2003, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1I think there may be some problems with your math.
  • meburnette, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2stop posting this *****
  • Jalh, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1in soviet russia buildings abandon you
  • shaggyhair, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1this was up here a few months ago. buried down for being repeat.
  • solid12345, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Workers of the world unite!....somewhere else.
  • inobla, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Hummm. That nuclear missile shown in the silo wasn't part of the picture batch from the original source page. I'm no expert on missiles, but it looks suspiciously like an American Titan II silo to me.

  • DrBeaverhausen, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Buried for being posted to Digg at least two other times before.
  • craighoxton, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1"Our so-called leaders prostituted us to the West..."
  • lemonpies, on 04/23/2008, -0/+0First time I've bothered to look at this stuff - came across it randomly so even though it may have been posted several times before on digg - it's the first time I've bothered to look at it - so old news is new news when it's the first time you seen it!

    it's like finding out secrets from the past that aren't released to public until the future - just like not all eyes see the same set of stars in the sky when they look up - you just see a selection of them from your own set of eye balls! - note you have to be clever or on drugs to understand what i'm talking about BTW.
    • OgniAsuob, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Thanks for your uplifting insights lemonpies. And I am completely sober right now.
  • OgniAsuob, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1If anyone is seriously interested in how to submit duplicate pages again to digg, please get in contact. Will charge $1000.00 per submission. Discount on multiple submissions possible.
  • noneuclidean, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Next week it's my turn to submit this.
  • Fufkin, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Well I've never seen this before so I'm glad it was posted again.
