Galich

Galich is a small town near Kostroma. A forgotten province in which there is absolutely nothing to do.

The only reason to visit Galich is to climb the abandoned television tower, 350 meters tall.

There is nothing else to do in Galich. It’s a provincial town with a population of 17,000. Even the city center is deserted.

And yet the sign says the center of Galich is multifunctional.

I guess this means that both cars drive and pedestrians walk along the same road.

Lenin.

Revolution.

The only thing missing is a tumbleweed.

There are a couple of historical buildings.

Looks good at first glance, but step inside and it’s a Soviet canteen.

Fire watchtower.

Headquarters of United Russia.

House.

Road.

Clara Zetkin Street.

Entrance to the courtyard. In a moment, angry dogs will rush out from here, and the owner will wish they’d bite the author’s balls off.

But the author will enter another courtyard and still see that it is impossible to live in Galich.

A Russian zavalinka: a stone skirt around the house.

Beautiful old wooden houses in Galich are crumbling with age.

Fortunately, the residents are being resettled.

I wonder where? I didn’t see any new houses in Galich.

Alley.

Bus stop.

Bus.

Branded trash bins.

Suitcase.

Train station.

Moscow.
