Abandoned DrugsLab

 Absolutely outstanding place. We found an abandoned drug lab!

It was an ordinary walk, nothing foretold a visit to a new place. Seeing an old house, a group of urban explorers decided to enter it to wait out the rain. But suddenly...

The inside of the house turned out to be quite interesting.

Someone had set up a reagent warehouse in it. I love a reagent warehouse. You can walk between their racks for a long time, looking at the jar exhibits.

It looks like the warehouse belonged to a nearby pharmaceutical company. But the company is closed, so the warehouse was abandoned to its fate.

 

A large room was completely filled with racks of reagents.

 

There are also jars in the adjoining rooms.

Some labware. It is clear that this business was not abandoned immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

And, of course, reagents.

Stuff piled in boxes, hoping to use in the future.

But why? What is it for? Who collected so much stuff here and for what purpose?

Perhaps a pile of empty acetone cans can hint at the answer?

The puzzled urban explorers go up to the floor above.

A small workshop.

A living room.

A room with messed up junk.

Another semi-residential room with a Swedish gas mask on the wall.

And again, a room with reagents.

Here lies brand-new chemical equipment, and most of the reagents are imported.

Smoking is bad for you!

Among all this, such names as acetic anhydride, benzaldehyde, ethyl chloride, allyl bromide, lithium alumohydride, butanediol, and so on and so forth occasionally flit by.

Along with the good chemical glass (and in the photo below we see nothing less than part of a chemical reactor), we can assume that not the most legal stuff was being done here.

There are no other rooms left on the top floor, except for the one with a padlock on the door.

The assumptions were confirmed: we really were in an abandoned drug lab.

Whitewashed windows, a homemade hood, a small muffle furnace, scales, a refrigerator with a barrel of some liquid inside, solvents, sources, a barrel of magnesium. Bad, through the amalgam recovered, customers poisoning is not good.

And a makeshift lab bench, of course. On the left is that homemade hood.

From the cooking room, you can get into the recreation room. Here chemical enthusiasts could rest after a successful synthesis or in between stages.

Wide-angle TV, cozy couch, heater, bong, play station, and a 50-liter barrel of sulfuric acid.

Nice couch.

And there's a play station in the bag.

The illegal chemists were very conveniently located here. In an inconspicuous building, with a reagents' warehouse below and a lab above. What made them move out is not exactly clear. Although the possible reason is quite obvious, we did not want to look for confirmation.

That’s all.

Until we meet again!
