    Those papers are all from the late 80s, early 90s, a turbulent point in history, which gives you an idea about how long it’s been lying fallow.

    There was a derelict house where I lived as a kid. Of course we were forbidden to go there*, which only made it more interesting and we wanted to solve they mysteries, especially about the paper scraps. Now, our parents weren’t completely wrong in forbidding us to go there as there was an unsecured swimming pool filled by rainwater and whatever, which, basically, was also the very mundane solution of they mystery: The guy had spent a lot of money he didn’t have (only superrich people had swimming pools back then) and went bankrupt before the house was completely finished.

    1991 calendar and a Russian-language newspaper. When Soviet Union fell, people left.

    It’s a 100 m from the town, on the road between the town and cemetery, and town and old mill. There’s people still there. The house is completely abandoned, though (except for a few drinking parties) -- maybe it’s the local haunted horror house, who knows.

    I like abandoned houses too. I’m not brave enough to go in one, not because of ghosts or that sort of nonsense. I’m not lightweight so I’d be afraid of breaking into a basemen via the floor. Plus mould and racoons and what not.

    Basements as such aren’t particularly common here (or at least weren’t), so the first floor is usually fair game (caveats apply, of course). The panorama shot is a view from the stairs to the second floor -- the stairs were concrete, so safe, but the second floor? All wood, so I stayed on the steps.
    No raccoons, here. More likely to meet the local hermit brewing his own alcohol.
