…. WITH A DARK PAST "There is an eerie, absolute silence. I am in a dead city in the middle of a dead sea. It feels like I'm standing in a postapocalyptic movie set: no people, no animals. Zombies? Probably. Sand everywhere. But this is real, and I'm one of the first people allowed to set foot in Aralsk-7. You won't find this chilling ghost town on a map — this secret city was well guarded by the Soviet Union. But now you can visit Aralsk-7 on the mysterious island of Vozrozhdeniya — if you can stomach the journey and what you'll see when you get there. Because not only is the island situated in the environmental catastrophe that is the dried-up Aral Sea on the border of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, but it was also a former Soviet testing site for biological weapons. Visiting here is a shocking glimpse into Cold War history and a stark look at the damage industry can inflict on the planet…."

Doesn't sound like much of a draw. Perhaps the marketing people can put a better spin on the vacation brochure. |

"you'll hear a different story: that biological danger remains a reality, that there are still anthrax warning signs." ooh yes let's go and test out that theory :) |

Why in the world go visit an out-of-the-way place that was known to test biological weapons and then abandoned, stepped away from for some reason. Nope, not me. |

Let's see, biological weapons for some some reason the military fled practically overnight. Yep, sounds like a place I really want to see. lol |

There was a disco and a cinema and they were fighting the "capitalist sharks". |

I spend most of my weekends off exploring abandoned places, but biological weapons testing facilities are a line I don't plan to cross! |
