Russian Atlantis - a photo on Flickriver

Russian Atlantis

The city of Kalyazin (Tver region) is called the "Russian Atlantis". This city was almost completely flooded in times of shock communist construction in the 30s. To create the Uglicheskaya HPP, a reservoir was needed. And they did it - put a dam and a small town went under the water along with all its houses, orchards, streets, a monastery and even a cemetery..And as a silent reproach - miraculously survived the bell tower, which grows directly out of the water. There used to be a monastery here - several churches and cathedrals. During the construction of the hydroelectric power station, the monastery was blown up. Only one belfry survived. It was not touched, as it was planned to use this high point for training paratroopers..Alexander Solzhenitsyn called these places unsinked by Russia: "Kalyazinskaya belltower is a symbol of that they will not let Russia drown completely"..Troitsky Makaryev monastery can be seen on the sate Wikipedia commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Makariev_Abbey.jpg?uselan...
