Dugouts in Sokol. Pechatkino-1
And now about successful trips in Sokol. I've known about all the dugout locations for a long time, but I found one quite by accident. She found herself in the middle of a garage cooperative on the outskirts of the city, in a place called Pechatkino.
Parallel to the well-maintained garages, vegetable cellars are located in several rows.
The dugouts here are all triangular, which made me very happy.
At first, I went from the wrong place and began to make my way through tall thickets of grass.
And when I came to a cluster of cellars, it turned out that the entrance was in another place, where there is a mowed path.
A lot of structures are locked down, but I'm not sure they're still in use.
For example, in the very first picture, the dugout is also closed, a lock is hanging, but it is unlikely to be able to get into it until the owner cuts down trees that are already tall enough.
The atmosphere in this place is mystical, of course, but for some reason I am never afraid in such places.
As has already happened in Sokol, there were three times as many dugouts here, but many simply disappeared, leaving behind only a deep pit.
Part of the cellars stands in a small forest, right in the middle of the trees.
The nights are already quite dark, so the filmed scene had to be illuminated with a smartphone flashlight.
I have identified an interesting way of highlighting – in order not to detect myself, I did not turn on the flashlight itself, but only increased the brightness of the screen.
It was enough for the stage to light up the way I needed it in 30 seconds.
And then the bright moon came out and some places didn't need to be illuminated at all.
