Forgotten Island of Death – Ghost town Aralsk 7

📌At the end of the 1920s, the command of the Workers and Peasants of the Red Army was concerned with choosing a location for a scientific center for development of biological weapons and testing polygon. For this purpose, it was necessary to select a relatively large 🌎island with a distance from the coast of at least 5-10 kilometers. The Island Vozrozhdenie was perfect for this purpose.
⠀
📌The most frightening thing was that in order to study the scale of the spread of bacteriological aerosol in the atmosphere, tests were carried out in the upper layers of the island's air sphere. During the tests, it was dangerous to be near the island, especially in its southern part, because it was there that aerial experimental 🧪tests were carried out. During the experiments, everything around was covered with a greenish fog.
⠀
📌Simultaneously with the post-war intensification of military scientific work on the Vozrozhdeniye Island, the Soviet leadership initiated an 🍀environmental catastrophe, which ultimately led to the colossal degradation of the 💧Aral Sea.
