3



The sanatorium had a pretty self-sufficient food supply within the complex. They raised cattle and poultry and grew vegetables in greenhouses. This is most likely inside the pig death row ...
I didn't notice the number '3' when I took the photo, so I don't know if it was painted there, or if the paint has peeled in a funny way. In the original photo it looks more like it's peeled like that, but the glare makes it hard to tell for sure. Oh well.

Interior of one of the sheds



A sofa, an armchair and a Soviet soldier's boot.

I'm not sure from what era it is. There's a sink that someone has carried inside it for whatever reason, but it doesn't show from this angle.

Some electrical stuff on the wall of the pig house

"Alma-Ata '91 autumn"

Colourful



Since there were so many people around this section, I felt the urge to excuse myself by playing innocent tourist and making lots of photos of the buildings from the outside. (I'm sure some locals think it's a bit annoying how people come there, and I most certainly didn't want them to suspect I was a vandal or something ... ;_;)
At one point a gray-haired man caught up with me and started lamenting how they had let these amazing buildings decay, "after all the tax money we from the West have paid them" ... "These buildings are works of art! It hurts my heart", he said. "I'm a customs officer, you see!", he added.

Watch where you step!



These guys were basking everywhere on the ground ...

Still in the autopsy room - some other jokers wish people would clean up after themselves but ran out of paint, while a third set of jokers might have been inspired by crazy German washing products. (Glossary: sauber = clean, Bär = bear, Sau = sow, female pig)

An autopsy table. Some jokers have left rags with red paint next to it.
