Ruined Soviet nuclear missile base, Plokstine, Lithuania.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s and early 90s, many of the Soviet Union's nuclear missile bases were abandoned, though some older ones fell into disuse long before this. This image shows the ruins of Plokstine nuclear missile base, the Soviet Union's very first underground nuclear missile base, located inside Zemaitija National Park, Lithuania, built in 1962 and eventually abandoned in the 1970s.
