I took the retro train to go to Gagra (Abkhazia) yesterday. It's 60 km to the south from where I'm staying, but it takes 3 hours because of border control. The train is really nice, the dining car is made to look like 1980s and there's an open carriage! Apparently, there are only three carriages like that in Russia (others are in Karelia and somewhere in Siberia).

The view from the window is amazing the whole time because the route goes along the coastline.

My fellow Americans seem to forget that the United States illegally overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii, threw the Queen in jail, annexed the land, and gave the Native Hawaiians the same treatment that was done with the Native American tribes. Today, they are complaining about Vladimir Putin, and thought every region in the ex-Soviet countries was going to be okay being disconnected from the Russian mainland. He doesn't suppress the Ukrainian or Georgian language. His country isn't the one with the most military bases around the world. He prefers a multi-polar world unlike the uniparty that exists in the United States of America.

Руины санатория «Гульрипш» Николая Николаевича Смецкого. Абхазия.











Красный корпус









Белый корпус Руины двух корпусов туберкулезного санатория «Гульрипш» дореволюционной постройки находятся недалеко от автодороги в 10 км к юго-востоку от Сухума.
В 1913 г. Смецким был построен четырёхэтажный Красный корпус из 112 комнат на 250 мест. На то время это здание было самым большим в Абхазии. Рядом был устроен огромный сад, где росли кокосы, агавы, акации. Про это здание существует забавная легенда. Якобы жена Смецкого сама была больна туберкулезом, и от одного врача он услышал совет: сделайте так, чтобы каждую ночь она спала на новом месте, где воздух чист от бацилл. Для этого и был построен дом-дворец из 365 комнат, который помог женщине выздороветь.В 1914 году Смецкий передал Красный корпус Красному Кресту для лечения инвалидов войны. Белый корпус в 1916 году был передан Министерству просвещения для лечения учителей и учащихся. В 1922 году дворцы национализировали и устроили в них санаторий имени Ленина.
Ruins of the sanatorium "Gulripsh" of Nikolai Nikolaevich Smetsky.
The ruins of two pre-revolutionary buildings of the Gulripsh tuberculosis sanatorium are located near the highway 10 km southeast of Sukhum. In 1913, Smetsky built a four-story Red building of 112 rooms with 250 seats. At that time this building was the largest in Abkhazia. Nearby there was a huge garden where coconuts, agaves, and acacias grew. There is a funny legend about this building. Allegedly, Smetsky’s wife herself was sick with tuberculosis, and from one doctor he heard advice: make sure that every night she sleeps in a new place where the air is clear of bacilli. For this purpose, a house-palace of 365 rooms was built, which helped the woman recover.
In 1914, Smetsky donated the Red Corps to the Red Cross for the treatment of war invalids. The White Building was transferred to the Ministry of Education in 1916 for the treatment of teachers and students. In 1922, the palaces were nationalized and a sanatorium named after Lenin was built in them.
Вот как эти строения выглядели раньше, архивные фото.
This is what these ruins looked like before, archival photos.
