## Somewhere, somehow, sometime...

Lost History

Every underground explorer is dreaming about the old place. Explorer from Petersburg is dreaming about it twice, since the city built on marshes is poor in such places. We already have failed with one location, but haven't stop our quest. Once Mutabor's attention was attracted by a fragment of Kryukov canal existing on old maps, but disappeared on modern ones. Then Mutabor has found out that this fragment was not just covered up with soil, but hidden into the brick tube! After that he managed to make picture of the canal face located under the Blagoveschensky bridge (pic 1).

The only way to this place was by water, so Mutabor and Mokele had made an attempt to explore this sewer in winter, when the river Neva was ice-bound (pic 2, 3). But soon we were disappointed: the outlet appeared to be backfilled (pic 4). Some time later Mutabor had found out that the sewer was destroyed yet in the beginning of the XXth century. So we were looking for an object, which had not been existing for more than a century!

Secrets of the Old Tower

Long-long ago Soul and Mutabor were walking around the former Smolny Monastery in Petersburg. And Mutabor had seen a hole in one of the monastery's towers. He decided to climb there, dreaming of old secret rooms. But the reality appeared to be quite ordinary: old brick walls and modern rubbish. There was a passage to somewhere, but bricked up (pic 5–8).

Quest of an Utilidor

Yet another forgotten episode from Plutonia's life: in some media Mutabor had read about an utility corridor at Vaneeva street in Petersburg. So in a fine spring day Mutabor, Lanivs and Lucy had made an attempt to find this utilidor. They had a good walk, but found nothing... (pic 9–11)

Temporal Anomaly

We (Lanivs and Mutabor) new about this place for quite a long time. Formerly here was the radio transmitting center, having been used for many purposes from civil broadcasting to quenching the "enemy voices". Once (in winter 16/17) we tried to visit this place, but found it living: at the checkpoint (and probably also in some main building's windows) we saw light, the area was surrounded by fresh barbed wire and illuminated with modern LED lamps. But after just a year, in January 2018 Mutabor have found the area completely abandoned; moreover the buildings are in so bad condition, if they were foresaken for many years! (pic 12–16) This looks like a temporal anomaly in sci-fi, where time runs much quicker than it should do. And only one evidence of the former destination of this place has been found (pic 17).

Don't forget your number!
