In reply to Taylor. Thanks Taylor! Yes, the mozzies are a curse this time of year, and apparently the warming climate is leading to more ticks :/

I went there today. Super easy to access from either the street side or the forest side. The villa and the Lenin statue are still surrounded by fences, but the fences into the villa are super easy to access. At one section, an entire segment of the fence is knocked over, so it’s as easy as walking right over it into the villa area. The basement door in the back was open and allowed for easy access into the villa after traversing through the basement. While I was in the villa, an older couple came around and started taking pictures from outside of the fence, so the site is pretty known. I stayed quiet until they left, but it was incredibly easy to explore the grounds. Well worth the visit. Bring bug spray though! I was eaten alive by mosquitos and had several ticks on me.

I went here last week and it was really easy to access. Lenin and the buildings are fenced but not very well… If you want to get into the main building, there’s an open basement door at the back of the building with stairs that lead you up to the other floors.

Was there this weekend. The 3 Lenins are still there: The bust, the relief and the statue. But the statue is now protected by a fence. Still easy to visit. Also the Officer’s House is locked and protected by a fence, so now in order to get in you need to take the spooky tunnel from the backyard…

Hey, I really love your posts! Unfortunately -being a late starter- not much is left for me to see at most of these sites. They’re either gone, cleaned up and guided, or totally trashed and vandalized. Since you keep posting amazing new discoveries like this one, I have to ask, how do you find these places?? My only sources are websites like this or groups on Facebook, but those tend to be very secretive about the whereabouts of their locations. So please, educate me! 🙂
