Interesting video and beautiful motif, although neglected. I don't think many ordinary miners had a chance to vacation there for free. Only deserving members of the party and the higher military had access to the site, perhaps such as Alexey Stakhanov, the record-breaking miner who allegedly managed to get 227 tons of coal in one shift in 1935. This is controversial today, as we now know that this was just a trick of the Soviet propaganda to increase public morale. Ok the methods still haven't changed, but it was a nice try! Check it out for yourself on Wikipedia and other sources.
Really liked this video. So green! Such a nice place to walk around and enjoy being outside. Would be nice if the government opened a building and did tours and talked about the history of the sanatorium. . . Hope you are having a good time there!
I'm very angry now since because of st ,,u,pi,d photographers I didn't go to the small alley where it was that tram station. I woldn't see much there but still. Next time
A beautiful place with beautiful vegetation overlooking the Black Sea, although it takes a lot of investment to restore it. I don't understand why no one invested money in reviving a place like this. God, what a neglected gem this place is🌴💎. Reminds me of Cuba!
Yes I was thinking the same - why did Putin waste all that money on his so called palace when this place would have cost less to restore - he could have included a private residence for himself
Hi Sergey, thanks for sharing this serene beauty. It sounds so peaceful and all that greenery everywhere. The cat is clever, finding it's perfect spot for meditation. I hope you go here regularly to walk, sit, eat and just embrace this environment. If it's easier for you in Russian, I don't mind, I can try subtitles. I appreciate you doing this in English. Oh what an ambience! Love it. Can't wait to see your dacha one day. Wowww. Amazing!! The Russian architecture and art is so mesmerising and exquisite in design. Coming here instantly eases your mind, body & soul. I would have spa, massage out on private terrace and sleep listening to Tchaikovsky swinging on a hammock with my pussycat. This place is beautiful even though abandoned and left to nature to grow over it and around it. You feel the presence of its magnificence. The rail is most interesting too and sharing your memories back in that time which brought you a lot of joy! Maybe you can film part two Series One, Episode Two or Part Two of this film focusing on your favourite memories and exploring it more now as this is a true gem in Sochi.
A beautiful place and thanks for taking us there! After 80 years, elaborate reinforced concrete exteriors tend to be past their sell-by date and are sooner or later pretty much doomed. Probably not the best quality to begin with. The soviet mosaic that wasn't mosaic is called terrazzo. The word elite in English is pronounced more like it is in Russian (not e-light).
The building and complex for sure is amazing. But it was never a place where ordinary working class people were allowed. In fact the place was named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze as an alibi or cover up for a famous follower of Stalin who fell out with the dictator and was forced to commit suicide in 1937. Stalin had almost everyone of his family also executed. Sorry, 'respect and care' for the working classes never go together with communism or socialism, not then and not today!!! I speak of my own family's experience ...
I visited it several years ago and I think that it would be great to return it back to life... Nowadays Sochi is extremely popular, I think it could become a new place of attraction for tourists. It only needs investments, and, unfortunately, great investments...
@@CrazyRussianSergey Hm, in fact he could heal you from all things happening to you on this planet by simply ending your life on the spot. I don't know, Mother Russia suffered so much by his actions. About ideology and history (you said you are into history and so am I): listen to another of your ex-leader's and salute him as all good old mushiks (мужик) would have done: th-cam.com/video/2cBdDE80_T4/w-d-xo.html
You'd have holidays like that if you were a Soviet coal miner! (for free of course)

Wow that place really needs renovated! Such an amazing facility.

Keep up the good work and have a nice holiday!
Amazing building and complex - certainly it shows the respect and care the working classes were given and deserved -

@@Cairol58 Very interesting- the title of the video is very misleading but then!
If I buy this hotel one day you will be the hotel manager. Just don't tell to your neighbor.
*MANAGERS!!!*
One day _"manager guy"_ is gonna walk in to work and hear, _"Hello Vladimir, we've decided to promote you!"_ That'll REALLY mess with his head!

I think it's already good enough) at least the tourist places. Just the prices went so high it's really crazy... I wanna stay here!!!
Once a year to Disney the parents will go broke. It's over 1k just for tickets for a family of 3.
Looks like a nice place
Maybe you mean Sanitarium? Not Sanatorium?😅😊
Is the place haunted?
Very cool. Stalin healthcare implements is very good!
Stalin could even heal you from a wrong ideological thinking!
@@CrazyRussianSergey Very true! His books are so good!
