I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to shoot some locations on my way from Gelendzhik to Sochi. One of my goals was the Ordzhonikidze sanatorium, but recently it was transferred to the AP’s balance and nominal security was placed on the premises. From the fence, it seemed to me that the sanatorium is indeed being taken care of and reconstruction has gradually begun. There are some updated fragments of the facades. Let’s wait; this site deserves to be revitalized.

Along the way, I encountered several curious buildings in a sad state (a-la Abkhazia), but they are strikingly picturesque from an artistic perspective. They could easily be scanned for game development! Sharing some shots.

From my observations, I noted a mass of private houses and villas in the Sochi area with "for sale" signs. Some streets remind me of Ostozhenka with super elite buildings. I wonder how much more of this kind of housing the market will absorb? In areas away from major centers, the situation is different—active private construction continues without any "for sale" signs.
