MONGOLIA / Bayantal / 2008. Abandoned Soviet military base after the collapse of the USSR. Chemical products. The withdrawal of the Soviet Army left behind a significant legacy of pollution caused by oil-based products and other waste products, as well as the damage caused to the landscape and the soil. Hundreds of contaminated sites have required environmenta linvestigation and cleanup. Major sources of pollution included transport, rocket and jet fuels, kerosene, lubricants, solvents, galvanic wastes, remnants of chemical weapons and decontamination substances.
Eric Lusito - Traces of the Soviet Empire
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p8ug
These haunting photographs show the remnants of the once all-powerful Soviet empire.
They are the work of Eric Lusito, who spent six years travelling throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan to seek out remains of the military installations that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.
Describing himself as working like an archaeologist, the French photographer says his project "Traces of the Soviet Empire" is a photographic record of the land and architecture - haunted by the symbols and history of a once powerful Empire.
The on-going project takes the form of three series: exteriors, interiors, and found photographs "images from another time, another space and another world".
What he found was colourful propaganda wall art, faded frescos of Lenin, discarded gas masks, and huge monuments, including those in the shapes of a soldier and a sword.

Fukushina: Decontamination
March 8, 2013 - Fukushima, Japan: The soil in Lidatemura has one of the highest levels of radiation. Almost all farmers have left their homes and farms. Hot houses sit empty and abandoned. Two years after a powerful earthquake and tsunami wrecked Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, many towns nearby remain abandoned, too affected by radiation for residents to return for more than short visits. About 160,000 people were displaced by the nuclear disaster, and even some areas outside the 20-kilometer (12-mile) zone that initially was completely off-limits are too contaminated to be cleaned up in the foreseeable future. In others, work is proceeding on cleaning soil, leaves, grass and buildings to help reduce radiation to safer levels. (Hitoshi Katanoda/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Fukushina: Decontamination
March 8, 2013 - Fukushima, Japan: Clean up crews in contaminated areas shave off 5 centimeters of earth and place it in plastic bags to be carried to a temporary storage site. They also remove trees and weed, and put into black bags with a 1,000 kilogram capacity. Two years after a powerful earthquake and tsunami wrecked Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, many towns nearby remain abandoned, too affected by radiation for residents to return for more than short visits. About 160,000 people were displaced by the nuclear disaster, and even some areas outside the 20-kilometer (12-mile) zone that initially was completely off-limits are too contaminated to be cleaned up in the foreseeable future. In others, work is proceeding on cleaning soil, leaves, grass and buildings to help reduce radiation to safer levels. (Hitoshi Katanoda/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
