Check out this abandoned building in Russia
I guess it was some sort of amusement park or museum or something?

5. One of the comments says it's an old kid's summer camp!
Even included a link to a map:



This place is old child summer camp.
It’s near new Bobsled line in ‘Paramonovo’ - 50 km from Moscow.

6. I can easily see why it would be abandoned
Looks like that octopus is about to go in a window or two.

Abandoned places that kids used to play in are always sort of sad.

8. On a related note...
I found this side with a defunct Disney park called Hoop-n-Holler Hollow
