Ordzhonikidze Sanatorium in Sochi
Ordzhonikidze Sanatorium in Sochi is so good that I recommend visit it is a must. This is not a museum, guides do not go here, not crowds of tourists come, there is no ticket office and they are not allowed inside the premises. You will be let through on the barrier, they will tell you where to go, that’s all, then you are on your own. If there is a car, it is more convenient to drive in from side of the upper entrance: here and parking place in the early morning always there is, and the inspection is obtained with the wow effect. You kinda go out because the central building of the club-dining room and, climbing its steps, see a stunning landscape with the sea on the horizon. If there is no car, then the bus will help you, and go up from the stop “Sanatorium Ordzhonikidze “up the stairs.
The complex is not that abandoned – it is protected. And it is clear that in some places they do the cleaning, but eight years of idleness and absence daily care gradually turned him into a ghost sanatorium. Here, any frame is obtained as from the cinema, I would not be surprised if Sochi photographers are carrying out wedding and love story photoshoots with such Entourage is difficult to spoil photos. There is a lot of shadow, a lot arches, gaps and spans – a very bright atmosphere. Monumental, but not massive, solemnly, but not pompous, stately but not arrogant. In short, you already understood that Did I like the Ordzhonikidze sanatorium in Sochi? Here you have some pictures.
Ordzhonikidze Sanatorium in Sochi
History reference
In 1934, Sergo People’s Commissar of Heavy Industry Ordzhonikidze launched the construction of a sanatorium in Sochi, and personally participated in the selection of a place. In 1935, after exploration A team of architects from among young professionals was selected. In the same year, the construction of a club-dining room began (central building) and dormitories (side buildings). To build this beauty took only three years, and the first guests visited the sanatorium 13 December 1937. Fountain in the central square of the Sanatorium Ordzhonikidze in Sochi finished in 1939. In 1952, he appeared here the funicular that runs between the sanatorium and the beach.
And then the Soviet Union was over, but until 2010 the sanatorium functioned until it was finally closed due to the change the owner. The staff (about 300 people) was thrown into the street, and for ordinary people who came here to improve health, a fairy tale about the old Hottabych over (the film was filmed here). Before Olympics in Sochi, an attempt was made to restore the sanatorium as a luxury hotel, to have time to include it in the list basic olympic hotels and make money.
According to the Sochi architect Kalyamin M.N. invited as an expert in the commission for the survey sanatorium – there were revealed three serious problems that It was impossible to decide on the first click. The first: because of the construction some kind of unreal massive building higher up the mountain Bytkha, which was built with violations and it is not clear how the past State Commission, there have been major changes in the soil. At the sanatorium buildings discrepancies between the blocks and significant cracks were found. Second, the difference between the requirements for the buildings of that era and modern. Ordzhonikidze sanatorium and in the best of times was calculated for earthquakes of no more than 5-6 points, and now in Sochi built with the expectation of 8-9.
Considering the defects that already existed at the time of inspection, which in general did not correspond to the new requirements for seismic resistance, the sanatorium had to be demolished to the ground and rebuild again. Well, the last obstacle to the rapid recovery Ordzhonikidze sanatorium in Sochi is the belonging of the complex to list of architectural monuments. That is, by law it can be restore and repair only with preservation of all details interior and exterior. Judging by the reaction of the owners, no documentation on this account since the time of the Union has not survived, which means before the restoration had to perform expensive and long-term revision of everything.
In short, the sanatorium neither for the Olympiad nor for today never started repairing. In 2016, the privatization deal the sanatorium was declared illegal and the whole complex was taken over by Office of the President of the Russian Federation. According to the latest news that It turned out to dig in RuNet – in 2017 it was going to restore for foreign investments, the amount of which estimated at 22 billion rubles. Will it actually or-
