The development of the "Pripyat outalands", which, as we said, will be divided into two locations, is entering its final stage. At the moment, the developers have the last, but at the same time, the most important part - to fill with characters, quests and activities the first of the two locations on which the stalkers will step - the Black Forest.
Today we would like to open the veil of secrecy over what awaits you.
"Black Forest" is located on the left bank of the Pripyat River, just north of the city to which it gave its name, in the valley between the villages of Krasno and Usov.
Since the 50s of the 20th century, they have been closely engaged in animal husbandry. Cowsheds and pigsties were built around the villages, and several hundred hectares were allocated for pastures. A huge system of irrigation canals and a dam, which saved the surrounding areas from flooding, functioned without failures from the very opening.
Since the mid-70s, a military unit has been located on the outskirts of the villages, the purpose of which was to create and store a strategic stock of meat. The main building, the breeding laboratory, the underground bunker-refrigerator - the construction went on for five years.
The service of the military did not cause difficulties for the villages. On the contrary, letters from the chairmen of state farms for the provision of labor and equipment have always been viewed positively. Local residents helped rebuild the military town. On the occasion of the inauguration of the military town, the military unit was given the status of “separate”, which removed it from the general subordination.
From that moment in the history of the village Krasno and Usov is a white spot. These names did not appear in the media, and documents disappeared from the archives.
10 years ago the road to these villages was flooded. The lowland was turned into an impenetrable swamp. The high content of methane in the air made the passage of an untrained person through swamps really difficult. There are known cases of missing people.
