Construction of the century - this is how one of the projects in the Moscow region to create an artificial reservoir can be described. The Podolsk Sea was supposed to become an analogue of the Pirogov reservoir. Back in the 70s, the party gave the task to scientists to solve the problem with a reservoir in the south of the Moscow region, in the nearest suburb. Yes, scientists said that there is no such place. Therefore, the party's hand poked near Podolsk and said «here». It was decided to build a dam and dam the Pakhra River in the place where it merges with the Mocha.
Dam and Podolsk Sea
They resettled people, built a new bridge and a whole village for builders - the village of Gidrostroy. For several years, they removed the soil and built a dam. And during the trial flooding, it became clear that the scientists were right and because of the karst rocks, the water level would not rise. The construction of the century was frozen, and the party became thoughtful. I never came up with anything. As a result, instead of the Podolsk Sea, there is a whopper made of concrete and bristles with its rods with reinforcing bars in all directions. And from the village of Gidrostroy, nothing remained at all, it is not even clear where it was.
I won't say that we are technogenic lovers, but sometimes you can climb over some ruins, especially if the weather is good and the nature is around. I still want to get to Pripyat somehow (where the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is), but my wife does not let me in, she’s afraid 🙂 True, this is not entirely technogenic, there is a slightly different topic.

Many people come here for a picnic. It is understandable - it is 10 minutes from Podolsk, there is a river, a lot of places to rest with lush grass. The only pity is that they are not used to cleaning up after themselves ... At this rate, any available places are becoming trash heaps.

The gidrostroy settlement, the remnants of an unfinished dam, is, in fact, technogenic. The place is not very impressive, but you can go.
