Soviet-Era Apartment Abandoned 20 Years

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a soviet-era apartment was opened apparently untouched since May 1989.  The past resident seemed to have issues with the Russian authorities and fled in a hurry, leaving food and other items sitting on the counter.

A wall calendar showed August 1988, and the kitchen cupboard and drawers contained plastic crockery and aluminium cutlery along with food brands that would delight fans of GDR nostalgia these days: an empty bottle of “Vita” Cola, “Marella” margarine, “Juwel” cigarettes and a bottle of “Kristall” vodka…However, it is not the first unusual discovery he [the architect who uncovered the site] has made. He once found the corpse of an old man amid bundles of editions of the local Leipziger Volkszeitung newspaper dating back to 1938.
