Exploring $30,000,000 Abandoned Soviet Resort

We explore a former Soviet resort city in Georgia, staying in its only operating sanitarium and visiting abandoned hotels, bathhouses, and other Soviet-era buildings. We learn about the town’s radioactive springs, Stalin’s private bath, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the way displaced people were housed in the abandoned complexes. Through Lucas and a displaced resident, we hear personal stories about Georgia’s difficult past, its transition to independence, and hopes for a more peaceful future.
