  • description: ⛔️ The Soviet Union had a policy of closing towns and cities of strategic and military importance off to the outside world. Even non-Soviet residents could enter Maylisuu due to its Uranium mines which were so important to the nuclear weapons program. Well I decided to head to deepest Kyrgyzstan to see what a formerly closed city looked like back then and see how life was progressing now. Join me as I become one of the few foreigners to enter Maylisuu
