Spooky photos of an abandoned Russian brain-research facility

1ee09_brains18.jpg Just in time for Halloween, photographer Alex Klochkov took these photos of an abandoned Soviet-era brain research facility in Russia. Klochkov's photos have a lyrical beauty about them — but then, that beauty gets mitigated by the exposed crania of decomposing, rodentine test subjects. Geesh.

There's plenty of Fincher-meets-Reznor ghoulishness to be found in here, with a touch of Cold-War sadness.
