The Kresty — one of Russia’s most famous prisons — looks like a perfect location for a horror movie. Four years after the old building was shut down, its empty cells and corridors send shivers down your spine.<br /><br />The prison came to nationwide notoriety in the 1990s when the severe economic crisis and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union made crime rates skyrocket. As a result, Russian streets became an arena of bloody wars between newly formed criminal gangs.<br /><br />Today, the prison’s modern building looks nothing like a dungeon, more like a hostel or a student dorm.<br /><br />Join RT’s Konstantin Rozhkov and get a glimpse of Kresty prison life, then and now. <br /><br />RT Documentary offers you in-depth documentary films on topics that will leave no one indifferent.
