with generators for electrical power generation, and served at times as an experimental hydroelectric station. During the 1960s and 1970s, plans were made to refit the plant as a flour mill, but these never materialized. Myths and legends The suicide of Fedor Adamov at the mill has sparked local legends that Adamov's ghost haunts the mill, and appears to the unwary, promising to show them a hidden treasure. The legend holds that such unwary visitors are never seen again. There are many blogs about ghostly encounters at the mill. Current condition Adamov's mill has stood 140 years on the banks of the Sosna River, bearing the constant barrage of weather, and has been largely unmaintained for the past four decades, leaving it in a state of disrepair that makes it hazardous for present day visitors.
