The Soviet Union Falls
As the Kola borehole closing coincided with the Soviet Union collapsing, and by 1995 everything came to a permanent halt. The site exists to this very day, although it is flagged as an environmental hazard. Tourists are welcome to visit the nearby town of Zapolyarny, roughly six miles away from the site, to see some relics from the experiment. Until today, the Kola Superdeep Borehole remains the deepest man-made point of entry to the core of Earth, no one has beat their record since!
