“Krokodil House”: Despair Personified

By on December 3, 2012 in News 9

Via Superchief.TV comes this unbelievably bleak series of photos from inside a Russian krokodil house. Krokodil, as you likely already know, is an incredibly destructive street drug infamous for eating the flesh of its users. Estimated life expectancy for a Krokodil user? Less than one year.

Check out the rest of the photos here. (NSFW)

    A few weeks ago I posted a comment regarding how to contact Disinfo with shipping questions because your contact form was down. It still appears to be down. I’m not sure is this site is still live or not but, if it is, could you please fix it? Thanks.

      Yes, I think I left my email address for you, but didn’t receive a response. I could very well be mistaken, but email me in any case at matt at disinfo dot com

    that must be one hellova
    powerful enough to overcome the aversion to death
    kinda like oil is
    only less pervasive and more sensational

      Can’t find the link where I read it, but I remember reading that junkies in Russia who can’t afford proper smack anymore resort to this shit because it can be made for about 1/4 the price.
      Gotta hand it to the Russians though; they even do “junkie” more hardcore than anyone else.

    I’ve seen some junkies in pretty bad shape before, but that tops it. I don’t even want to imagine what that place smells like.

    IN RUSSIA, DRUG SMOKES YOU!
    But seriously, leave it to Russia to make a drug that makes crystal meth look like simple carcinogenic rock candy.

    These photos are pretty mild compared to a film floating around on the web. Girl with no flesh or muscle from elbow to wrist, boy holding leg as they amputate the lower half with cheesewire and let it fall into a bucket. They take it because it is so cheap and so easy to make and, it seems, because in the areas they live life is openly recognised to be that cheap and pointless.

      Yeah, I’ve seen those, and they fall under the “cannot unsee” category.
