A large, weathered Soviet emblem with a hammer and sickle is mounted on a dilapidated building's roof, as the camera slowly pulls back to reveal the surrounding abandoned cityscape. The scene transitions to an aerial view of a rusted, derelict Ferris wheel in a forested area, followed by a crumbling multi-story building with exposed interiors, a wide shot of an abandoned urban settlement with overgrown streets, a decaying shipwreck in murky water, and finally a church with green domes surrounded by bare trees.
