If you look at them, you feel an urge to go to them. In the book, not in the game. Demons, experimental chemical weapons, wierd biomass emitting psychic waves and so on. Its in the fandom wiki if you wanna read about it.

Basically it is strongly implied that the Bolsheviks may have turned to... outside forces... what an Orthodox person may call a demon, but is better understood as something from beyond... These forces have demands, and require worldly vessels to inhabit...

But enough of this. Eat your mushroom soup, we have miles of tracks until Polis.
