Story
The Soviet Installation was abandoned some time ago after the Remnant revolted against the Soviet oppression. It now is occupied by patrolling Trinity soldiers as well as Remnant hunting parties, sometimes fighting each other.
First Visit
Shortly before entering the installation Lara talks to Sophia for the first time. She threatens her with her bow and tells her to leave her and the Remnant alone. Unwilling to abandon her quest, Lara presses on, though. Soon she has to get rid of Trinity soldiers blocking her way, before discovering the Remnant General who provides her with her first Mission.
After hearing about Jacob she continues up the mountain side into the old Gulag to rescue him, but is discovered by Trinity and taken prisoner. Konstantin interrogates her and Ana, her stepmother, reveals herself to be an Trinity agent as well.
Lara and Jacob manage to break out of the prison and together they narrowly escape Konstantin and his helicopter. They split up after Jacob rescues Lara form the freezing water she fell into. She heads for the old Soviet copper mines, where she meets Jacob again and they begin their journey through the mountain.
Second Visit
After Konstantin has taken the Atlas and kidnapped Jonah Lara sets out for a rescue mission. This brings her back to the Soviet Installation. She follows a track left by Trinity up the hills and finally reaches the Research Base.
