There's no way to make a guess - as there's no photo's of anything
resembling an operational area. A barracks/wall/gate looks pretty
much the same regardless of what the facility is.

Translations of the book titles at
http://photofile.ru/image.php?id=9575274
and
http://photofile.ru/image.php?id=9575277

And the signage at
http://photofile.ru/image.php?id=9575470&pager=2
and
http://photofile.ru/image.php?id=9575471

might help. As would any overheads.
