I’ve posted a few photos from this spot in the past.
This abandoned Russian early warning missile radar station is a pretty cool spot to visit. This one sits inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Soviet Propaganda
I took this photo these Soviet Statues under the People’s Friendship Arch in Kiev back in 2018. The Arch, you can see a portion of it on the right side, and these Hero’s Statues were constructed in 1982. They are supposed to depict friendship between Russian and Ukrainian peoples (soldiers - left statue and workers - right statue).
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian government announced plans to dismantle the arch as part of their 2016 decommunization laws.
Chernobyl Mural
Here is a mural I captured inside an abandoned building in the city of Pripyat. Sorry I can’t remember which building. Maybe some of my travel companions will remember. I think it was the Post Office in the town square….maybe????

Soviet Propaganda
I found these old Soviet propaganda signs at the back of the Pripyat Cultural Center. Pripyat had over 49,000 people before it was abandoned after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The Cultural Center building was a great explore.

DUGA at Sunset
I really wanted to return to Chernobyl in 2020, but like all good things this year, COVID messed that up. Let’s hope that trip can happen in 2021. Here is a photo I took from 2018 at the Soviet Nuclear Missile Detection site.
