The best time to visit Chernobyl Exclusion Zone illegally is “Golden Autumn”. It’s period of time between mid of September till mid of November. No mosquitoes and other insects only foggy landscapes on the way throw abandoned villages to ghost town Pripyat. Every year we make an expedition to Chernobyl. This time we had drone with us to take some shots climbing on radar station Duga-3, but major goal was enjoy the post apocalyptic atmosphere in this no-man land.

The system operated from July 1976 to December 1989. Two operational Duga radars were deployed, one near Chernobyl and Chernihiv in the Ukrainian SSR (present-day Ukraine), the other in eastern Siberia. duga radar station from drone The Duga systems were extremely powerful, over 10 MW in some cases, and broadcast in the shortwave radio bands. They appeared without warning, sounding like a sharp, repetitive tapping noise at 10 Hz, which led to it being nicknamed by shortwave listeners the Russian Woodpecker. stalker on the top of russian woodpekker   duga radar station from drone   urbextour on the top of radar stationduga-3 The sun is setting, it means it’s time for us to go down. There is a long road ahead to the abandoned city of Pripyat. down from the top of russian woodpekker Pripyat is a ghost town in northern Ukraine, near the Ukraine-Belarus border. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days. Foggy morning we have been walking throw it’s empty streets. stalker on the balcony watching on abandoned town prypiat Pripyat was founded in February 1970 as an atomograd, the satellite city of an atomic power plant. It was home first the construction workers, then the plant operators and their families. “Rostok” grocery store.

A theme park was due to be opened less than one month after the accident, but all plans failed after the eve of April 26th that year. During the day we were hiding from police patrols, but sun is going down so it’s a best time to walk ghost streets to explore abandoned town. stalker is watching from the rooftop in Kiev Nature takes back all areas where people have been living.
