Returned recently to the Zone to see Chernobyl 2 including Duga.Easily one my favourite explores ever despite trudging around in a foot of snow,we saw the Radar Aray up close plus several command centres with lecture rooms complete with posters and murals dating back to the 1970s.We saw the Fire Station along with a school and a Cinema.I wont add many shots of Duga as there are better shots of it in other reports.

Upon entering the site,we see our first mural.

I hope these were of interest to you,for me,they were easily the best part of the visit.
 
Great to see all the murals. I think you got sold a pup with the guide though.

Good to hear from you and thanks for sharing.
 
Yeh they had a bit of a pro-military thing goin on they soviets. Nice collection though, the space race one is in superb condition.
 
Great photos! that guy you say keeps cropping up everywhere is Vladmir Lenin...
 
Great Pics klempner! Just awesome that DUGA, definitely on my bucket list! Good to see more shots of the murals and control rooms too :)
 
Great to see some pics from you K69 its been a while! Feels strange as I remember seeing this on the news when it happened, I'm sure you're too young to remember such things :playful: but who would have thought it would become such a popular place to visit, one of them places I'd love to see but just haven't seemed to of got around to it, time to pull me finger outa me arse I think...

Intriguing set of images there K69!
