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.
Our Guide
Inside the nearest building behind the radar
Some accidental light made some panels seem still live
One of several space race type murals..this is my favourite.
Plenty of posters and photos in this lecture room,all in Russian though!
Another mural
In another building now with a fabulous control room complete with Globe.
Northern Hemisphere Globe also showing the atmospheres.
And finally another lecture room depicting various missiles.
Missiles
A couple from the school nearbye
This Guy seemed to crop up everywhere
Outside the Cinema..every mural or poster seemed to have helmets,guns,missiles or planes on!
I hope these were of interest to you,for me,they were easily the best part of the visit.
