Pripyat

In April 1986, a newly built Soviet city of 50,000 disappeared nearly overnight. Pripyat, roughly 2 kilometers from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, ranks among the eeriest, most dangerous ghost towns on the planet.Woods are growing up around the city, bursting through foundations and overtaking buildings at a steady pace.Trees overtake the town’s main square.Pripyat is, in some ways, a museum of artifacts from the now-defunct Soviet Union. Posters for Soviet-era politicians sit in an abandoned warehouse.Residents were forced to leave Pripyat quickly, and items like this piano were simply too large to transport during the evacuation.Backstage at the community theater, costumes and props lie scattered on the floor, having sat for nearly a quarter century.A newly built amusement park opened on April 27, 1986, the day the city began evacuations.Though the town is uninhabited and access is regulated by the Ukrainian government, there are signs of graffiti and vandalism in many areas of Pripyat. Visits to the city are expected to increase in number as the Ukrainian government has announced plans to increase access for visitors in the coming years.
