Ghost towns in the territory of the former USSR
On the territory of the former Soviet Union survived several ghost towns that were abandoned by residents at different times as a result of a variety of situations. Today I will tell you about these seven cities.

Once in Pripyat was built Europe's largest Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the city received the name of the Atomic City. Unfortunately, Pripyat continued to exist only 16 years after the status of the city, as in 1986 there was a terrible tragedy, which still speaks the whole world and which are made from living a full life ghost town of Pripyat. This terrible tragedy was an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which is why in the city there was an adverse radiation environment and residents were urgently evacuated, respectively, almost all the inhabitants of Pripyat their belongings left in the city. Now the level of radioactive contamination in the city significantly reduced, but to live in it is still impossible. However, Pripyat has become one of the most popular destinations for tourists stalkers who travel through it, studying a ghost town.

The village and the mine were built prisoners. In 1996, a tragedy occurred - an explosion at the mine, due to the deaths of six people. Immediately afterwards Kadykchan was closed, people were evicted by paying them compensation for new housing, all the houses have been disconnected from heating and electricity. Until 2010, the village had two residential streets, but in 2010, almost no one left. It is interesting that now resides Kadykchane an elderly man with two dogs.

In 1941, the old Gubakha was transformed into a city of workers from the villages of lower and upper lips. Unlike other ghost towns, where the accident occurred, Old Gubakha was abandoned because of the inhabitants of that coal deposits were exhausted - people in search of work began to quickly leave the city.
