This the Officers’ Club in Chernobyl-2, a secret military town hidden in a Ukrainian forest. This club housed a cinema, gym and other meeting rooms. Also the library moved from the local hotel into this club. The club was the social meeting point for the small town.

Chernobyl-2 was home for families of military personnel that worked at the Duga radar station. Duga was a top-secret Soviet over-the-horizon radar system, made for early detection of attacks by ballistic rockets. Military personnel and their family could socialize at this club.

The radar station and the town were evacuated on April 27 1986, a day after the explosion in Reaktor No. 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
