Right now you are invited for a walk along Sportivnaya Street – one of the most famous streets in Pripyat.
In general Pripyat had two avenues and eleven streets. Sportivnaya street is unique, it’s the most overgrown today. In summer it becomes almost impassable, buildings are hardly see behind the trees…
The street is called “Sportivnaya” (Sports Street), but in fact it has only one sports object – a swimming pool.
The street starts from this sixteen-storey building (there are five buildings like this in Pripyat).
This is how it looked like in the mid 80s. By the way, it didn’t have trees around at all. The street itself was rather wide.
From aside.
Remains of the barbed wire obstacle: dwelling houses of Pripyat were protected by barbed wire in the second half of 1986 to prevent looting.
Some buildings have double numeration.
Sportivnaya, 3.
