My name's Takiany and I love adventure!
Together with Oemmie, I want to explore the world!
So, we're now on our way to duga.
well yeah, we're already there...
So I mean, we're in the van again and we're almost at Duga.
the radar system which could detect launched rockets.
Everyone is tired,
but this will be an awesome experience to all of us.
Duga was a Soviet Union over the horizon radio system.
Simply said , a radio system which was used for detecting missiles.
The system operated from 1976,
till 1989.
The Duga radars were very powerful
and broadcast in the shortwave radio bands.
The signals suddenly appeared without any warning.
because it was top secret after all.
You could hear this signals on some radiofrequenties as a rat-rat-rat sound.
Very soon the sound got a nickname : The Russian woodpecker.
it disturbed undesirable radio stations,
aviation communication
and many other communication options.
The signal became such a nuisance that some radio stations began including
'Woodpecker Blankers' in their circuit designs in an effort to filter out the interference.
So here it is, Duga!
The radio system which was build to
detecting misles that probably could be launched from America.
that gave the soviets a few minutes time to work against it.
Also something important to know is...
Earlier, when this was still a part of the Soviet Union...
This place was top secret!
Nobody was allowed to speak about this place.
On the map it was indicated as a summer camp.
to trick all the people you know...
I think those things were....
would those be the transmission masts?
There supposed to be some ladders here...
...they even were here last year.
but...
They were removed because someone climbed to the top last year.
to make photos.
But he felt down!
From this thing.
He died instantly.
That's why they removed the ladders.
so, there isn't a legal way to climb up this radar system.
- You can use that cable, to climb up to the first platform,
and then use the fixed ladders.
- I see, there are still ladders!
But the only thing is that you need to get up there first.
Wait a minute, isn't that just a folding ladder...lol
- Where there's a will there's a way!
- Anyway, I don't think we should climb it.
The guide will slap us in the face.
Four years ago we weren't allowed to come here.
Even the Ukraine people weren't allowed to come here.
It's only open to public for four years now.
That's basically because they first had to remove all the stuff from the military's.
The stuff that nobody should know.
They removed it all.
So after they removed everything, they just opened it to public.
Oemmie isn't it warm here?
Just like in a dessert.
She's tired.
Government, you know how it goes...
There's a cable on the ground, probably from the radio system.
If it falls down on you head.... it must have really hurt you.
So, the corridors where we're walking now...
There are underground tunnels.
And the tunnels are connected to each other all over the area.
We're now heading the the control room.
but Oemmie's exhausted.
- Indeed.
- Oemmie walked so long and far today.
It's cooler inside.
I think this were all the computers.
They all smashed it into pieces.
Nobody is able to know what was happening here in the past.
Like I said, .. top secret.
- Do you have a light on your own.
- Not yet.
- Because it's dangerous inside.
- Seems like....
Okaaay....
- So I think we're in a safer area now.
Up to the present day, the people don't still know what this all means.
what does this murals mean...
Maybe they were planning....
...to go to space and build something.
Maybe an entire city, who knows....
- Where should we go anyway?
So, this was probably used for the servers.
could be...
But unfortunately...
everything is broken in here.
But off-course...
it's like what I said before. We shouldn't know what they were doing here.
So there are many inscriptions in this room.
Maybe they wrote about how much they disliked America.
and here they probably wrote how much they liked their own countries.
I think this basin was built against America.
It must have been expensive.
They spent so much money on building this.
They built this place close the the power-plant,
because they wanted to use the power from just one single reactor,
to supply this site with power.
But...
Nowadays...
It's nothing!
Even an Ipad is more powerful now than a radar system.
So, if there wasn't a nuclear disaster in the past...
This was probably also abandoned now.
Currently we're standing on the rooftops.
from just one building.
but we've got a nice view here...
from the Duga radar system.
There's a way to climb higher!
The ants are very big here...
bigger than usually.
So, we can climb even higher by using the crappy stair over there!
Takiany's going to do it!
Afraid of heights or not...
You're almost here!
You've done it!
Everyone see, how high it was.
Well done!
I did it !
So, we just d....
So, we just climbed the roof!
I'm afraid of heights, but I did it anyway!
To show you this!
I also wanted to see it myself.
Let's make a panorama photo here, that would be awesome.
So, now we're in the teaching-room where they were practicing.
all the actions they needed to know.
This place definitely had something to do with space.
- I think it are all the types of misles they owned.
- Now you say it.
misles.
- I like this room a lot.
- Yes, it's authentic.
too bad there aren't any computers left.
See you next week ;-)
