Continuous depressing news coming out of Ukraine. Not that Russia is making much progress (that’s the good news), but more along the lines of more and more people getting hurt, killed and displaced. So needless.
Here are a few photos from the Jupiter Factory in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
I don’t know what to say about the war in Ukraine. It is so frustrating to know people, historical sites, houses, etc.. are getting injured, damaged or worse because of one person’s greed and evil intent.
These are photos from Chernobyl (pre-war).

Did you have a great week? I’m glad we’re going into the weekend, and I can get some things done around the house.
Today’s photo is from the abandoned Jupiter Factory in Pripyat Ukraine, which sits a few miles from Chernobyl and is within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The Russians claimed the factory made cassette recorders, but in reality it made semiconductor components for their military. We spent a couple hours exploring this site during our 2018 Chernobyl trip.
Here is another photo from the Jupiter Factory inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. See my last post for a few more details on this factory. I took this photo on an upper floor within the factory complex. I think this was a mechanical space or maybe support space. It didn’t look like factory production space to me. I liked the columns and other support beams in this room.

This is the abandoned Jupiter Factory located on the edge of Pripyat within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The Russian’s officially claimed this factory manufactured cassette recorders and components for home appliances, but it secretly produced semiconductor components for the Soviet military and had a test workshop for robotic systems.

Blair and I found this cool spot upstairs in the Jupiter Factory. This is one of hundreds of abandoned buildings within Pripyat, Ukraine, which is part of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
