Population: 49,400 before the disaster.The following statistics are from 1 January 1986. On 3 April 2022, Ukrainian troops took control of Pripyat again. On 31 March 2022, Russian troops withdrew from the plant and other parts of Kyiv Oblast. ĭuring the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the city was occupied by Russian forces during the Battle of Chernobyl after several hours of heavy fighting. The 2020 Chernobyl Exclusion Zone wildfires reached the outskirts of the town, but they did not reach the plant. This was the first time former residents returned to the city since its abandonment in 1986. On 4 February 2020, former residents of Pripyat gathered in the abandoned city to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pripyat's establishment. The Azure Swimming Pool and Avanhard Stadium are two other popular tourist sites. One notable landmark often featured in photographs of the city and visible from aerial-imaging websites is the long-abandoned Ferris wheel located in the Pripyat amusement park, which had been scheduled to have its official opening five days after the disaster, in time for May Day celebrations. After the city of Chernobyl, this was the second-largest city for accommodating power plant workers and scientists in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In 1986, the city of Slavutych was constructed to replace Pripyat.
In 2009, over two decades after the Chernobyl incident, the Azure Swimming Pool shows decay after years of disuse. Following the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the entire population of Pripyat was moved to the purpose-built city of Slavutych. Pripyat is also supervised by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Īlthough it was located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion (now Vyshhorod Raion since the 2020 raion reform), the abandoned municipality now has the status of city of regional significance within the larger Kyiv Oblast, and is administered directly from the capital of Kyiv.
Pripyat was officially proclaimed a city in 1979 and had grown to a population of 49,360 by the time it was evacuated on the afternoon of 27 April 1986, one day after the Chernobyl disaster. Named after the nearby river, Pripyat, it was founded on 4 February 1970 as the ninth atomgrad (a type of closed town in the Soviet Union) to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which is located in the adjacent ghost city of Chernobyl. Pripyat ( / ˈ p r iː p j ə t, ˈ p r ɪ p-/ PREE-pyət, PRIP-yət Russian: При́пять), also known as Prypiat ( Ukrainian: При́пʼять, Prypiat, IPA: ), is an abandoned city in northern Ukraine, located near the border with Belarus.
