Polymorphic Latvia #10 - Latvian Ghost Town _ SKRUNDA-1

Skrunda-1
Pays : Lettonie
District : Skrundas Novads
Construit : 1963
Démoli : 1998
Type : Station Radar

Skrunda-1, dont le nom officiel est Lidumnieki, est aujourd'hui une ville fantôme et ex-base secrète URSS.
C'était le site de deux installations radar «Dniepr» construites en 1963 par les soviétiques.
Skrunda-1 était d’une importance stratégique pour l'union soviétique afin de détecter d’éventuelles intrusions de missiles balistiques intercontinentaux et d'écoute d’objets dans l'espace.
Le 5 mai 1995, des experts de démolition américains font exploser une tour de 19 étages.
Elle abritait un ancien système radar Daryal soviétique, l'un des radars d'alerte rapide les plus avancés dans le monde.
Cet édifice était la plus importante des tours radars de l'URSS.
L'événement a réuni des dizaines de milliers de Lettons sur les routes de campagne et les champs pour regarder le spectacle tôt le matin et télédiffusé dans tout le pays.
Les dirigeants Lettons, diplomates et autres fonctionnaires fêtèrent l'explosion avec du champagne … et des apéricubes.
Cette démolition fut parrainée par les Etats-Unis, principal rival nucléaire de l'Union soviétique.
Le cout de la destruction s’éleva à 7 millions de dollars.
En 1998, le gouvernement Letton décida, à Riga, de vendre aux enchères le site de Skrunda-1 composé de 40 hectares.
Site vendu le 5 Février 2010, pour un montant total de 2,2 millions € à la firme russe Alekseevskoye-Serviss.
Cependant en 2015, le site a été racheté par la municipalité de Skrunda pour un montant de 12 000 €.
Depuis, près de la moitié de la zone a été mise à disposition des Forces armées nationales de Lettonie comme terrain d'entraînement.

Voici ce qu'il en est aujourd'hui ...

Visiting Secret Defence Settlement Skrunda I | Enchanting Latvia

Skrunda I was once a thriving military, scientific and civilian community, which held a high esteem inside the iron curtain. In its heyday, when it was home for more than 5,000 people, Skrunda-1 played a crucial part in the Soviet Union’s defence strategy. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the subsequent splintering of the republics, the disintegration of Skrunda-1 was an obvious step.

Skrunda Ghost Town

Skrunda-1, also known as Skrunda-2, is a ghost town and former Soviet radar station located 5 km to the north of Skrunda, Latvia. It was the site of two Dnepr radar installations constructed in the 1960s. A Daryal radar was being built there before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Skrunda was strategically important to the Soviet Union as its radars covered Western Europe. The two barn-like radars were one of the most important Soviet early warning radar stations for listening to objects in space and for tracking possible incoming ICBMs.
