How to climb up the the roof of 16-story building in Chernobyl
The building with the USSR national emblem on the roof is used as something like observation deck in case of it's location. You will see the Chernobyl NPP, the Duga-radar and the whole desert city from here.

How to do?

1. Near the central square you will find several high-rise buildings.
2. You need the one with the USSSR emblem on it.
3. Climp up the roof (by feet, the elevators stopped working long ago here)
4. The desert city and the hammer and sickle-emblem on it - it looks creepy and some kind of symbolically. Take a photo.
