We found a Greenhouse next to School no5. The glasses were still intact, and at the bottom level, there was school furniture in a storage room. On the wall of the next building, there was a gas mask hanging at the interesting 2m diameter iron circle. We went in, and we found dozens of gas masks everywhere. We had to use our flashlights to go deeper into the building, and we realized that there are crates full of untouched “brand new” gas masks, also a couple of the wooden crates were unopened. The next room was a long corridor when we suddenly realized that this must have been a Shooting Range. At the end of the corridor, we found the bullet-marked targets. Going out, we realized that the iron circle is the emblem of the Shooting Range, a Target circle. We also found even more gas masks on the greenhouse’s other side, on the ground floor.

THE STORY

The background story of the Greenhouse and Shooting Range of Pripyat

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any articles on this Greenhouse and Shooting Range next to School no5 in Pripyat.
If you know any information about these, please contact us! Thanks!

We found a Greenhouse next to School no5. The glasses were still intact, but no original plants survived the 40 years inside. On the wall of the next building, there was a gas mask hanging at the interesting 2m diameter iron circle. We went in, and we found dozens of gas masks everywhere. We had to use our flashlights to go deeper into the building, and we realized that there are crates full of untouched “brand new” gas masks, also a couple of the wooden crates were unopened. All of the gas masks have got a tin can like a copper cylinder which is probably the filter, and a tube connecting it with the mask and the dark glasses.

The next room was a long corridor when we suddenly realized that this must have been a Shooting Range. At the end of the corridor, we found the bullet-marked targets. Going out, we realized that the iron circle is the emblem of the Shooting Range, a Target circle. We also found even more gas masks on the greenhouse’s other side, on the ground floor, and a storage room full of chairs, and school tables.

Going forward to the 16 story residential buildings, we crossed a Kindergarten with rusty slides and iron playground toys. Also, we saw a red bike inside the kindergarten.
