Kadykchan Ghost Town

Kadykchan is one of Russia's starkest abandoned towns: a coal settlement with Gulag origins, emptied after disaster and economic collapse. Its apartment blocks and civic buildings create a frozen-town atmosphere suited to dark-heritage mapping. Visitors should treat the site as remote, derelict, and dangerous rather than as a casual ghost walk.

Remote derelict settlement. Buildings may be unstable; severe weather and lack of services matter.
