In this video I explore a semiabandoned town in northern Kazakhstan, a thriving hub of uranium mining during the Soviet era. Established in the 1960s, it was a secret town which wasn't even shown on Soviet maps. While the rest of the USSR struggled with shortages, this uranium town was a place of luxury, with shelves stocked full of delicacies and residents dressed in the finest Soviet fashions.

But after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, uranium mines closed, and the town’s population plummeted from 10,000 to less than 300 as people abandoned their homes, leaving behind a ghost town in the middle of nowhere.

This video consists of 2 parts:

00:00 Journey to the semiabandoned town of uranium miners
12:51 A short visit to an area closely associated with the explored town

Enjoy!

Filmed in May 2022.
