Chornobyl-2 is located northwest of the small town of Chornobyl in Polissia region of Ukraine, but it is impossible to find on any topographical map.
Exploring the maps, you are likely to find a symbol for a children's boarding house, or a dotted line of forest roads on a place of accommodation of the town, but no reference to urban and technical buildings. In the USSR, they were able to hide a secret, even more so if it was a military secret.

Chornobyl-2 was a former secret military settlement in Ukraine, located in the Ivankiv district of Kyiv Oblast. Before the Chornobyl disaster, it was administratively part of the Chornobyl district. The settlement was evacuated due to radioactive contamination caused by the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant catastrophe and is now within the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.

Chornobyl-2 was established to serve the secret "Duga" facility, a radar system designed to detect the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles. The facility and the settlement were built in the mid-1970s. After the Chornobyl disaster, this area became part of the exclusion zone.
