The palace of culture Energetik, which is a play on words since it means both "energetic (lively) and working power plant, was a multipurpose center which included a theater, cinema, library, swimming pool, boxing ring, halls rooms, meeting rooms, a polygon in the basement and a gym. The whole structure remains of great interest both as a historical testimony of Pripyat as a lively city, full of services, compared with many other cities between 1970 and 1986. I was struck by the nuances of the color palettes that time has begun create, affecting the paintings of the structure and the pavement. It’s almost possible to perceive the presence of the people who trained here, maybe even to prepare themselves for the Olympic games.
