The richest published account of garrison life at Liubech-1, insider-toned but without named sources - treat its unique details as single-source. Carries the unit designation chain (Soviet field post 03354, Ukrainian military unit A3330), the ‘rest base’ map disguise, the town inventory (three five-storey panel blocks, three shops, club, kindergarten, school and a music-school branch, hotel, dormitory), the May 1986 ‘geodesists’ who were dosimetrists, the unnamed chlorine-like tablets worn for six months and withdrawn (‘the results of this experiment are unknown’), the 1988 declaration of ineffectiveness, specialist transfers to Komsomolsk-on-Amur from 1990, dismantling in the early 2000s, the end of all activity in 2003, the ten families still living without utilities into the winter of 2005-06, and formal disbandment in 2008. Also the source of this page’s photographs, including the 1970s images of the standing antennas. Later coverage (Telegraf, 2025) derives from this article. Quotations are our translation.
