The Soviet City That Collapsed Overnight — 92% of Jobs Vanished
In the winter of 1996, the Siberian mining town of Kadykchan went silent almost overnight.
A mine explosion — followed by a government closure order — caused 92% of the town’s jobs to vanish in a single decision.
What happens to a city when the only reason it exists disappears?
This video explores the rise and collapse of one of the most dramatic Soviet mono-industry “company towns” — from its creation under Stalin, to the coal empire that sustained it, to the mass resettlement program that turned it into a modern ghost city.
Inside this story:
• how Kadykchan was built for one industry — and couldn’t survive without it
• the explosion that triggered the shutdown
• why the heating plant, transport depot, schools, and services failed instantly
• families forced to choose between leaving home or freezing through winter
• what remains today in this frozen abandoned city
This is not just the story of a ghost town — it’s a story about people whose lives were tied to a system that disappeared overnight.
