This is another picture of the Duga-3 giant antenna Near Chernobyl. The signal emited was known in the whole world as " the russian woodpecker " (the signal sounded like a woodpecker). It was used as a over-horizon radar by the Soviet Union military forces. This facility is no longer in use. For more details, see wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Woodpecker
