Kopachi was a village near Chernobyl, Ukraine. After the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 the village was contaminated by fallout and subsequently evacuated.

After Kopachi village was evacuated the authorities, as an experiment, had all the houses torn down and buried. This village was the only village suffering this fate as a result of the Chernobyl disaster.[1]

Today the only traces left of the village today is a series of mounds, each containing the remains of one house, topped by a sign with the international radiation symbol.
