Pivdennoznyshchenograd (Soravian: Південнознищеноград; "northern destroyed city"), also known as Gorod-α (Soravian: Город-α) is a ghost town and former nuclear test facility located in far-northern Zalykia in Soravia.

Purpose constructed in 1960, Pivdennoznyshchenograd and its counterpart Pivnichoznyshchenograd (Gorod-β) were built to conduct tests on the effect of nuclear blasts on urban centres. As well as this, they served as an observational study to the blast resistance of many common Soravian architecture designs of the time. It is one of hundreds of ghost towns located across the former UPSR.
