Chornobyl Favorites

Favorite thing: This is the bridge over Prypyat river (the town was named after it). It shows a breaathtaking view on gorgeous nature of Polissya (Polissya is the name of the region, North of Ukraine-South of Belarus) and a view on the (in)famous nuclear station.

The river carries its water into Dnipro. Who can tell now how much alpha, beta and gamma particles it gave...

Now it gives the sense of peace and calmness. Nobody is there, only a group of tourists.

In the night of April 26, 1986, Prypyat-town inhabitants heard a lowd clap and the saw a glow over the station. Who could imagine what really happened. They just wanted to see and they ran to that bridge, where the statyion was seen very well, perhaps the best.....

The sight was enchanting. Over the glow a light-violet fluorescent pillar went into the dark night sky... People were just watching... they had to ran away as far and as fast as possible but who knew....

Fondest memory: It was late spring, tiim of birds migration. Wind blew to the North. Soon over Scandinavian countries the whole flocks of dead birds started falling from the sky.... When the scientists disclosed the cause of their death, they began to signal to International Agency of Nuclear Power.
Wake up!!! Something terrible is going on. A very intensive radiation injection is going on somewhere. That's how the world learned about the little town in the North of Ukraine
