Pripyat and the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
For those wishing to participate in a special trip to Pripyat and the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. 27.09.09
Pripyat. This word causes the unique associations in each of us. At once we shall exclude for whom they are reduced only to the place name of the river proceeding on territory of Ukraine. We shall recollect people, for which Pripyat – the house or a battlefield with the invisible enemy – radiation. Their associations are full of bitterness, disappointments and pains. There are still we, whose life has been never directly connected with City and the Zone. But aspiration not only to know history, and and to manage to experience it pushes on an original feat – to overcome in a different degree illness storming in us a radiophobia and to touch to tragedy not only separately taken city or the country, but also all mankind.
It is impossible to remain indifferent to picturesque landscapes of the Ukrainian Polesye and enigmatic silence of the thrown villages. It is impossible not to be terrified for a huge monument of human carelessness – to "Sarcophagus". It is necessary to hear breath of Pripyat. Cities which already more than twenty years live in loneliness. Which understands us and accepts such what we are. Us going to them from all world behind beautiful kinds from a roof шестнадцатиэтажки and graffiti on its buildings, us, admirers of game «Stalker» and simply were interested and sympathizing. The city waits for us – welcoming smiling, squinting weak-sighted eye-sockets of windows, absorbs sides of houses our shadows, gropes hands of prospectuses our traces. Glance to it in soul. Experience history. Understand, that for you the word "Pripyat" means.
