Tourists in Chernobyl
Categories: Travel
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/tourists-in-chernobyl.htmlPeople are always equally attracted to two opposite things: beauty and ugliness. Therefore, there will be a lot of tourists both in the amazing reserve and at the site of the brutal execution. The tragedy in Chernobyl occurred 28 years ago, and for more than two decades the area around the ill-fated nuclear power plant was empty ... but the ubiquitous tourists got here, and now their profiles are full of photos against the backdrop of abandoned factories, schools and houses, and they themselves boast that they visited " ghost town."

1. After the famous tragedy in 1986, Pripyat turned into an abandoned city. Now it is open to tourists. Among the main attractions are old dolls against the backdrop of frightening "decorations". (Gerd Ludwig)
2. This amusement park was supposed to open on May 1 - five days after the explosion.
3. Tourists, some of whom lived near the nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan, placed Geiger counters on the monument. The reactor will be closed with a new arch of 32,000 tons.
4. Scattered on the ground, gas masks create an odd "point of interest", although it works, given that tourists like to be photographed next to them in their own gas masks.
5. Marauders and rescuers took everything that could be useful, nature took the rest. The doll next to the children's slide is all that remains of the people who once lived here.
6. Tourists are gradually changing this place - for example, they create strangely creepy "installations" from children's toys ...
7. ... or Lenin's dolls and drawings.
8. Dolls generally fit surprisingly well into this creepy atmosphere.
9. And there are a lot of children's toys here ...
10. It was once a model Soviet city of almost 50,000 inhabitants, but now Pripyat is fading. Only about 200 people live in the exclusion zone.
11. Students from Finland in helmets, covered with foil, have fun in front of a camera lens on an abandoned playground with children's cars.
