Ghost Town Pripyat

Pripyat's Town Guard

This is the town guard's residence.




At first glance, Ghost Town Pripyat seems like a normal town. There is a taxi stop, a grocery store, someone's wash hangs from the balcony, and windows are open. But then I see a slogan on a building that says "The Party of Lenin Will Lead Us To The Triumph Of Communism"...and I realize that those windows were opened to the spring air of April, 1986.




Many places are either not structurally safe or have collected pockets of intense radiation. There are places where no one dares to go. One such place is the Red Wood forest and another is the Ghost Town (Pripyat) Cemetery. The relatives of the deceased buried there cannot visit because in addition to the deceased, much of the radioactive graphite nuclear core is buried there as well. It is one of the most toxic places on earth.
