It is easy to walk in the night coolness. We walked under the waning moon through the dense summer air, which was infused with the aromas of ferine grass.
If you wanna retry my experience and spend up to 6 days in the zone (not 2-3 hours like with a bus excursion) and feel the entire atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic world without people under the guidance of an experienced stalker-guide, mail to and we will try to organize a hike. They have their routes, argie-bargies, a special atmosphere and subculture. They gear abandoned apartments to their needs and move mainly at night. There are constantly several groups of illegal residents in Pripyat. I knew that there is a large stalker community at the Chernobyl exclusion zone. One can only see it against the starry sky illegally. The former residents look back to their city with bitter melancholy, militiamen and frontier guards routinely work, foreign tourists run up from time to time for a few hours up to the ears in respirators and dosimeters… However, what is the Chernobyl zone in the eyes of a stalker?įerris wheel in the centre of Pripyat. The radioactive burial grounds of the equipment have covered with thick underwood, and on the main square of Pripyat you can meet only a flock of wild wolves and visitant stalkers – fans of the post-apocalyptic uninhabited world. The wind whistles among the apartments plundered by the marauders.
Strange to say how quickly nature sweeps away the man traces. All these people had died within the first two weeks after the accident, and later tens of thousands sacrificed their health saving our world from death.Īlmost 30 years have passed.
We visited many strange places, the very existence of which weaves the threads of the past terrible catastrophe and human heroism with today’s reality, creating an atmosphere that can only be experienced there… It’s on the night roof of the abandoned Pripyat city or at the steps of the 126 th medical unit basement where the clothes of those firemen who were the first to fight the burning reactor are stored. We travelled more than a hundred kilometres through the night forests, through abandoned cities and villages under this incredible space abyss. Living in the twilight of the city, people forgot how to look at the stars, but when one looks at them, he can realize himself being the part of these distant worlds. Thereby many a man haven’t ever seen the complete darkness nor the Milky Way. How far have you peered at the night sky? Have you ever looked at it… at all? Electric lights nowadays shine much brighter than the stars.
