Chernobyl. Post-Apocalyptic World

On April 26, 1986, at 01:23, an explosion occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the city of Pripyat, which destroyed the fourth reactor. It led to radioactive contamination of vast territories. The disaster caused irreparable harm to the ecology, destroyed the lives of thousands of people, and forever changed millions of fates. The residents of Pripyat and nearby villages were evacuated. Many believe that the Chernobyl exclusion zone is a dead territory now. This is not true. In the exclusion zone, year 38 is boiling with its post-accident life, where its own laws and rules operate. I managed to visit there and touch history. And most importantly – to see with my own eyes what is happening there. The clocks on the wall of the reactor show 1:23 yesterday, today, and tomorrow. And if it were possible to turn back time and change something, surely it would be changed. But the clocks have stopped, and time and people cannot be returned. There is only one thing left – to remember. My name is Dmitry. Since 2011, I have been interested in industrial tourism and exploring places abandoned by humans. The book presents my photographs taken in different corners of the Chernobyl zone. Photographs of a unique post-apocalyptic world that continues to exist and amaze with its mystery.
