  Trip to Pripyat - April 12, 2009 (Sunday)
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.

  A common land. About the trip to the Chernobyl zone September 19-20, 2008
Look at it – it is just a common land. The sun shines the same way; everything looks like # # # years ago. Pop ...would have looked at it and could notice anything extraordinary, the only demand would be why the plant does not fume, strikes, or what? Yellow rock cones, cowpers reflected in the sun, rails, rails, rails, the rails. There is a small engine with platforms on the tracks ... Industrial landscape, in a word. There are no people. Neither living nor dead ...

  Do Not Break The Nucleus
Twenty three years ago, in the early hours of 26th April, 1986 (precisely at 01.24 a.m.), the world witnessed one of its worst nuclear disasters. Reactor number 4 of Chernobyl power station, situated near Pripyat in Ukraine , exploded. Two explosions blew off the dome shaped roof of the reactor, causing its contents to erupt out. As air was sucked into the shattered reactor, it ignited the flammable carbon monoxide, resulting in a fire that raged for nine days. As the reactor was not housed in a reinforced concrete shield, large amounts of debris escaped in the atmosphere.

  Chernobyl: 23 years later
Twenty-three years ago on April 26, 1986 at 1:23 in the morning, the number four reactor at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl suffered an unstoppable chain reaction, causing the worst man-made disaster in history. During a low-power test, uranium fuel in the reactor overheated, and melted through protective barriers causing first an explosion which blew open the reactor, then allowed radioactive elements such as plutonium, iodine, strontium, and cesium to spread across Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and parts of western Europe.

  Chernobyl tourists witness and remember
It looks like a baby monitor, but the device that tour guide Dennis Zaburin holds in his hand monitors radiation. The digits on the dosimeter’s display change rapidly, indicating rising and falling danger. Other than its beeps, our footsteps are the only sounds we hear, multiplied as they echo off the surrounding abandoned buildings.

City
Something about the town ...
  Chronicles mention the locality of Strezhev as Chernobyl as far back as 1193: “Prince Rostislav of Vyshgorod and Turov, son of the great Kiev prince Rurik (who reigned from 1180 to 1195), was bound with his take from Chernobyl to Troicisky.”

Site pripyat.com administration asks to do what you can to help in important project realization. (creating of documentary film about Pripyat)
At the present time we are working on creating of documentary film about Pripyat. We have to complete this film in the nearest time, before the January, 2007. If we will be in time, this film will be presented at International Conference at Lyon. For the present time it will be the only chance to put world community attention at the initiative to create Town-Museum.   For our cost we have purchased all the equipment that is required for the filming, started to work on scenery and create musical themes for film. Well-known producer had already offered his help. We have all the necessary materials for the film.

We have to continue our work, but right now we have faced with a problem that we cannot resolve (anyway, for the present time) – our financial sources exhausted.

The trip will intellectually equip, practically train and psychologically empower you to successfully survive contemporary contamination accidents, especially radiation ones, or/and mitigate and study them. For the first time ever, the trip makes public a successful professional and personal experience of Chernobyl victors – the radiation reconnaissance men, and combines it with the front-line knowledge of many diverse sciences, relevant to Chernobyl.

A Voice from Dead Pripyat
In her poems Lyuba entrusts her soul to other people. She believes that people will carry on this burden and help her, as she herself is ready to help everyone who lives on earth. The source of her faith is a crystal-clear spring of love, friendship, comradeship, mutual understanding, which penetrates her lyrics from the beginning to the end.
