About Us

The public project PRIPYAT.com established in 2004 as an unofficial website of the city of Pripyat. It was assumed that the site will become a monument to the lost city and a center of communication of Pripyat residents, scattered throughout the world. However, the project has grown and developed. So, eventually, to the initial were added new priorities. Nowadays PRIPYAT.com became an unofficial website not only of the city of Pripyat, but the entire 30-kilometer Zone of Alienation. Here you can learn everything about the Chernobyl accident and the reasons for the liquidation of its consequences on the status of the zone and present life of its inhabitants. The Chernobyl zone - not just a place of the hardest accident. This - an ancient and eternally beautiful Polissya land. This is - a monument to a bygone Soviet era. This is - the unique nature reserve, where people come to replace the previously endangered species of flora and fauna.
