In Kiev we took a bus and we had one stop near the last information board. With each kilometre covered, the surroundings were getting more and more deserted. There was so many uninhabited buildings, farms, etc.

The entry to the closed zone is possible only if you have permition. The army keep an eye on this area. On our way there were some checkpoints.

And finally we're in Prypeć (Prypiat). That's the proper destination of our journey. This city has uniquely short history. It's named after the nearby river. This modern, lively city was settled in 1970. When the nuclear power station was being built the Prypeć city didn't exist yet, and that's why the power station was named Charnobyl after a small village situated few kilometeres away.

Here we are going along the main alley. Roads are in quite poor condition.

Dead city. But the Lenin's party still alive, still strong.

The central shop in the city was closed.

The shopping was not successful. A glance at the highest building in the city, from which I was taking the photos later.
