The Village: Chernobyl Exclusion Zone pt. V

In this last part of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone we visit a village, one of the 120 evacuated settlements, about 15 Km Northwest from Pripyat located near the Ivankivs’kyi district. Despite its close distance with the major city of the Exclusion Zone, it takes more than one hour to get there from Pripyat due to poor road conditions. Giant trees have taken over the asphalt making the access more difficult and therefore less explored nowadays. This village differs from the others visited (i.e. Zhalyssia and Kopachi) in the sense it is much more preserved and with more of the original belongings of those who had to run away after the disaster. This is the last part of the trip but far from being the least emotional.
