PRIPYAT ghost town (1970-1986) -MY CHERNOBYL RIDES
'beginning of a story about town where one can ride fast, with no stoplights, no police, no danger to hit some cage or some dog.. '
From the page:
"People had to leave everything, from photos of their grandparents to cars. Their clothes, cash and passports has been changed by state authorities. This is incredible, people lived, had homes, country houses, garages, motorcyles, cars, money, friends and relatives, people had their life, each in own niche and then in a matter of hours this world fall in pieces and everything goes to dogs and after few hours trip with some army vehicle one stands under some shower, washing away radiation and then step in a new life, naked with no home, no friends, no money, no past and with very doubtful future. "
This is a most impressive photo story from a Russian Girl who tells about how she rides through the ghosttowns surrounding the Chernobyl disaster area. She says it's safe to ride the middle of the asphalt, the sides of the asphalt have twice as high radiation levels.
