CHERNOBYL, Take 2! - Back through my archive!...
☢️ L A D A ☢️
After we passed the first military checkpoint, we were to stay inside the exclusion zone until we had finished our 3 tour.
Our first stop just inside the zone, was an abandoned village called Zalissia. Abandoned even though it's slightly further from the blast (almost 30km) than the town of Chernobyl which is still home to a few hundred people - and where we stayed.
Zalissia was very over-grown. Main roads are now no more than footpaths and trees obscure buildings.
Several cars can have been abandoned there - stripped for parts, presumably by looters.
Here's an old Lada - once a favourite in eastern Europe. In fact we saw a few pootling around the city of Kiev where we spent a couple of days after leaving the exclusion zone.
