aside i'm working on you getting my short thank you they left most of what they had here as they were told they were leaving only for a couple of days but none of them have ever returned or think they saw paul leaving their hometown what the fourth floor of the church. never stated by the explosion of. where we going numb the trail we need to go to previous post office genius these people. recently i received a notification to pick up a letter here in creepy hatch that's impossible the post office doesn't been working for twenty five years i don't think it's for real. show me state drange but according to the stamp this really has come from here as you know where this post office is yes i know the

ball. just such. a huge. fish and if you look at the snow all these trees that you see they've all grown since the accident and right now we're going to be passing the house where i was born. we came to the chernobyl exclusion zone to investigate a very strange story this place has been deserted for a quarter of a century but recently some people started receiving post notices telling them to

pick up letters at this post office in people that are holding one of those here and indeed the stamp here proves that it came from the ghost town he. wrinkly speaking i don't know what to look for. many of. these notices have no addresses nor names of those who had sent them. thank. you. thank you no. yet i'm going to be honestly speaking i don't think we're going to find anything here. most of the things that remains here and in the apartments were later buried we. didn't keep them because they were very radioactive.

stuff. and the rest was stolen by scavengers. so look here's a letter with someone for you to send from here. because there is a photo inside. it's lucky you. well that's what all the times i've been here i've never seen anything like this. this is the first this do cell phones work here forces used they work at a nuclear power plant and sometimes they work here a little. pry

a local lawyer who we are calling on high alert tonight. from kindergarden city we can use any excuse me who is it me calling and then your pardon i must have the wrong number. i don't get it you're. our investigation brings us to one of pleats kindergartens and this one is truly a horrifying scene most of the things one can see here have been left untouched ever since the catastrophe and the side which is probably the best description and most dramatic one of the chernobyl tragedy is that children's toys i lay literally side by side with military gas masks. i don't know about minute this is my kindergarten i used to go here.

with watchable nobody used to be many children in particular the last debate with a thoughtful specialists from all over the soviet union came here to operate the nuclear power station all the mostly young people who watched the store and they thought that they were waiting for a bright future talks with his book so this town experienced a baby boom it all doesn't like it was going to stop no one used the gas masks look out there because the catastrophe happened on a saturday but you could also if they'd been kept here and were left untouched. what was in that letter you found. so there's no photographic record there is a photograph inside. here have a look. and. it seems it was written by

a child a small girl. justly or try there has to be i was so glad having received your letter so i decided to reply to it was my mom got me a new doll she's so beautiful that i'm sometimes afraid to play with her when i go to school in the morning i put her by the window and make a best for her in the evening i love her dearly the weather has already been very warm here we'll be having a holiday soon my parents and i will go to a rally will be inflating balloons and after that there will be a concert in the house of cultural activities my sister will be dancing there even though she's small she's already a great dancer girl missing you very much please come and visit us in this country we're missing you very much but usually it's come visit us in the summer leisure industry a woman are supposed to new dimensions the first may vents in the previous house of culture and kids from this kindergarten were to perform at a concert there. when was that letter written. to push them all the date on the

envelope says it was meant to be sent a little dust off just the day before the catastrophe. that the nobody on the eve of the catastrophe many silver relations have been planned for saturday and sunday why they always schedule wedding celebrations and children's concerts for the weekend but with even when the tragedy happened we didn't call off the first of a variance to the love the children were breathing the c.e.o. as it was a hard day and the events were out in the open many people were in the parks and i know that there were weddings in the house of culture in the end we were informed that it was very serious and that we were to go home and pack up for evacuation.

may the first was one of the biggest communist holidays in the soviet union the labor day previous house of culture still has a collection of posters with soviet leader they were meant to be carried at a traditional demonstration and the stage over here was meant to become a venue for a holiday concert. others say it's not focused on look what i found it impossible it's a fireman suit. could it be that it belonged to one of those firefighters who fought the blaze at the nuclear power plant. then you have salute no question explain to me that most of them died just the water and their gear was radioactive was thrown from there it

was destroyed almost immediately afterwards. correct you know there used to be an amateur theatre here maybe it's there's the question of who to be honest i feel we're stuck with a stick and you got any ideas where we could go next. well there used to be a library here you could check out the rangers profile cards. you know this city was very beautiful work but it was meant to be kind of a role model for others. who like the best place communist society

could ever build perfectly planned and constructed a career but he was meant to be a paradise for those building communism. wait a minute i found a note inside this picture book it looks like a page from someone's diary that. is dated april twenty fifth one hundred eighty six we're preparing an experiment at the station we'll be bringing the reactor to a stop we have some heated debates and most of us are sure that we're doing everything right but still cannot construct conclusion the times it seems we're talking on different languages can both make it come from the influence of the one who was a confrontation over the word from the workers did not want to keep the unstable reactor in operation and they are preventing the flu from for permission to call into conversations and documentation that have been published already from the reactor was out of control. on the twenty fifth of april with the

employees was saying that it was faulty solution but the bosses demanded that they should finish the experiment the minute they were performing on the unstable reactor. and should in your stomach go i saw a picture and daughters are good with the babylonians our little i joke that we have now finally built it to be on the grey of the story. i'm on top of previous tallest building it is the best vantage points to see the chernobyl nuclear power plant straight after the disaster it was covered by steel lead cold the circuit underneath it are still tons of radioactive fuel and deadly levels of radiation but if you don't know that from here but it almost looks the

life. what if there are those who would go to the apartment we're looking for should be somewhere here we do you know where this drawing came from. it appears here several years ago actually i don't know the elevator shaft is open so be careful we need to go this way or your let's go. attention the new model here. i turn shannon. i knew. i'd tension on one of the new roads. the council of the town reports it was the usual saturday and it was a very warm day and we did not feel like studying. after the second lesson teachers

were called for a meeting and left us to ourselves at the time we heard that something bad had happened at the reactor. many of the children's parents worked there and they talked about what they had heard from them. from i learned that there had been a blaze at the station and several people were injured. but we could not imagine how serious it was we felt that a fire was nothing to be afraid of at school we were told that atomic energy was the safest in the world. ultimately getting. close to a kid when the tragedy happened we played outdoors with to the rooftop and saw the blaze at the station there was smoke coming out of the building from the explosion releasing levels were already extremely high. horse everyone young and old was exposed to huge radiation doses. still works.

still question she won yes there's almost nothing left here. the most when you look through your car maybe there is some information about this person there just a second yes now yes i have something. he was one of those who was supposed to be performing an experiment at the station which means that during the moment of the explosion he should have been there all of the workers who were working at the fourth block were immediately sent to a hospital as they were severely irradiated i mean from what we could go to the hospital maybe we can find something there. that is a good idea that's the limit. what about his family. i don't know. i have no information on them.

the injuries were different. but the majority of them were exposed to the fourth radiation levels. and received third or fourth degree burns. one patient died of burns. me and the others were treated at el middle facility. and then they will go to moscow sakhi a bully shows with a level of radiation bring shock disoriented and the rest.

i know the injuries are being brought here from the car floor and they are all covered in radioactive dust and the disposable we are receiving strums those disappeared too well and we're completely i'm ready for what has happened i don't believe in all this at that it just cannot be happening this is real hell. what's that what i found inside a patient record card. we need to leave what's happening we are leaving.

i. question is that so much to me is really making a lot of people a year yeah but look at twenty five years ago world was coming to grips with the catastrophe unfolding in chernobyl today the same could be said about the sheema what is the future.

if. it should make your decision quicker the radiation levels are very high here.

just about all of us but the sucky please tell me what is this cross doing there i talk on the can just say it's a protective cross you there are four of them in the ukraine most and they form a square garden in the south in the east and in the west this is the northern one. so your cell phone works yes but she has no there's no signal whatsoever. well then we're stuck. but there's a post here hold this book any of them is doing a here's a village not far from here. but of course a of on the other side of the river a few elderly couples live there to look for they might have a radio phone upgrade if not then at least we can stay overnight.

ok. as we walked through the field i saw a herd of wild horses where they come from they who they were brought here straight after the catastrophe in the ninety's and it was an experiment to see how they would survive the radiation and well they've grown into a huge population the same happened to all the other animals on the course there's no people here that's what they do. safe walking out of.

the. what is this village who lives here there's a couple of elderly people that live here but as the women they were evacuated out of the trash they won't take why they here they were so well they came back they resettled here of their own free will. hello mike but when you go i'm not hello hello they're looking for how do you live here on your own there's no transportation facilities parents working at the other provide us with the free bus to the city who was there you may want when we need something from the market it's still to be won some money because how often who are on your own how this is the

structure of the book now it's less often. the cover of this course is used by everyone in this election when they need to challenge some family you know what. it's not me who i don't know the most delicious people over there near the stove maybe. because of that because i will give you blankets and pillows and at the time i did i think it was on a blanket or something and set ourselves off the lines. but. i am.

left i still don't understand me those posts notices. you remember the old man who appeared as a cross the river. apparently he's a post man. and once a fortnight you cruises up and down the river and delivers mail and so you think he did it for. you maybe i don't know. maybe somebody else maybe it was a mistake. it's interesting with a lot as a point chemistry at first but there's such an easy solution as a. little more from researchers we have seen do you think anyone will ever come back here. i don't know what. to start congregates they've built in one thousand nine hundred six it was in temporary they said it was temporary because it would

last for twenty to thirty years now they're building a new one. this one's supposed to last one hundred years and you know it's funny when they also call it temporary means that both you and i and our children will be gone and it'll still be standing there after all the war. and haven't looked at these pictures i still don't understand why describe this town as beautiful to me it looks like an ordinary saudi town typical buildings and planning there were thousands of towns like that across the country it was beautiful because we lived here you know i've been having this feeling that you just cannot let go of all that happened here. i was if you continue fighting the zone ok now can i forgive it if you. let me just maybe try talking to the zone. it's not sending me letters in order to be well those i received were not directed to me either yes when you want to you they were not meant for you you know and you would never have

found them or read them in the first place.
