As a free pass to the Chernobyl zone (24 photos)

As you probably know, to go on a trip to the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation,
you need to either pay for the tour 130 $ (1,040 hryvnia, 4000 Russian rubles) or with a good friend,
working there, you ask for a "Pass».

But there is a third way to free and legally ride on Chernobyl and Pripyat.

In Chernobyl and Pripyat is worth visiting at least once.
Most have seen beautiful photo reports of abandoned villages, abandoned Pripyat.




And I'll tell you where to go and what to see.



For a start I will say that the effects of radiation are not fully understood.
And though formally at Chernobyl radiation is higher than in Kiev,
the responsibility for health is only in each of us.



Option two. One runs only twice a year, the second year round.

The first option (tested by me).
26 April and 9 May each year Manual "Chernobyl Exclusion Zone" allows entry into the zone on the so-called "Funeral».
That is formally former residents and their descendants can go to the graves of their relatives. They should miss no problem.
Well, Excellent! Pretend descendants.



Take the car and go, not forgetting to take with him a passport.
From Kiev to Chernobyl on the road about 150 kilometers.
We go through Toompea and Dimer in Ivankovo, wrap him in the direction of Chernobyl (to be on the index).



After Ivankovo ​​road already directly leads us into a "zone».



We drive to the first checkpoint "Dityatki».



There is an important caveat!
Those who come in the morning, usually have problems with travel.
We arrived around noon - had already passed all.

In the car, we had only juveniles - for 20-23 years. Police is not confused.
Ask to whom and where to go.
We have bought two cheap plastic flower (supposedly the grave).
Made a serious face, "On Semihodskoe cemetery going, Elena Larina.».
Asked the passport - showed that all adults.
Write out a pass - and the way is clear!





Agree, not every Ukrainian city can boast of such purity and pribrannostyu as Chernobyl!)))





Nearby is the alley in memory of the villages and towns that have disappeared from the Earth.







From her left - abandoned houses and homes in which they live are those who, for whatever reason, refused to leave the area.





Time stood still in 1986.







From Chernobyl go to Pripyat.
Surely you've seen a lot of these pictures, so I will not specifically burden you.



Dosimeter. Just meters from the road.



Ride on the main road is normal. Go deep into - it is dangerous.







The second method.
I have to say, have not tried it, I write only theoretical reasoning.

Of Slavutych can be reached by train in Pripyat, and back on it and leave the same.
Since being in the "zone of alienation" without a permit entails administrative responsibility,
you can buy a return ticket on the same train, so as not to go with it.
Plus: You can take a picture of a well-Chernobyl Sarcophagus, Unit 4, neighborhood.
Less: Actually more special and you will not see, you can not go to Pripyat.
