Chernobyl is not only the place of the terrible catastrophe of 1986. But it is also a very popular tourist route. For many years, the Exclusion Zone has attracted tourists.
Solomiya Vitvitskaya recalled that exactly a year ago she was in Chernobyl as an ordinary tourist. Then the presenter had a completely different feeling. Another mood. Now, during the war, when it becomes clear that the station can become the target of nuclear terrorists, everything around has an even more dangerous look. In the story, Solomiya shared her feelings:
“On the way to the Chernobyl exclusion zone, you need to drive through cities and villages that have felt for themselves what the Russian army is. It is unbearably hard to look at. Devastation, bombed houses, blown up bridges.”
At a predetermined place, Solomiya is to meet her friend from civilian life Alexei, who was the chairman of the court in one of the towns of the Sumy region – he tried to work for another week after the invasion. And when it became impossible, he went to the military registration and enlistment office.
Solomiya handed over to his company bulletproof vests, a thermal imager and other things the army team needed, acquired after the sale of the Paralympic gold medal of Sergei Yemelyanov. Aleksey and his co-workers are now digging in in the Chernobyl zone.
