Do you know anything about Chernobil? Brifly, it is a small town in Ukrain where on 26 apil 1986 was the worst nuclear power plant accindent in history. Place was totally abandoned and closed, but several years ago the radiation level there fell down so it was possible to visit that place. You can say i was crazy but i decided to go there and besides to visit Kiev, that i'd never been to) Also weather there was way better than in Moscow, so here were the reasons why i went to Ukrain)
You know, in Russian we dont consider Ukrain as an independent country,for us it is more or less lost part of Russia: they speek russian, they look like us, everything there looks the same =) But i really wanted to visit Kiev, because actually that city was the first russian capital (funny, right?). But when i came there i had strong feeling that i cameto some old russian city: all the same ortodox churches, the same monuments, the same soviet-style buildings. Nice, even beautiful in some points, but definitely not for me, i prefer crazy italian places, you know XD Buuut, there was something i loved - they had very unstabelpolitic situation andpeople there were protestings all the time, but the funny thing was that they used soviet (!) songs in their protests XD
But then i went to Chernobil, and, guys, that place blowed my mind. Totally goast city, i had feeling there like people just disappered at one moment and left everything there (well, more or less it was so). It was like a screenshort of Apocalypse movie, when nature was destroying all footsteps of humanbeings step by step (it look like NYC in "I Am Legend" only without lions). I was shoked by that place. There you can see how humans are destroying themselfs. It is hard to describe feeling that i had there ...
But but but, it was time tocome back to my real life, to my university, and to my friends, so i stayed in Kiev only two more days and on monday morning was home already read to face wet moscowfall =)
