1986 was a dark year not only for Ukraine and the Soviet Union. This year got dark for the whole world. It was on April 26, 1986, when an appalling accident occurred at the fourth power unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which became the largest disaster in the history of nuclear energy. Then the world did not immediately grasp all the danger that this tragic meltdown…

Not immediately, but people left these places. The nuclear station has a lot of ghostly buildings and abandoned places… all of this is overgrown with grass. People left; nature came. There are only human shadows that peep out of the empty windows in mute horror. This is what people left behind.

Human negligence struck with a heavy thunder. The radiation fell into the ground like rain and bit into metal structures. Parks, squares are entwined with vines. The animals returned to the city. But when we look at the future…We can believe that someday in many years, places such as the Chernobyl exclusion zone will be able to revive like the mythological Phoenix bird from radioactive ashes to become habitable and populated again.

I personally believe in this. Everything is reborn and comes back to normal. Even after such a dark day for all of humanity. All the victims of the rescuers were not in vain.
