Eighteen year old I was unspeakably happy - I was going to Pripyat. City legend, the city atomic scientists. With me riding one of his grandfather - Stanislav Pavlochenko. And now, I was looking out the window, and Stanislav peacefully read a newspaper, wearing on his nose glasses. My mother and grandmother live together. With us I lived my grandfather, but he died before the age of my twenty years. It is my grandfather - Kalievich Bulat told me about this place. Rather, he first told me about nuclear energy. My grandfather was a physicist, and well versed in it. It is a pity that I did not get his brains. It all started when I asked about the structure and operation of nuclear power plants. He told me a long time, and then raised the issue of Chernobyl. But her grandfather told his colleague Nikolay Yurevich.Which by happy coincidence, left the city with his family just three weeks before the accident. This was due to the expiration of his watch. Upon learning of the accident at the nuclear power plant, Nikolai Yurievich only crossed himself and thanked God that he did not watch extended for another year. I live in Almaty, as well as my grandfather. Grandpa offered me to go there, and send with me his colleague - Stanislaus Pavlochenko. The old man gladly accepted and now the two of them went to the Atomic City. The first part of the road, I was listening to Stanislaw:
While van winds through overgrown road, we passed the the PPC Dityatki and drove on. I listened to the guide with interest, asked about the city, about the accident, and looked even in hands a compact portable dosimeter. And here, the guide alerted about the arrival of in Chernobyl Zone of Alienation - CEZ,soon we will arrive to Pripyat. I literally "stuck" to the window. I just sat in the right lane, and here was great sight. Soon the van drove on overgrown road, and I was very surprised to learn that we are going along the main avenue of Lenin.
Tourists are allowed to walk around the area and see everything. But by a signal of the pager they must return to the machine. I stepped in front of the hotel "Energetic". Suddenly I saw a couple of foxes. Cubs were playing without noticing the people and their mom came up to me. Smiling, I handed her my sandwiches. To my surprise, she started to eat the sausage, and bread she put slice on slice to make one huge sandwich.
I thought that no animal in the zone, but now it was clear, nature took her place. And that red-haired treasure i saw.
