RE: Ukraine: My Chernobyl Diary

in #travel6 years ago

@winstonalden A time capsule is exactly what it is, the whole area has been very well preserved. Honestly I'm not sure if there is anywhere else on the planet quite comparable, the only place that comes to mind is Hiroshima, Japan but it is nothing like what you will see in Chernobyl, Ukraine. Truly unique place

Sort:  

I think it's doubly interesting because of the communist regime that was in place at the time of the disaster. The world that was preserved is so different than anything that exists today.

Looking at pictures of Fukushima (I think you meant that, not Hiroshima, right?) isn't quite the same because the culture that was brought to a halt there isn't different from how we live now.
