Chernobyl Ghost Town: a Trip to Pripyat
Friday, July 08, 2016 Sightseeing and Landmarks by admin
The quiet town of Pripyat – a Ukrainian town that will never be the same again.
On April 24th, 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant took lives of hundreds of people and became one of the most dramatic events of the 20th century.
The accident that happened that day at the plant in Ukraine (which was part of the USSR at that time) left an enormous trace on the Earth’s ecological state and people’s health.
The tragedy resulted in the biggest radioactivity release in the human history.

In the previous post I showed you the cool things I have done in Saint Petersburg until my visit to the Hermitage museum. Today I will show you what happened next (and it was great!).
Maybe you don’t know, but I’m a big football fan. Living in Estonia, where there are no big clubs qualifying for the Champions League, the closest city with such a team is Saint Petersburg, more specifically Zenit St.Petersburg. So that trip was a great chance for me to watch a major football match after a long while.
