Prypjat, an abandoned city near the Chernobyl disaster site, 1990

Headline:

Prypjat, an abandoned city near the Chernobyl disaster site, 1990

Image text:

Central square of the city of Pripyat, the nearest city to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was not until 36 hours after the reactor accident that the city was evacuated, leaving the residents believing that they could return home soon. Today, the ghost town lies in the middle of the 30 km uninhabitable zone around the reactor.
