Below are photographs of Pripyat, a famous ghost town near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, taken in 2009.
Construction of the fifth and the sixth reactors has been frozen for ever.
Reactors number three and four.
The view of the city recreation center Energetic as seen from the roof of Polesye Hotel.
A square in front of the recreation center.
This district is one of the most polluted districts in Pripyat.
This ferris wheel was not meant to ever be launched.
Street art.
“Health of the people is the country’s priority!”
Elevator shafts in Polesye Hotel.
It’s now dangerous walking in the recreation center. Its stage is rotting away and you can fall through it.
It was prestige to live in
Pripyat because it was a new developing city with mild climate, it was
situated close to Kiev and Moscow so people from different parts of the
country would move here. That’s why the number of schools built here in
Pripyat increased extremely fast here… to one day become abandoned.
“Hello former pupils of School #2!” “4 A, always in my heart!” “4 B! Will be glad to hear a call from you!”
In the library.
Pupils would hang out here in the lobby during the break.
A first grader’s exercise book.
Lenin’s pictures.

This school is well-preserved, unlike the rest buildings of the city.
Why is everything on the floor? Was someone in haste wanting to find something?
“We are for peace! We don’t want a war!”
Wishes which will never come true… broken dreams… broken world.
A classroom.
Pioneers’ stand.
This picture devoted to Soviet cosmonautics looks just like new.
In this classroom they would hold literature lessons.
A sixth grader’s assignment book.
In this classroom they used to hold physics lessons.
