[@chrisoliver4757]

Thankyou, I remember when that happened, I was 14, I remember thinking that the men who tried to cool it down after the explosion deserved posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union. It looks like it was a lovely place to live, such a shame.

[@alexanderprelesnik2963]

There were people who dived down and opened hatches, they died shorly after

[@Miskin432]

I want to go there so bad. I would choose fall or late winter with trees being leafless. It would add the "creepiness" of this lonely town. But it sooo far away from my hometown here in Czech Republic. I guess it would take several days to get there and also get back to home. But it would be worth the athmosphere. I just like "lonely" and abandoned places like this. :)

[@philinator71]

+Mishkin You're only around one thousand km away from Pripyat. Which is about 2 days drive or a 1 hr 55 min flight to Kiev. That's' nothing compared to me.

It must have been a poignant and melancholic experience to walk around a silent city that used to be so full of life. I'm a huge fan of Russian design so I loved seeing the mosaic at the entrance to the Music School. Thank you for a wonderful tour, bionerd23.

You kept a directional perspective that was very helpful, went to the places I really wanted to see and showed me the things I wanted to have a more in-depth look at that other videos lacked.

[@ellieavenelle8145]

Thank you for taking the time and risk to give us a video tour of Pripyat. I've heard the term "ghost town" a million times, but have never seen a real one....until now. I can't believe the complete and utter quiet in the town. There are no sounds other than an occasional bird. What a horrible shame. Russia can not deny the damage that was done here!

[@Mde7FPV]

I totally love your videos. Great channel. So glad I found it. You're a very likable person.

[@Statimtek]

Very interesting video. I have seen many videos of Pripyat but with no explanation of what I was looking at, so this gave me a whole new dimension this place. Cheers.

[@JasuTheSnipe]

That music school was so epic, because in Stalker Call of Pripyat they made an exact replica of the building. The auditorium even has the damn piano in it.

[@xXXJimboSliceXXx]

the hand-colored map of Pripyat at the beginning was so freaking adorable and ironically juxtapose to the whole ghost town and deadly radiation that I had to loled

[@puggster]

Great tour, very informative, I learned about Pripyat when i was a kid at school, I've always had a fascination with old abandoned places, Pripyat would be my first place to ever visit, I hope to go there one day, Its a long way from Scotland But one day i wish to visit, it would have been a incredible utopia like city by now if this unfortunate disaster did not occur, Very sad for those who lost there lives in the fight to contain the radiation.

Thank for a fresh look at Pripyat. My morbid curiosity keeps me interested in its fate. Quite a long journey from NC USA for a pretty short visit to this enigma. Not likely I would visit there as I would rather see St. Basils for example if I make it to former CCCP.

[@asdzx1757]

what do you mean when you say the stalkers painted the emblem recently? who are the stalkers? from what i know of the term stalker is either someone that follows you, or a videogame reference of people that go into "the zone" and search for stuff to bring back home and sell for lots of money. and seeing as you're not being followed and this clearly isn't a video game i don't really understand.

[@bionerd23]

William Rost "stalkers" are people who illegally trespass into the "zone" without having permission. sometimes they just randomly stay there. sometimes they litter, which i despise. sometimes they do some cool stuff - like repainting the logo.

[@asdzx1757]

bionerd23 thanks for the reply. now i know

[@bionerd23]

+Snafu The Sniper it's a term used in a soviet book, "roadside picnic" (Strugatzki). the book was written way before the Chernobyl accident. the game is based on that book and the real life Chernobyl exclusion zone. the russian term "сталкер" describes "a bold and knowledgeable person who goes to dangerous places, often leading others".
