Look Who I Found In The Chernobyl Zone!

🇧🇾 I had been searching the radiated forests of the Belarus Chernobyl zone for my friend Kolya but with no luck. Then I drove to the nearest village where there was one last. inhabited house. I knocked on the door and waited....

Thats the name of the famous Russian song about 60 years old. It was written as the anthem for ice hockey in USSR. But soon the phrase became useful for any situation that requires some extra fitness, strength and wit. It now means "you can't back down if you're going at smth big".

From Kolya’s perspective what a strange thing this must all be. A bald Englishman shows up randomly from time to time lavishing him with gifts and money. We should all be so lucky to have a KZbinr come to our house.

SNBoomer it would be great if Ben set up a P.O Box and asked us, all of Kolya’s friends to send him a picture postcard of where we live. Then he could deliver them the next time he visits. Kolya wouldnt be able to read any messages but he could have beautiful pictures to look at from around the world that would brighten up his home and he would know that for each postcard, at least one person has been affected by him. I think Kolya would like to see other places besides Belarus. I hope Ben sees this.

[@456eec]

Kolya has advanced Parkinsons Disease and the leg pain is likely associated with this. There are medications avialable which can markedly reduce the symptoms of PD. Perhaps organising treatment by a specialist in the city may be possible by crowd funding and this would likely both improve and lengthen his life.

[@gerry9011]

This is actually kinda heart-melting hearing Kolya getting ecstatic to see his friend.

When Kolya saw Ben at the door, that was a display of such a raw, unscripted emotion. That man may not have too many material items in his life, but clearly he holds dear the truest and most important things in life, and most prominently being love. Kolya clearly loves Ben, and I'm sure his other friends as well. I am always so happy to see this man, though I am sure he will never know or see me in return. Always wishing the best to him, and his simple life.

Guilherme Campolina SOLAR LAMP!!! It charges from daylight...no electricity bill required. I remember a few years ago, in my car I had an emergency torch which worked by winding it up. There was even a wind up radio invented by a chap, but I agree, a solar panel is easy enough but if Ben hasn’t got the knowledge to do it, it could be a pain. We had a solar panel on our old van to keep the leisure batteries charged up but now it’s on my grow shed where it provides heat and light for my CBD plants. I have a strain called Medxotic for my fibromyalgia. They’d benefit Kolya too
