[@matty6848]

@@Cheezy_Bunz agreed 100%. Just saying those people become acclimatised to the conditions they live in. What we would think is cold and harsh, to them is normal. Remember in the west and more developed parts of Russia and Ukraine were really pampered with 24/7 electricity, heating, air conditioning, ultra soft beds and clean linen and clothes everyday. I’ve been to many ex Soviet nations through work, and the older generation are made of tougher stuff than us. Even the Polish who had their nation raided so many times, remain tough, strong people. They build everything themselves their own homes, repair their own trucks and cars that includes electrics, plumbing irrigation and sewage works, amazing to watch them work. In a apocalypse they would outlive us in a heartbeat, they are the most resourceful people you’ll ever come across. If there’s one good thing that came out of communism it was to teach people how to be resourceful. They can happily survive on food scraps we Chuck out as garbage. No part of the animal goes to waste, tongue, brain, hoof’s you name it sir, they’ll make something of it, big pot of Goulash that’ll last a week and kept cold storage outside in the snow. Anyone who can survive minus 40/50 Celsius with no central heating other than a stove that they cook and sleep on gets my respect.

I don't like it but if it's going to ruin or burned, let folks enjoy it. I don't know if funds can be raised via online, GO FUND ME is possible to save this history or not.

What was the significance of the Igor pointing out the mile markers?

This is amazing content! It is interesting that there are people living in Chernobyl exclusion zone in Belarus. Deep in forests.

She is leaving at a paradise , away from all the craziness.

[@fastgurrrl]

Exactly. I think that whole thing was a mind job, just like this mind virus.

Just to let you know, this isn’t the last resident. There are a few hidden villages within Chernobyl that hold a few people in each village.

Apparently more than a few of the older generation snuck back to their farms. I couldn't begin to imagine how hard it must have been for the oldest residents to face forced relocation. Got to admit I would love to visit the Exclusion Zone myself. It would be fascinating to speak with the rare resident still there.

I have so many questions. If she's been there alone for 30+ years, where did she get the cat and dog? Were they strays, or did someone bring them to her? Perhaps the military checkpoint men? Does she grow wheat to make the bread? Who fixes the downed power lines? I can't imagine a utility company would bother to keep fixing them in an abandoned area.

they have to fix it as the powerplant needs energy
