Pripyat 10 years after Nuclear Disaster 11.10.1996 Chernobyl 30 km radioactive zone Stock Footage

[e-mail] stock footage PAL Tape-E24, Pripyat 10 years after part-1, CHERNOBYL “DEAD ZONE” filmed on 11.10.1996 (October 11, 1996) 10:34 sign of Cernobyl
The Zone is a radioactive area centered on Chernobyl and Pripyat of some 1,000 square miles from which 135,000 people were evacuated in 1986-87. Since then, several hundred of the older generation have slowly returned to their homes in the Zone and, despite the radioactivity, some have lived there for up to five years. The old people say that can't see, taste, smell or touch the invisible deadly radiation so it doesn't bother them.
People come back to abandoned villages around 11.10.1996 to populate their homes. Do they afraid of radiation, why do they come back? They tell our crew their life stories. Views of farmers, people gardening, a well with drinking water, fields, and houses in a “dead zone” etc…
Our camera crew travelled to Chernobyl 30 km zone, known as the “dead zone”. Moving images from the car window. Views of the abandoned city: concrete buildings with windows broken and Soviet symbols on them.
Views of abandoned towns, interviews with villagers.

this is so amazing to see the city in 1996! it's very rare footage that should be archived in museum or something... thanks for sharing with us!

many thanks from tvdata.tv team

Had it not been for the high radiation levels, the city could’ve probably been saved back then.

В своё время это был абсолютно новый город: без хибар, лачуг, бараков, узких, тесных улочек и так далее. Вместо этого широкие, просторные улицы и современные комфортные дома (за исключением общежитий, конечно😅). В общем, идеально для жизни. Но, всего этого уже не вернёшь...

[@corehazard1719]

Same here. It is pretty with the murals and otherwise not much different from any the architecture of most other European countries; save for the exception of places of worship. With religion being on a decline, many churches are being converted into a secular buildings of various types.

It was always strange to me that Chernobyl continued to operate for years after the accident yet the town that was a little bit away had to be abandoned. You would’ve thought the rest of Chernobyl would be abandoned yet people still went to work there every day to operate the reactors after the accident.

[@2020sII]

I may be wrong but i think they had too or something would happen

Thank u for the video, interesting footage

[@johnrauner2515]

By now all the copper had gone. What you don't see is none of these buildings have any water heaters left. Even the industrial systems in places like the hospital, council building and the schools had been stripped. All the heavy duty copper cable had also been taken and most of the lighter stuff would go over the following decade. That's what you get for security guards being paid to look the other way by the scrap dealers. Or, in the case of tourism of the zone, the tourist operators who run all the underground tourist trips in there.

Pripyat was the most beautiful city in northern Ukraine in the Soviet era. The streets and all public real estate in the city were under constant care by the city authorities. But after the accident at the Chernobyl plant in 1986, the city collapsed and was abandoned, and in the 1990s since the end of the USSR, the city was looted by outsiders and in 2022 the city was already absorbed by trees all around.

I went there for the first time in 2008. Everything had already been plundered to zero, even the wiring from the buildings. Workers say that even in the Soviet era, before the collapse of the union, the military raked out everything of value. They broke doors and literally robbed apartments, and then plundered all institutions. All that was left was phonite and all sorts of objects that had no value for the surroundings. In fact, in 1991 there was nothing in Pripyat, everything was stolen by the “valiant” Soviet army. The Russian army did the same in 2022 when they captured the exclusion zone. Everything was robbed. Just ordinary marauders

[@tmonkey3323]

weren't those persons inside the checkpoint exposed to radiations all day?

[@asscrusher]

радіація не пахне і не має запаху. блокпост був багато разів помитий. тож думаю саме в цьому місці не було смертельного випромінювання. хоча сам фон досить високий. радіація шкодить поступово. якщо людина має гарне здоров'я то може не відчувати явного впливу від радіації до самого кінця
