I’d like to dedicate this work to liquidators, who sacrificed their life to save us. They are among the bravest of the world. They are heroes.
I’m very grateful to deviantART community for respecting the tragedy of my nation. Thanks to dA, people around the globe remember about the 26th of April. History of Chernobyl cannot be forgotten. Tragedy of millions should become the example for billions. I’m personally thankful to everyone who has visited this page and especially grateful to =otsego-amigo and ^PorcelainPoet.

In memory of the Chernobyl disaster which occurred April 26th, 1986 I am featuring Take a seat by ~Brute-ua. Guided Tours inside the deserted areas of Pripyat, Ukraine now allow people to experience the eerie desolation and emptiness of a place that was once home to around 50,000 people prior to the nuclear accident. ~Brute-ua captured a tragic and important part of history with this thought provoking and profound photograph.

This is so insanely beautiful. I love photographs of Chernobyl. The time you took the photograph is perfect for the feeling you get from the image. Great choice using the bench. Amazing color scheme for the dreariness. Beautiful, amazing, perfect, favorited.

Wow. So this is definitely the most impressive photo I see recently. The composition is well-balanced and I really love colors and atmosphere of this picture. The only bad thing I see - I think it's a little bit blurred. But it doesn't matter, because it's really awesome work.
