Street Art in Chernobyl, by stillborncrisps on Jul 11, 2008 18:32:52 GMT 1, Just found this on Flickr.
Chernobyl 20 years on (2006) - around the plant there's still a 20 mile exclusion zone containing abandoned villages, houses, a fairground and (a tad unsettling) a school.
Some guys from Germany and Belarus have snook into this radioactive zone and painted figures to represent/commemorate the missing population.
Unfortunately there's only two pics of this graf, but check out the guy's whole set - it's quite moving, especially the one of the decayed empty classroom still with books on the shelves: flickr.com/photos/blinkofaneye/sets/72157594405760392/

Street Art in Chernobyl, by craigf on Jul 12, 2008 20:57:23 GMT 1, Cernobyl is only about 50km north of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine so is the equivelent of maybe Luton for us in the UK (actually the similarities are significant ). I have been to Kiev a number of times, the Ukranians are really great ppl, and they still suffer greatly from the fallout. Many children have grown up with deformaties and tumours.
Will go have a look at the site now ;D
