I visited Ukraine for the first time in five years and the country seemed to have changed quite a bit. One can still see the Soviet past of the country but at the same time it seems to have become more western. We also had a bit of extra time on our hands and decided to visit Pripyat with Inna and her brother Igor.
The People's Friendship Arch had received a "crack" because of the war with Russia.
Pripyat is a ghost town that was abandoned in 1986 because of the devastating nuclear disaster that happened there. It's a place with short but rich history and a place that is definitely thought-provoking and will probably take one on an emotional roller coaster during and even after the visit. I created a photo book story about our visit. I hope you enjoy it!
This café in Pripyat is only a shadow of its former glory.
