Pripyat, Black and White

Here is a darkly beautiful set of photographs taken in Chernobyl, Ukraine, the sight of the worst nuclear power plant disaster in history.
As these relics have barely been touched in the 23 years since the accident, they provide a rare glimpse of original USSR architecture and artifacts.

are those people’s shadows burned into the wall, or graffitti?
Chris, did your parents have any children that lived? It was a meltdown, not a nuclear detonation. Whatever, you’re probably some croat retard anyway.
And can one of you dirty slavs translate some of the cyrillic gibberish in those pictures? They look like they were taken by a lobster-limbed chernobyl child victim.
It says - Go Blow Yourself Dickhead!
1st picture (with newspaper): “January 11th 1986. Sport. Where the mastery is being created?”
Photo with inscription (after a photo with classroom) “Hello, former 2nd comprehensive school students! I had been taught in 4th form by the accident. Regards, Luchinskiy N. M. Call me, I will be glad to hear you”
An opened book: “…on the Ukrainian Soviet Socialistic Republic”
A door: “It’s our house and we thould take care of it” and lower: “Private entrance”
Hey Heywood, I am one of these dirty slavs, and certainly can translate some emotional and humanly handwritings which could be seen on the pictures, but afraid this translation - even in plain English words - might happen to be incomprehensible for so brightly educated baboon like you
Heywood, I am only only woman and half “dirty Slav” but I would still wup your pansy ass anyday!
DITTO
First!
The doll face is classic Pripyat/Chernobyl!
Jews build best nuclear reactors.

This is EnglishRussia not EnglishIsreal
That’s the way, that’s telling him, Jason!
And who do you think created EnglishRussia, a Russian? HA HA HA
Boris, Hear R. Says to play nice with Jason, jaaaaa! He says Jason is right, Mr. Rabinovich needs to SHUT UP, jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! And NO, he DOES NOT HATE JEWS, jaaaaaa! He says to concentrate on your latest invention instead, jaaaaaa! Hear R. says and one more thing, release all the comments awaiting moderation, jaaaaaaaaa! That’s all for now Boris, you may go!

以你他媽的在嘴裡 !
Heywood Jablomie, you **cking teen jerk, show respect for others’ grief! For you that gibberish is translated just like “go **ck yourself”!
hey, where are any mention of photographer? does he gave you permission to use his photos?
What’s so special with these pics??
Even without atomic radiation, would look the same!!
Russians lazy and do not care to maintain and keep clean their towns. So many of them just garbage dumps with weathered olde Soviet apartment blocks.
You just a retard.
achtung’s just mad cause I left him for a real man, a Russian!
She’s telling the truth! Even a Russian male infant is more man than achtung!
I am not dirty Slav, I am son of dirty ex KGB agent turned Prime Minister… but I can translate pic# http://media.englishrussia.com/pripyat_bw/1_010.jpg for you:
It says “Children, study your books, exercise your body, eat good food, then die a slow painful death from nuclear reactor meltdown while the State covers up the facts.”
I wish my daddy was there when it happened, instead of practicing his judo moves on 5 year olds. Maybe then I would have had a normal life.

GET OUT OF HERE STALKER
how come the calendar in the last picture is from 1984?
when the meltdown was on April 26th 1986
It’s a forgery, just like the Moon landing, 9/11 and birth of my mother son. Oh, wait…
I’m watching you Harbuz!
The pictures had an extreme sense of saddness and beauty to them.
achtung and Heywood Jablomie are Mr. Rabinovich, and Mr. Rabinovich is Boris and Boris is the moderator!
Mr. Rabinovich is me!
ROFLMAO! You need acting lesson, a lot of acting lessons! For years and years! Cause you stink!
Finnish Alcoholics Oneline is also listed as a Moderator.
