Novoshepelichi village used to be a densely populated place (3000 people). During the first days after the Chernobyl catastrophe on April 27, 1986, the radiation background here was equal to 110-130 mР/h. But the citizens were evacuated only on May 3. They stayed there for a week!
The village had a school, a house of culture, a library, a cafe, a boarding school and a kindergarten. A woodworking plant, a sewing studio and a fire station were there as well. Among those who lived in Novoshepelichi were builders of Pripyat. Blogger zametkiev paid a visit to the abandoned place to take these interesting photographs.

The dormitory with a shop and an administrative premise. Once a group of stalkers were detained in this place by police.
One may even live here, at the base, the room has beds and the roof is dry.
A propaganda corner.

Kindergarten.
Everything is just like thirty years ago!
The shabby childhood…
This image in summer would not be possible, everything gets overgrown.
Houses still look good.
Install the windows and live…
Do I have any letters?
The only five story apartment building in the village.
Central batteries are surprisingly still here.
Way back to Pripyat.
Thanks to blogger zametkiev for the pictures!
Seen to many pics from here over the years
Great post. It’s kinda nice (in a sad way) to see Novoshepelichi is still untouched. I imagine there are less ‘visitors’ to Novoshepelichi than Pripyat so less damage happens.
