The fire brigade left from here to eliminate the Chernobyl disaster in April, 26 1986. All ten members of that brigade died from radiation.
Ten minutes after the explosion, the firemen of Pripyat arrived at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and took the main blow at themselves.
The brigade, commanded by Lieutenant Viktor Nikolaevich Kibenok, was fightinf a fire at the station in the first hours of the disaster. All brigade members got the huge radiation doses and later died in the hospital. Lieutenant Kibenok was posthumously recognized as Hero of the Soviet Union.
Only a few hours after the explosion the radiation level near the reactor was established and the firemen, who arrived later, began to work in shifts to avoid critical radiation doses.
Shortly before the Chernobyl disaster, here, in Pripyat, located in a couple kilometers from the power plant, the construction of the KGB building began.
Chernobyl backwater - a place where, before the accident, old ships were collected for disposal or repair, turned into a cemetery of radioactive barges and ships.
An amazingly tempting and simultaneously frightening place, which has become popular thank to many games and movies - is truly worthy of its reputation.
