If traveling to Chernobyl from Kiev, you will pass through parts of it (been there, done that, didn't go on any tourist bus trip, though, and never will) and Filatova has surely been around a lot - no doubt about that, but the "problem" is that she actually claimed those Pripyat photos to be real and not arranged, however removing all pointers to that as soon as the mass complaints started to flood in. <br /><br />Yes, Pripyat is withering and I reckon that only within a few years it will become very dangerous for visitors to enter any of its buildings.

Some with children playing in the streets.<br /><br />I think it is obvious that her pics from Pripyat are arranged - has she ever denied that? If you go there now, the city will be overgrown by trees and shrub, and crumbling buildings. Just like Poliske.<br />I would avoid the tour, overpriced and touristy.<br /><br /> best regards, Priffe (Sweden)priffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372569331522525211noreply@blogger.com
