Chernobyl Liquidators Camp
Evgenie, a friend of mine who is a former Chernobyl liquidator, worked in the Exclusion Zone from May 18, 1986 - June 22, 1986. Like many liquidators, he lived in the Zone in a "tent city." As a member of the 25th Brigade, his camp was based near the village or Oranoe, just northeast of what is now known as the Dytyatky Checkpoint.
The short film below shows liquidation efforts in the Chernobyl Zone in June 1986. In this film you will see what his tent camp looked like.
Yevgen, another friend from Kyiv, visited the camp with Evgenie in April 2007. Yevgen has posted a photo essay of their trip on his website (beware, the text is in Russian).
