Live: Chernobyl & Babushkas

Death, yet living. Bearing the name that will forever resonate in the history of mankind: Chernobyl. Take a walk around this city that was home to 15 thousand people, and after the evacuation to almost 100 thousand liquidators. It is also the place of the famous Chernobyl trial that you know from watching the Chernobyl miniseries. Expecting silence, ghost streets and an empty atmosphere? Not at all, you are about to see the real living face of Chernobyl today in just one hour.

The Chernobyl Live online experience will take you to the very heart of the town in Chernobyl, its inhabitants, and their destiny. Chernobyl city is the only place in the Chernobyl zone where human life still flourishes, and this paradox makes this experience truly transcendent. Starting at the most spiritual point – the church, which according to radiation readings, was the cleanest place in the whole zone after the Chernobyl accident in 1986. Some believe that the Chernobyl accident was even mentioned in the Bible. This belief is displayed in the unique icon – the only icon in the whole world where humans are depicted together with angels and saints. See the abandoned Lenin street, leading to the statue of the “father of the Soviet Union”. Go around the river port with abandoned ships left here after being contaminated. The display of military vehicles and robots that helped clean up the Chernobyl zone from 1986-1992 might take you back to your video gaming moments.

Pay tribute to the Chernobyl heroes as we go around the Firestation in Chernobyl where the iconic monument, which serves every family and friends of the firefighters who had fallen in the battle against the radiation, commemorates their heroism. Proceeding to the Memorial park, the real thrilling stories of love, hope, escape and death begin. Statues, memorials, road signs of 100 abandoned villages, and cities with a real Soviet post box in the middle will probably make you think about your own life and the time we have on this planet.

Now you are ready to visit the real heroes, the Chernobyl inhabitants. Together we will peek into the life of one of the oldest self settlers (called the Chernobyl babushkas), while learning their story and their way of life. Having this human touch of Chernobyl history will fill your heart and soul, but not with sadness, but rather with hope. Chernobyl babushkas are living heroes who bear the forgotten culture of this now empty region, as well as one of a few who can remember the events after April 26, 1986 and also who were evacuated. How did they manage to come back? And why? You will learn straight from them and your guide, as questions from you are always welcomed. The distance will not play any role, you can ask anything and even discuss some of the most unbelievable conspiracies about Chernobyl. Or maybe you just want to chat with your guide about her “regular job,” or any of the “mutations” she can see every day. Let your curiosity run free!

At the end of your Chernobyl online experience, the world will not look the same again, at least the Chernobyl perspective you have now. The Chernobyl online experience is an online streaming tour using original, uncensored video from the Chernobyl zone with your host – a Chernobyl guide. It is streamed live via a ZOOM room where you will be invited from Kyiv, Ukraine to ensure connection (limited coverage of Chernobyl area) and a packed programme.
