Pripyat. It was founded in 1970 year, it was one of the most rapidly developing cities of the time. This is a unique phenomenon - a city born in the Union and preserving the Union itself. Soviet Union never died. He lived, lives and will live always. Of great interest to me, Pripyat represented the fact that this is the last place where I will be able to touch the past and see it exactly the way it was. Because there is the past preserved forever. This is the most unique place in the world. Making his way through the thick thorn grove in an abandoned school, I saw dozens of posters, motivating children to learn, to become better and improve. Posters to believe the party and its power, its virtue, it is an indescribable feeling. For a moment I felt jealous of them. He believed in the bright paint of their seemingly non-existent future. We do not believe even in their present.
