I found this thoroughly engrossing... basically it's a photojournal (commentary in broken English) of the author's trips through the Chernobyl dead zone. Life goes on, I guess, but quietly.
MORE: I've spent a quite a bit of time trolling the web for more information about the Chernobyl accident, and it's incredible how much variation there is. I still can't tell you with any confidence how many people were affected, and how severely; the numbers are all over the map. Part of the confusion has to do with the high profile energy agencies authoritatively playing down the effects (for obvious reasons). Only 41 deaths?
