But only some of them can get here and see the consequences with their own eyes. The number of those who witnessed the terrible events in the first years is even smaller. The picture objectively fixed the time before the disaster and those changes that have been happening here for 20 years. The book in your hands is a “stalker” which will lead you into the depth of the Zone, show its past and present, help comprehend the scale and assess the consequences…”

There is a tradition among Russian people to throw coins there

Those leaving the city were mostly white people who fled to the suburbs. As a result, the tax base was destroyed and the black population that remains has had to govern a 139-square-mile city with limited resources.
