See the Lights go on in Pripyat again: 30 Years after Chernobyl Disaster

Yesterday, I have finished my six-part Chernobyl Travel Series of blog posts. It was my first series of posts on Steemit and it was a much greater success than I would have dared to imagine. At this point, I would like to thank everyone who has followed me since Part I and welcome all the new readers to my blog.

Before I am going to start my next big travel series – which is going to be about Bosnia and Serbia – I thought I should do a follow-up post about Chernobyl and show you some amazing pictures that were recently taken by some tech-enthusiasts in Pripyat.

A couple of guys from Poland managed to use electrical generators to turn many lights and lamps in Pripyat on again – after 30 years! – and it looks absolutely astonishing. The intention was to prove that "if Soviet technology doesn't break immediately, it will last forever!" But see for yourselves.

Do you remember some of these buildings from our visit to Pripyat? I personally absolutely love these guys for what they did. They have found and pointed out another small thing that reminds us of the people who built this city and lived in it.

If you like, you can watch an interview with them on RT:
