People, today, we are in Belarus, close to the Ukrainian border, no more than a dozen miles away from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Back in the day, this area counted among the most prosperous in the entire Soviet Union, but the explosion of the No. 4 reactor at the nuclear power plant on April 26, 1986 brought a happy life of thousands of people to an abrupt end. We’ll see the land that will remain unsafe for habitation for hundreds and even thousands of years into the future. We’ll visit ghost villages and towns with their abandoned kindergartens and houses where time seems to have stopped. This is "The People" project reporting from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
