But it has taken time for the horror of what happened a quarter of a century ago to seep through the old Soviet veil of secrecy.
Pripyat was built to house 50,000 of the nuclear power plant's workers and the rusty fairground in the middle of the ghost town stands as a reminder that it was once a place filled with young people and growing families, reaping the benefits of the burgeoning nuclear industry.

My mother was hit by the radioactive rain and the communist government didn't want people from that. The cloud went straight here, to the east of Czech republic.
