Do you guys know about Ghost Town? It's a sort of motorcycle travel diary by the daughter of a Ukrainian nuclear physicst.

DeAnander sourced the map of the "Dead Zone" and most of the other images for the paralle diary from this girl's website, but did not mention it, nor quote any text from it. Whassup with that?

I understand this is is a fake story, made using real pictures from the zone.

Sorry, I cannot find the link again, but I remember perfectly reading it (after reading that story and disbelieving that it was untrue when the same was pointed out to me)

Look at Wikipedia Kiddofspeed Entry

The photographs' authenticity is not challenged, as far as I know.  The narrative into which they have been placed by Elena Filatova has been debunked pretty thoroughly as semi-fictional.  Thus I quote zero text from that site, but only use it as a handy archive of photographs from the Dead Zone and surrounding regions.

If anyone can convincingly debunk a specific photograph I included as faked or wrongly ascribed, then I didn't do enough homework and will have to print a retraction.  I did not include some suspect photos from partisan websites for this very reason.

The difference between theory and practise in practise ...

I note that via my Wormwood Forest link (last picture in diary), you'll find another Chernobyl gallery.
