Welcome to an interactive Neatline tour of the exclusion zone. Here you will find points of interest as well as some history about them.

Disclaimer: The Soviet government was not very transparent and as a result, archive material is not abundant or easily accessible. Therefore, not all records will have the same amount of detail.

However for this tour, I intended for the map, pictures, and videos to speak for themselves -- whether from the past or from today, a picture is worth a thousand words. History is relative to the individual, thus the zone is yours to explore and interpret.
