In 1986, the city of Pripyat was a lot cheerier than it is today. This photo was taken just before tragedy struck. Just after this, the nuclear power plant in Pripyat melted down, and ever since then, the city has remained uninhabitable.

Now, only wildlife lives in this city. Right now, the effects of the tradition are being observed and scientists as checking what long-term effects they have.
