Right now, before your eyes, the abandoned city of Pripyat is transforming into a healthy and thriving place. For example, in the first part, I showed what the city would look like now if the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant hadn't exploded. But what if we take it a step further and restore the city streets to the way they were before the explosion?
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant named after Vladimir Lenin was to become one of the world's most powerful enterprises for the production of electricity. And Pripyat was to become a happy city of nuclear workers. The peaceful atom, which was supposed to become a worker, not a soldier. It became just such a soldier, which drove people out of their homes forever.

    I love this so much. Most youtubers focus on what went wrong or make adventure of fascination of city falling apart. You present side that is very much overlooked aside from surface level...the side of potential if disaster never happened. The side of how city could thrive today. It is amazing and unique lookout on the city. Seeing city fall apart more and more makes me sad. I know that for few years there was still hope, government would still keep up city maintanence up even keeping heating up to prevent structural problems from frozen pipes and such. Even though city was empty hope was there, potential wasn't overlooked. But yea that hope soon went away as Ukraine struggled financially too much sadly. They stopped maintaining city...turned heating off... it all went down after. Thing is city aside from invasion and buildings falling apart is actually quite safe. What I mean is radiation wise. The main contributor for radiation got toned down that much over those decates. Only few pockets would need to marked down and protected from general public and city would be mostly livable today. I'm not sure for permanent residency but at least for tourists who aren't there 365 day per year it would be perfectly safe since radiation risk comes from combination of radiation level X time of exposure. Nowadays it's super low radiation in most places. I find it shame they didn't preserve it, missed opportunity. They shouldn't give up. There were actually more district planned for future before disaster strook. So yeahh all this would be super interesting. I'm fascinated by future that it could be. You're giving this rare insight that i'm most fascinated about. Thank you!

    As a little boy I always thought this city was amazing and wanted to visit it before the accident. The buildings just seemed so interesting and unique.

    It’s amazing but There’s 1 huge problem though: The invadion of Ukraine makes it harder and Ukraine needs to repair itself first
