Home, sweet home. Homegrown tomatoes in the kitchen sink of Ivan and his wife Gapa, who have returned to their contaminated village inside the Chernobyl nuclear Exclusion Zone.
In 1986, roughly 350,000 people were forced to evacuate after the explosion in reactor #4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plan contaminated thousands of square miles. In 2005, at the time I took this photograph, disaster be damned, some 400 elderly people had returned. At first Ukrainian officials discouraged them. But when it became clear they meant to die on their contaminated soil - instead of a broken heart in anonymous city suburbs - medical care and other services were provided by the authorities. The couple has since passed, but an estimated 150 returnees still live out their lives inside the contaminated Exclusion Zone.
In her book ‘Voices from Chernobyl’ Nobel Prize laureate Svetlana Alexievich  quotes one of the returnees, “No one is going to fool us anymore, we’re not moving anywhere. There’s no store, no hospital. No electricity. We sit next to a kerosene lamp and under the moonlight. And we like it! Because we’re home.” @ thephotosociety @ナショナルジオグラフィック @natgeocreative #Chernobyl #ExclusionZone #returnees #nuclear
