A visual tour of Chernobyl: A disaster of biblical proportions, now compounded by war
Chernobyl is a cursed word, one that is repeated when one is talking about disasters of (almost) biblical proportions that have been burned into the memory of humanity. Photographer Pierpaolo Mittica has published a book (Chernobyl, GOST Books) that is a testament to the communities that either live in in or pass through the exclusion zone, an area of about 2,600 square kilometers (1,000 sq mi) around the site of the 1986 nuclear accident.
