Graffiti of Pripyat – the ghost town

April 26, 1986, the most devastating accident at the nuclear power plant occurred. As a result, Pripyat, young and thriving Soviet city, was abandoned.

But its life goes on now in other forms – in forms of interesting and unexpected graffiti on the streets of a ghost town. Streets and avenues are almost completely overgrown with trees, the city is gradually destroyed.

The very appearance of graffiti in Pripyat is ambiguous. There is a view that this is the desecration of the grave, but others believe that it is a form of modern art in the urban environment – incentive for tourism, creation of various art projects. Photos by Alex Cheban
