True.聽 However, neighboring Pripyat, where many of the images purported to be from Chernobyl are actually taken, was a restricted city, so those who lived there were all pretty much assigned to do so, as part of the necessity of maintaining the Soviet industries and infrastructure supporting them.聽 It's also true that much of the population of Chernobyl was massacred multiple times throughout history, first in Jewish pogroms and later by both sides fighting in the Russian civil war and then the Nazis.聽 It's one of those Ukrainian cities with a lot of history, much of it violent, long before the nuclear disaster ...
