Exploring Chernobyl's Abandoned Zone
Pripyat was once the home to the Soviet Union's best and brightest. Then, in the space of a few hours, it was completely abandoned. What happened to this city in the shadow of Chernobyl?

Thanks for watching.
Kyle, the fact that you can effectively advocate for nuclear energy while not ignoring the very real dangers is just so inspiring. Never stop being awesome! K, back to cleaning the evil lair
Kyle has become the cool nuclear/radiation guy, seeing his videos on such topics is so entertaining because you can tell it fascinates him
I find it incredible that you were able to complete this trip just shortly before the Russian invasion. We're all the better for it. Here's to hoping for a peaceful Ukraine in the near future.
That sarcophagus looming in the distance truly is chilling. A constant visible reminder of a devastating invisible killer.
I had the pleasure of checking out Pripyat after the Russian invasion. It was even more eerie because there were no tourist or anyone other than a handful of workers and soldiers on security. It was insane to see the Russian positions dug out in the red forrest. Besides the radiation, the whole area was still mined so we observed from a safe distance. Definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life.
"Fifty thousand people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town"
I did not want this to end. Kyle is such a compelling storyteller, especially on a story like this. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Truly such a haunted, but beautiful place.
I'm so glad you were able to visit the facility before it was defiled by war. The poor soldiers who were instructed to dig trenches in the yellow forrest have my utmost sympathy. The plant engineers were imprisoned in the plant also. All so a Russian general could use the plant as his HQ.
I’m so glad this video is back up. When this first came out months ago I was blown away by the stunning views of the landscape and blown away by the professionalism of this video. Well done Kyle.
“Pripyat is not a war zone”
As someone, who've been to Pripyat twice:
The quiet tone of your voice and near poetic prose in these is absolutely perfect for the subject matter. It was indeed eerily beautiful. Fantastic filming and production!
This series has really been satiating my morbid curiosity, I'm always so amazed, shocked and terrified while watching; it's impossible to pause or look away. Kyle deserves way more attention than he's got, it's almost criminal that this content is free.
Kyle, I love these nuclear power/radiation focused videos. It really brings a lot of truth about the subject. As a former Nuclear Power Plant and Health Physics technician it is nice to hear about stuff without the normal layman hype around radiation, radioactivity, and nuclear power.
I cannot express the feelings this video gives me. Wanderlust, nostalgia, loss for what I have never experienced... just wow.
As someone who vaguely remembers the first version of this video, this feels somehow better? You've clearly putdone yourself, Kyle.
I've had a bit of an obsession with Chornobyl and the disaster since I was a small child and I want to thank you for treating it with the respect it deserves in this series
This is a great video, I've wondered for a long time how Pripyat really looked these days. I've only really seen the ariel footage of the ferris wheel and the occasional image of inside abandoned homes.
Your Half Life series, and basically any video you do on nuclear energy or radiation are my absolute favorite videos on KZread. I look forward to every single of one of them.
