I learned about Hanna in The Babushkas of Chernobyl documentary. It is nice to see an update on her. Sad to learn of her sister's passing.

That is a so good documentary. When her sister passed, for a few months she started to act like... fading away. Then, something changed, she became very joyful. Love her.

Oh my dear God!!!! What a ride!!! I hope Baba Hanna and the other would be healthy and safe in this troubled times of war!!!! She is the real definition of "a warm granny" and reminded me how could be the mine (she passed away so many years ago)... God bless Ukraine!!! #SlavaUkraini!!!! Blessings and greetings from Venezuela!!!!

We will hopefully come to Hanna relatively soon, so if you want us to deliver a message or greetings - let us know!

Thanks for this video. I have to admit that it is really emotional. I always wanted to travel and get to know the zone, such a disgrace what is currently happening with the war. I hope it gets better soon and it's possible to travel safely again! Thanks for this video and all the computer themed ones.

Thank you! The Zone now.. reminds 1986 as it was described. It is for sure will be open again, and we hope it will not continue turning to a theme park, as, unfortunately, this tendency we've noticed in the last few years. You know, it has to be a place wbich gives you a space for thinking. We are going to make a new series, an insider's view to the zone, and the first ep will be this weekend.

Wow... I am listening about Zone for some time and I never realized that this is one of the very sides that we do not have a chance to see everyday. Thank you for this amazing video showing us the life in Zone. I wish I could be here with all of you and feel the atmosphere.

Thank you! A week ago we visited her again, brought a lot of stuff funded by one of our supporters on Patreon. She is doing good, and in summer it feels like you'd come to your granny in a village. In fact, given that our grandparents are long passed away, she became so.

I remember the video of Hanna and the ladies at the bus stop. It breaks my ❤ that these people are almost all gone. There is so much to learn from these people.

Fascinating! A side of the Zone that those of us on the outside never see.

Thank you! Therr is much more to tell here, it is an entire cultural layer, so might be in the next videos. As i said, the core things that we can't comprehend is, how at one territory this bounds a high-tech civilization without any intersection apart from probably having an energy wire and a TV.

Thank you very much. It would be really great to see more of the zone.

Thank you for your words! There will be much more, just in the current conditions it is not good idea to film in the area; however, what we will start very-very soon is a series on its history and insights. There is much to tell :)

Reminds me of the Chernobyl STALKERS Kreosan English KZread channel where they explore everything. The bus stop I've seen before in another KZread channel I've seen but can't remember which one. Great KZread channel!

Oh my God it's Grandma

I don't understand how these old people can survive there, they always serve different kind of food to visitors, but were all that stuff come from? There are no shops nearby to reach by foot in that age I guess, how they get their money from their pension even to buy stuff if there is any opportunity too. they get supported but is there a shedule were kind of van like a rolling supermarket visits these villages?

@ChernobylFamily

It is complex, but manageable. As for food, they normally have own gardens/fields nearby; a massive amount of food is brought by Zone's staff and by visitors as well. E.g. Hanna sometimes calls me (she has a phone) that she needs something. Pension payments are delivered by the department of the self-settlers affairs which is a branch of the state administration of the Zone. They used to have a mobile store coming once per two weeks, nowadays it comes very very rarely so it is all is running by help of visitors / foresters / police / radiation safety technicians. In fact, we visited her again three days ago, brought a few big bags of stuffs.

This is the fourth KZreadr I seen go to her house

To be honest, we went to her for the first time I think in 2011... so a bit earlier than any KZreadr... however, it is not that important, at all. The most important, she is doing well, though she had some health issues a few months ago.

She's so sweet
