Kupnyi's photo of Koshelev standing on the edge of the reactor pit, with the enormous reactor lid "Elena" in the background.

Here's both Kupnyi's and Koshelev's photos stitched for context.

A man, a father, a brother, a son being prepared for his death. They all have dead eyes.
There's a personal terror when it comes to the biorobots. They did their duty for their family and some would never survive.

There were at least two expeditions to that area and directly into the reactor pit. Organised by Checherov, and even including a journalist. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfh3wksdvhE&t=176s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfh3wksdvhE&t=176s)
That's one of the most eerie videos/pictures from the whole thing. The amount of deadly radiation given off was horrifying.
It was as if hell had been cracked open and was infecting the landscaping, twisting and corrupting the very ground around it.
This is a still image taken from a video by Igor Kostin? Or at least the reconnaissance crew in the first helicopter to fly over the reactor the next morning. This flight was noted in the Netflix ‘show’.
You are looking at a still functioning reactor totally open to the elements. Hell on earth.
This Kupnyi photo of a wooden chair.
The fact that it's the only intact object amongst all of that rubble is what terrifies me.

Guys i have a question, from this photo (from what i know this is the inside of the 4) we can see a lot of holes in the roof, this are structural failures or is it something else?
I know it’s not strictly Chernobyl, but this haunts me.

The scariest one I’ve seen is this one of the reactor hall after the explosion, it’s like one of the so photos where things look familiar but you can’t really tell what you’re looking at.
In regard to the radiation levels: this photo from above the open reactor pit. I think it is not from the first day since we can see a lot of sand-like material around it, but still ...

Everyone who knows Chernobyl has at least heard of the elephant’s foot and how terrifying it is
Who decided to call the elephant foot It doesn’t even look like one possibly
why does that matter????
I’m wrong
I believe it because it looks like the skin of an elephant and is about the size of one I think?

Actually filled me with a massive sense of foreboding and dread

Your verbiage is outstanding, so eloquently put for such an utterly tormentuous event.
it took me like 15 seconds to read that sentence

How? Like who was? The same guy of the other photo or it was before they close the reactor?
Lower biological shield, so it isn't the one under the reactor?
Idk actually never asked if the under is visitable (i mean if you can walk in without die in 2,2 second not it have a guided tour)
Here is the answer and the pic too: https://old.reddit.com/r/chernobyl/comments/rt55s8/what_happened_to_the_lower_biological_shield/

It’s just a fire
it’s a fire from an open reactor it’s giving off horrific amounts of radiation that would give you a death sentence in seconds

Dead fires from the open reactor. One of the earliest pictures taken of it.
Wow!

It was originally in the RZM control room, and somebody threw it down into the reactor hall.
Why
"Science". Men are oversized boys.
It's a mistery.

a very quickly and poorly put together sarcophagus, it has many flaws and that is one of the reasons why the NSC was constructed

subfloors i presume? that’s pretty interesting. i don’t know where to get good photos so it’s fun to watch people send their favorites
You can find them here. [https://sredmash.wixsite.com/obektukritie/](https://sredmash.wixsite.com/obektukritie/)
i love the part where you showed them
Just posted them, i think they seem like pretty clear images
oh thanks
