@chernobyl.archive: The Beginning of the End: The Evacuation of Pripyat (April 27, 1986) 🎗️ "Attention, attention!..." This chilling radio announcement marked the final moments of Pripyat as a living city. Just 36 hours after the Chernobyl disaster, over 45,000 residents were told they were being evacuated "temporarily" for 3 days. They packed light, leaving their entire lives behind, never to return. Thank you all for 60k! Sharing this rare footage to remember the history and the lives changed forever. 🖤 #chernobyl #pripyat #History #rarefootage #ghosttown
