If you know the author, please, please encourage her to place it in a major paper, I'm sure there would be interest.

if not a major paper then i'm sure some of the bike mags would pick it up! Some great photos as well. however, it's a shame the lengths we have to go to find a quiet piece of road these days.

a great site.

CHERNOBYL RADIATION


For comparison:

Unfortunately I do not know the author personally. She is from Ukraine, and I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have searched the net for some info on Chernobyl, and it popped out.
I am not an easy person to impress, but what I read there truly moved me, and this brave and amazing woman changed some of my perspectives.

Her mailing address is at the end of last page, so if you know somebody who would publish it, forward it.

I read this a couple of days ago, and I am still not able to get it out of my head.

Amazing.....

Totally unexpected. I've emailed The Times with the link.

Amazing!!!

I think someone like Channel4 will (should) do a documentary about this woman - although they might have difficulty getting cameramen to follow!

Thanks for sharing this moving site with us.

So, apart from Chernobyl, living in the surrounding area from Sweden to Ukraine is now radiologically like permanently living on a mountain or in a cruising jet aeroplane at 10,000 meters altitude.
