Gas masks, Pripyat by Quintin-Lake on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Children’s gas masks, the silver filter elements removed by looters. They had ben issued according to soviet policy in case of nuclear attack from the West.
Pripyat (Pripiat), 1km from the reactor, was designed as an exemplar of Soviet planning for the 50,000 people who worked at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986 the result was the worst nuclear accident in history. Now a ghost town in Ukraine, Pripyat is in a radioactive exclusion zone unfit for human habitation for hundreds of years. This image was taken in 2007 over 5 hours, apparently the safe period of exposure.
This image was exhibited at the Architectural Association, London in the exhibition “Pripyat: 21 Years After Chernobyl, photographs by Quintin Lake” 2008

Visiting Pripyat is on my bucket list. Re-enacting scenes from MW1 may be on that bucket list, too.
