Chernobyl

The day of the Chernobyl catastrophe was the artist’s wedding day. As a reserve officer, he received a note from the local military administration instructing him to be prepared for departure to Chernobyl. At the time, he did not know the scale or seriousness of the disaster — everything was kept secret from the public. He posed for these farewell pictures with his brother, but in the end they forgot about him, and he remained at home. A kind of luck.
