Communism a modern city , everyone lives in the same buildings with identical apartments . Americans would be appalled by this conformity. I can't help but think this was a work prison, where you lived with your family and could never escape. I have been fascinated by the now abandoned city.

@1965ace To my mind it is not relevant anymore, what americans think. USA are more dictatorship today than democrazy, like USSR was. The only difference was that USSR had a somehow good working social system, which the "modern" USA were not able to establish yet (and will be never), I am fascinated by "occupy Wallstreet", this is something that USA need urgently.

@Alex281088 I didn't mean any offense and I can understand why you think that way but I live here and I can tell you "occupy wall street" is nothing but a joke and a media fetish. You would love the freedom here, work anywhere you want live anywhere you want. I built my own house , own my business and set my own hours. The poorest person I know has a car , a cell phone, tv and video games and eats better than I do. If you were to visit I'd love to show you how great it is here.

@1965ace and what is about social system? social insurance? you should come to Europe and see what it is like to live here ;)

Where did people go to work? it looks like all apartments

[Alex281088]

@ComptonForLyfe most of people worked at power plant, but there were also many working in the city of pripyat, in schools, shops, hospitals, like in every city

@lime991 ähhm I think it is not necessary to comment with words like "fucking" but you are right, city has only become 16 years old

@Alex281088 I was int he UK about 10 years ago and it was beautiful. My friend tells me she pays 60% of her income in taxes now and the health care system is a "postal lottery" . You get better healthcare in some postal areas. My brother in-law lives in Germany but we really haven't discussed economic systems. He came to the states about a year ago for special surgery on his knee. There is plenty of government assistance for anyone who wants it though. I am concerned about debt in both systems.

I'm so sorry for that city. It was new, young, modern and full of life. And today is the one of the most creepiest places on the Earth, destroyed, robbed and ruined.

It didn't had even chance to see at least the first half 21 century .
