Keeping “Stalkers’ out
The Chernobyl exclusion zone now extends to a 30-kilometer radius around the reactor and is heavily controlled and sanctioned by Kiev, Ukraine. However, the area is so large that it is possible to sneak by the authorities but please do not attempt to do so. In fact, an entire subculture of mostly young people in Kiev, now aptly called – “stalkers” – are known to sneak into Chernobyl to explore the abandoned buildings.
