Someone recently posted a similar site with some of the same photos, maybe it was you.

"This old man lives in the Chernobyl area. He is one of 3.500 people that either refused to leave or returned to their villages after the meltdown in 1986. I admire those people, because each of them is a philosopher in their own way. When you ask if they are afraid, they say that they would rather die at home from radiation, than die in an unfamiliar place of home-sickness. They eat food from their own gardens, drink the milk of their cows and claim that they are healthy.....but the old man is one of only 400 that have survived this long. He may soon join his 3,100 neighbors that rest eternally in the earth of their beloved homes."

The whole story is incredibly emotional.
One of the saddest pictures for me was one near the end on the 'no commentary' pages that showed a child-sized gas mask. That someting is even needed in this world is heartbreaking, if not angering.

No, it was not me. I got the link in e-mail from American friend. I also found these pictures impressing but I didn't bother to check for authorship or anything. I believe they are authentic from just looking at them.

On a different subject - speaking of what really gets people by the balls: child-size gas masks and special boxes for infants and home pets - this is what Israelis went through during Gulf war.
My friends had a new baby during that time. And their baby-girl was naturally seeking for milk when the night chemical attack signal was breaking everyone's sleep. So her mother had to breastfeed her before putting in a protecting box. No wonder they cheered at the fact that Saddam was overthrown.
