Okraina: Tsiaro an'i Chernobyl...

Déjà Vu - The Uncanny Feeling remembers Chernobyl: “When I think of Chernobyl … […] … I see 16-year-old Katya in Kiev, 90 km south of Chernobyl, scared to death by a danger she can't see, she can't sense, getting on a train for Leningrad to escape from radiation. She has never moved back to Kiev. This was the “sudden end of my childhood” as she said years later. Katya is my wife.”
