The mobile application will acquaint users with the history of the Chernobyl accident, provide information about the current status of the Exclusion Zone, will help you to prepare for a trip and even allow you to see Chernobyl from the couch.
The team presented a demo version of the first mobile application of Chernobyl and conducted a digital scan of the Exclusion Zone objects to save them in 3D models and virtual spaces, preventing the loss of cultural heritage due to natural destruction and fires.
We hope to create a resource that will provide free access to the historical and cultural heritage of the Chernobyl tragedy and build the right reputation of the whole country through high-quality, safe tours to the Exclusion Zone and acquaintance of foreigners with history and art around the phenomenon of Chernobyl
When the Chernobyl catastrophe happened, I was -2 years old, that is, I was not only not born yet, but I was not even planned to appear. At the time of the accident, my family was many, many kilometers away from the accident, and the propaganda then worked too well, so the accident has always existed in a world parallel to our reality. That's why I think this project is very important, for many people like me, because I am deeply convinced that such events should not be forgotten or silenced. We need to know what happened then and who our real heroes are.
I wasn’t born yet when the accident happened, but my parents, even though they lived quite far away from Chernobyl - 400+ kilometers - said that it was very scary when they heard the news. No one knew what to do. This project is very important so that as many people as possible can learn about it and that everyone understands the sheer scale of this catastrophe in order to prevent it from happening again in the future.
My mother was pregnant with me at the time. When her uncle said that there was an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, anxiety crept deep into her heart, but the feeling of boundless trust in the authorities prevailed, so the news did not interfere with the festive May Day walk through the city. Uncle doesn't remember the panic, the main focus was on getting the work done and there was very little information about what really happened.
Chernobyl is partly my personal story. My father comes from a small town on the way to the ghost town, and the whole evacuation of Pripyat took place, literally, outside the window of their house. And my husband's father, the liquidator of the consequences of 1986. I hope that we will convey what these people have gone through and what they have sacrificed, refute the fakes, and turn our pain into art
The main information resource of Chernobyl was created to share truthful information to Ukrainian and world audiences on the history of the Chernobyl tragedy, the current state of the Exclusion Zone, expose fakes and provide access to declassified documents, to report on the information component of the Chernobyl disaster.
Chernobyl is the perfect case of FAKE NEWS, which can be used to study the anatomy of information catastrophes and the consequences of propaganda, suppression and manipulation, which led to the biggest technological catastrophe and cost the lives and health of millions of people around the world. This still has a great impact on our lives today. Information impact, just as radiation one – is not immediately noticeable, but can have serious consequences.
We seek to change the current perception of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – from the post-apocalyptic park of the Soviet Union to the Zone of Cultural and Scientific Research and Innovation, which preserves this unique experience for the whole world. We need to share and discuss such sensitive topics in order to learn Chernobyl lessons and prevent the history of one of the biggest informational disasters from repeating itself.
Our goal is to form a holistic understanding of the Chernobyl problems in the historical past, honoring the heroes of the liquidation of the accident consequences.
