The following photos are from Public Pool “Lazurny” (Басейн “Лазурний”), which was located near several residential buildings on Sportivnaya Street in Pripyat. Strangely, the pool was in use until 1998, 12 years after the Chernobyl disaster. It’s considered one of the least contaminated places in Pripyat and was mainly used by liquidators. Liquidators were the military and civil personnel charged with limiting both the immediate and long-term consequences of the disaster.
