This is an awesome report. Truly, first rate.

There is so much information here that this is something I will read over and over. This report is an example of how to do a professional narrative. The Kronstadt cathedral is a great example of Byzantine architecture as well.
Did Igor Kurdin and Andrey Nikolaev know of your affiliation with Subsim and that they and this story would be profiled here ? Did they know you had visited Chernobyl ?
Thanks for sharing your trip with us and the history and pictures as well.
