🙏🏼 Thank you for making these videos possible through your support of Seek Discomfort
I've been fascinated with Chernobyl since the moment I read about it in history class over 10 years ago. A few months ago I had the opportunity to go explore it after a big snowfall. The stories we heard were both heartbreaking and inspiring. So excited to finally be able to share.
We were all tested for Covid multiple times before filming this episode and no one has showed any symptoms in the months following this trip.
Thank you to:
Nazar Dorosh for the FPV drone shots:

As you can see, we decided to not add any sponsors or plugs on this story so we could focus on the story-telling and visual experience. But making a video of this complexity without sponsor is definitely not easy, the support from Seek Discomfort is largely how we're able to create stories like this one. It took us several months get the edit to this place and a few days of filming. I'm super proud of how the video came out and hope you enjoy it. Watch it on a TV for full experience :) See you next week - Thomas
It's an amazing story! I really enjoy this new serie, but for a person who dosen't have english as their first language, i would love some more subtiltels for a better understanding
You guys are the best
ok
They mean sponsorships guys- like cuts that aren’t ads. Part of the video sponsors.
@@metallicak5 Recently, CZcams implemented a new policy that they'll be putting ads on videos even if they're not monestised. So CZcams made money off their video, while they didn't.
The fact that we get free documentaries on CZcams by Yes Theory is truly a gift.

Here after the announcement that the city of Chernobyl is now under attack. My heart is hurting for those in this video that are now under attack. I seriously can’t stop thinking of them.

@@wanterbaik I really hope she is …
Sometimes it isn't always the case just recently in Bucha 300 civilians or more were killed by Russian troops and there could be more in neighboring suburbs near Kyiv more civilian deaths committed by retreating Russian military already leaving the Kyiv region leaving behind bodies and slaughter of innocent people who didn't want war. I hope the old lady is okay since she survived all the hardships throughout Ukraine's history.
thankfully not many people live near chernobyl
After binge watching your channel for the past week I have learned 2 things: humanity is resilient and hope is the best medicine for the soul. Everywhere you go that from the outside just seems desolate and depressing, you find people with overwhelming amounts of optimism and kindness. Your channel shows the light that lives in humans all over the world. Thank you for filming your experiences around the world and showing the beauty and likeness in humans everywhere❤

@@locke430 appreciate it
I flew to Chernobyl in November just because of this video and it was such a eye opening experience. I am extremely grateful that i made the decision to go see it. It hurts even more now to see what’s happening there, when you met all the kind people. Hoping this will end soon.
I hope the locals in this video are okay, the mere possibility of anything bad having happened to these wonderful people makes my heart crumble 🥺

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how warm and genuine these people are. Real people not a selfish bones in their bodies.
And editing is top notch too
@@DyslexicMitochondria Omg Hi bro!! i watch your channeI. Love your videosss
She's 88 years old, amazing how she can live alone in such an environment.
Built different
maybe you can get positive effects from radiation lol
It's a piece of virgin nature there. There are woods clean of plastic, wildlife is rich and diverse. It is quiet - no mass trafic any near you can hear.
Sometimes travelers come to talk and even maybe help. There is kinda local community of workers, ecologists, stalkers, etc. They're helping each other.
Hard times create strong men(or woman in her case).
God bless her
Great documentary 🙌🏼
yoooooooo its u
keep doing what your doing guys, discovered your channel a few weeks back and haven't been able to stop, I love people like you guys, always willing to treat everyone with respect and love. full of the adventure spirit that's so lost in our society today. thank you!

Yeah Looll
These episodes are MOVIES!! Editors need a raise, holy crap!

Jesus Christ died for your ssiiinnsss please turn to him the kingdom of heaven is at hand
The drone shots gave me goosebumps.... Overwhelming and eerie at the same time. And grandma is a real sweetheart! I just paused trying to predict the reaction when she offered food. Anyways great documentary- thank you!
What a sweet old lady she is i hope she's still doing good
The creepiest part of it is how untouched most of it seems. Normally after a place is abandoned, it would be totally looted and picked over. Here though it’s as if they everyone got up and left just yesterday, you could even see what the kids were studying the day they left
i was literally thinking the same! it was so overwhelming to realize that when you sit on those chairs in front of the books you’re repeating something that happened several years ago by people who evacuated or even died!
Well, if to be honest that place is almost totally looted. If you check some other videos you will see that the apartments in Prypyat are empty, no heating radiators no TVs or fridges, all the metal stuff was stolen during the 90s by the locals around the zone. And yea, sure stuff like desks or posters on the walls are still there, cuz they had no value.
It's scary to think about the hundreds if not thousands of car parts, cables and radiators that were radioactive yet stolen and sold to other people who had no idea where they come from.
But that place truly is one of a kind, and it's a shame I lived in Ukraine for so many years and haven't had a chance to go there
@@David_Liu93 i thought they were destroyed bc they were radiactive, did they actually get stolen by people? and when did they open pripyat to the public again?
It has been looted and most of the items, although original have been posed over the years on the furniture by photographers. I was inside less "picture worthy" buildings there and they are completely empty. Believe me, without taking away anything from the tragedy, this and most documentaries overdramatize and make it seem like an exclusive place difficult to get to. In reality you would normally see a bunch of other large groups of tourists roaming around. They just went in the dead of winter when normally tourist don't in the Kiev area.
@@terminationshock1356 ah makes sense
This is what i love about yes theory, when they explore places they don't do it on a surface level, they talk to people and bring light to their experiences and beliefs. I've been binge watching their videos since i discovered their channel two weeks ago. I can't believe I'm watching it for free, i feel like i should pay for it because it is THAT GOOD.
With whats going on right now, (Russia seized Chernobyl) i cant stop thinking about that old lady…😞
Why is not anyone talking about the guide? So lovely and heart warming person, and the babushka too... ❤️

That's not a ghost town, that's a whole ghost city.
so sad we’ve ruined earth so badly, made parts uninhabitable
@@emmagrace4705 if we can't live there we don't destroy it more than it is, animals can live there.
@@emmagrace4705 wym "we" i didnt do it :)
Except with no ghosts. Hardly any people died during the meltdown and Grand Central Station has more ambient radiation than that city.
@@Cato-bp6dx animals cannot inhabit the place it’s toxic for them as well.
My town has 45,000 people. Chernobyl had 5,000 more. I can't imagine evacuating the entire city, never to return. Apartments, the hospital, the school, all left like the people just vanished. I can't imagine what it was like for the people who lived there.
Pripriyat had 50,000 people. Chernobyl is a completely different city that was not evacuated. It lies outside, to the south, the exclusion zone.
It looks like they vanished because they were only told by authorities to take all the necessary stuff to leave just for 3 days. That is what my parents told me, they both come from Kyiv region, my father was born and raised in the town, which is about 70 km south from Prypiat'
Oh, yeah, it was said in the video, sorry)
12:35 I hope the woman is safe now after all that is happening in Ukraine, especially Russia capturing the Chernobyl area.
Yes🥲🇺🇦
@@samaliia5531 so sad what is happening their now

Okay, I am sorry but what the fuck. The cinematography, stories told, even the mere idea are INSANE like you guys should make literal movies!!!!
Have you ever seen a Hitchcock film, or Lynch, or Herzog, or Powell and Pressburger, or Altman, or Bergman, or Tarkovsky, or Malick? Or any great masterpiece of cinema? These videos are not movie quality.
@@julianfrederick9082 ī don’t see where it was ever mentioned that you have to be a cinematic masterpiece of a director, to be allowed to make movies?
@@siddarth1346 It wasn’t, and I didn’t mention that either. Anyone can try to make movies just like any other art, but if this video is any indication of the quality of film these people would make then the person I replied to shouldn’t be encouraging them to try to make a serious movie.
@@julianfrederick9082 Julian, we don’t live in the 50’s anymore buddy. This can be and should be considered a documentary. The industry has changed and will keep changing. Stop living in the past ✌🏼

Its fascinating to me that everything that we see here, is exactly as it has been for the past 35 years. Pretty much everything is in the same state as people left if in that chaos in 1986.. This town is like a time machine..
thats what people think. in reality, most of the stuff that was there has been taken, and lots of the things that are there are brought by photographers. but yeah, there will be a few things there that havent moved for 35 years
@@LUNE.44 See, I was curious when they showed the school because, I know if I went, I would have taken a book or two, or SOMETHING. But then I finally realized that it would all be contaminated and I do not know how to store radioactive materials.

As someone who’s so much into scoring and sound design, I just want to say that please give your editor a massive raise because damn.
I think i remember them saying they edit themselves or they edit also get some help.
Ukrainian here, When my dad was young he was a radiation firefighter in ukraine. When the disaster happened, he was on leave but the rest of his team responded to the crisis. They all passed away. That timing is the reason he survived and i can write this today.
The video is such an eye opening and outstanding example, it was skillfully filmed and edited. Chernobyl is one the most unforgettable incidents in human history, it only reminds us how everything around us is fragile and how despite massive destruction, there might be a chance to begin from zero.

Been binge watching episodes today ( and subscribed) this one really made an impression for 2 reasons: 1. The scale of the disaster which comes through clearly. 2. That this facility is the focus of attacks by Russian forces. It's just craziness.
I am a serious convert to your channel, so wanted to reach out and say thanks.
I like that you talk to people in your productions. They are the most valuable resource :)
In case anyone wonders what's the secret place where Misha measured 20.000 microsieverts per hour - it's inside of the basement located at chernobyl's hospital. The reason of why there is such high radiation is because firefighters were transported to that hospital after extinguishing the fire and they were asked to take off all of their radiated clothes and throw it into the basement. No one tells tourists about that place since it's extremely dangerous to be there without a special outfit, and if anyone attempts to go there unprepared - you can only wish that person good luck, since it would be the only thing which can save your life at that point.
Thanks
Nah, you won't die from exposure like that, just not a good place to hang around for more than a couple minutes.
Could also be the red forest
@@LittleEmoDancerwhat? Do you understand radiation? Nuclear physics, effects it has on biological entities or just molecules?
Definitely not true, it is not a good place to stay for more than a few minutes but you'll not die just by going there. If you're seeking for immediate effects on your health, then you would need to be exposed to 1Gray(1000mSv). In what you're saying, we're only at 20mSv/hrs, negative long terms effects can rarely happens if you're exposed to more than a 100mSv/YEARS. In conclusion, no you will not die instantly, but yes you should not stay for more than a few minutes.
This was too high quality for CZcams. You guys need a Netflix show
second this!!!
I am so happy I came across your youtube channel. you have very unique stories. this one has beautiful video shots. feels like I am also in Chernobyl. high quality content

I watched the HBO miniseries about Chernobyl and I was very surprised to see the Grandma who is still alive even after going back when it was a highly radioactive place. I definitely recommend giving the series a watch.
From the series and other documentaries I learnt that the exclusion will remain unhabitable for 24,000 years as that is the half life of the radioactivity there.
Seeing this video shows that the people of Pripyat overcame a great disaster and are living their lives happily which warms my heart.
Awesome documentary everyone, I have watched many on Chernobyl but I really enjoyed this one. Keep it up!

" I started glowing at night and i dghrink too much vodka but am fine " - This man is not only brave as hell but witty and hilarious. One of the most interesting facts about this channel that you guys have the best company in your travels like it's all meant to be.
fr lol
Drinking actually helps reduce the effects of radiation. A few years ago I read about one of the doctors treating people from Hiroshima (in Hiroshima) after the bomb fell. He said he was so overwhelmed by all the human suffering, that the only way he could cope and operate on radiation and burn victims was by being continuously drunk. He is one of the few people still alive and healthy at the time I read this and much of it was attributed to the amount of sake he consumed that day.

@@Cadollan You can heal radiation with vodka in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games

My father leaved in Pripyat with his family at the time, fortunately he was away when the explosion happened. It is a strange feeling for him to know that his home is still there probably with their belongings and he'll never go there again. However, this resulted in him, my grandparents and my aunts moving to Crimea, where he met my mother, whose family was relocated there after Leninokan earthquake in Armenia. It's just crazy how they met each other both being victims of disasters. 🤯
Just proves how bad situations can lead to great outcomes.
The ending was surprisingly wholesome.
one was natural and one was nuclear
His apartment is probably in ruins like the rest of the apartments their.
Even the guy with the jacket that says project iceman is gorgeous man
Just wonder as advanced as a place as it was what it would have been in 2022. In the summer it's still ominous so sad that an error and negligence that had taken place that caused the disaster could have been avoided. RIP to all those that gave their lives, lost loved ones and friends. Truly unforgettable
In 2022 it would have been bombed out by the Russians
I'd be interested in knowing the radiation readings of the food she offered and the vodka she made...
Probably the exact same as the regular environmental levels.
its not like the food was produced inside the zone or before/during the main spread of radiation. the food is probably from the store in one of the villages, and that itself gets their foods imported from other places, most likely Kiev
@@LUNE.44 I do believe there was a points in the video that she mention that she grew potatoes, and drank water from her well. I would think it depends on how close she is to the radiation source, but I would bet that there is some radiation.
@@LUNE.44 they literally said right before that she eats the food she grows and drinks the well water and that she made the vodka from potatoes she grew. And the environmental radiation is still dangerously high. Why do you think you don't hear birds? They won't live there.

Alot of animals were slaughtered to prevent radiation spread, especially flying ones.
The story of Chernobyl still scares the shit outa me till this day.
I think it does that to everyone
What about the story of Fukushima???
Yooo same, like whenever I go to watch anything about Chernobyl I take it off immediately
Why? It’s impossible for this to happen today. All the remaining RMBK reactors have been fixed and an explosion like this isn’t possible in the west.
@@dandylion2837 It’s never gonna happen again so it doesn’t scare me.
Fascinating story and Incredible cinematography!
Amazing job on this video it was so interesting to watch
Unbelievable! Been hearing stories about this my entire life. But never really understood. Thank you guys!
u can watch the show chernobyl by hbo to understand exactly what happened.

Have you guys never played call ofduty
Can you imagine, they were said to leave their homes for just three days and actually they never came back:(
Reminds me of our 2 week quarantine
@@bajafilth143 stfu, it's nothing like quarantine. You still have your homes, your lives, your health. The people of Pripyat don't have any of that. Not their homes, their clothes, their money, their valuables. Nothing.
@@jasonvargas7564 "you still have your homes"
Well, not everyone. Many don't have the home and business anymore.
@@K3T1 business is different from home. And it's still incredibly fallacious to compare a NUCLEAR FALLOUT to a measly quarantine. Most people were able to work from home, and have shifted entirely to working from home, saving time and money on useless commute to their physical offices. Schools resumed online with Zoom.
And more importantly, we're getting back on track to the way things were before the pandemic. Millions of people are getting vaccinated. Businesses are opening. Restaurants have opened back up. School is resuming in person again. Gatherings, festivities, weddings are happening again.
....you do realize that NONE of that, is happening again in Pripyat, right?

Is that a dead goat on the snow behind them at 4:29? They're casually chatting in front of it without saying anything about it.
Its his sleeping dog
@@fakeoregeon5390 ooooooooooh 🤣
This is still so sad many years later. Great video
“50,000 people used to live here. Now it’s a ghost town.” Chills from call of duty
Cod 4 memories
I heard the 50,000 people used to live in the city. And just heard the rest from shear experience.. Only completed the game 50+ times
broo you set me. Back
I saw the Ferris wheel, and that is the one line that passed my memory.
The pool look like it was from warzone
These documentaries are better then the ones you have to pay for on NETFLIX.
You speak the truth my friend. These are way better
Some dude on TikTok retardidly put his Netflix account and password, after showing his messages, I’ve been using the account for a while
@@godlike634 lmao
Can you tell me the acc and pass
@@ERICSAW 😂😂 hey me too
The guide and gramma were incredible vibes!
Such an amazing story, but I just love the Duga dive at the end.
Am I the only one who is like: omg the pool from COD, omg the building where Price slid down a zipline, oh that's the ferris wheel.....
Same!
@@Shoebum i feel you
yeah I say is this a fricking warzone?
Me: is that the ship from cod
The real verdansk
"Fifty thousand people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town." -Cpt. Macmillan
Playing through my head the entire video
Yep
This is the comment I was looking for
I just pictured going by that empty pool when he said that on the Remastered
I never knew the COD4 map actually looked exactly the same, untill now 😱
