Fascinating. Thanks for sharing! I've visited Belarus a number of times, working with disabled children, some of which directly resulted from the Chernobyl disaster. It's good to see that it's still a topic of interest all these years later. Just out of curiosity, what was the response to the Native Ukranians on your trip. Assuming you spoke to anyone with English (I know it's sometimes pretty tough to find English speakers!), what did they feel about your visit? Was there any hostility towards you/the tour company? Though I'd love to visit, I guess I just wonder how the natives feel about the place becoming a tourist attraction.
