I think I'll start my own 'Kidofspeed' site with a bunch of my Kazakhstan pictures.

Too bad it wasn't a nuclear but economic disaster that chased all the people out of this city. I suppose that I could make something up, like the mototsiklistka did, but then, I don't look that good in leathers.

Isn't this an urban legend? I actually looked up the passage from Revelations in a Russian Bible, and the word was not chernobyl.

It looks like Chernobyl means "black-" something, I don't know what the "byl" addition means.
