Original Pripyat Evacuation Recording - IT'S HISTORY

The message broadcast during the evacuation of Pripyat: Attention! Attention! In connection with the accident at the Chernobyl atomic power station, unfavorable radiation conditions are developing in the city of Prypiat. In order to ensure complete safety for residents, children first and foremost, it has become necessary to carry out a temporary evacuation of the city’s residents to nearby settlements of Kyiv oblast. For that purpose, buses will be provided to every residence today, April 27, beginning at 14:00 hours, under the supervision of police officers and representatives of the city executive committee. It is recommended that people take documents, absolutely necessary items and food products to meet immediate needs. Comrades, on leaving your dwellings, please do not forget to close windows, switch off electrical and gas appliances and turn off water taps. Please remain calm, organized and orderly.

A very calm way of saying "Run, Run for your fucking lives"

[masterimbecile]

What was meant to be a calming announcement sounds very chilling all these years later. The irony.

[CuriousMuse]

“We have an unfavourable situation”.... we have a DISASTER, everyone escape! 😖

[rentisme]

0:10 my favourite part "v nemanye v- oh" she did too many v nemanyes I'm imagining

[jesusrytps]

"an adverse radiation conditions evolve" is the part that breaks me

[RamonaVirus]

The fact they thought this would only require a "temporary evacuation" is so sad.

[USARWiki]

The sad thing is that citizens won't know that, that "temporarily evacuate" will long for 20K years and they won't see their houses again.

[jjg]

playing through chernobylite and theres a part where if your just exploring around youll see these guys in biohazard gear and hear the attention attention message its pretty terrifying in the game i couldnt imagine hearing that irl

[MrGuyJacks]

>"Temporarily evacuate"
>"15 days to flatten the curve"

[SPSSkals]

and they never returned to their homes.

[paillettecnc]

I always wanted to hear that announcement but never managed to find a recording of it. Thanks.

Where did you find it?

[Auroral_Anomaly]

Up until the 1990s they were actually planning to return to pripyat.

[bpdbhp]

The fact that she said temporary 3 times tells you enough

[karlhjorth]

Whos listening to this on April 26th 2025?

[TheC.O.-VISIT]

I was waiting for "and may the odds be ever in your

[jimhughes]

The person making the announcement probably had no idea of the severity of the situation, hence her calm demeanour.

[modkip]

Kind of weird to listen to today, I have no idea how i would have reacted if I would've heard this in that situation

[alldayproductions]

It’s been 35 years, they told us to evacuate temporary but we never came back, We miss our homes, we have moved somewhere else now.





fanmade speech of one of the families living at Pripyat and was evacuated

[cerita_story]

[ilovohio]

Currently in East Palestine, OH and it feels oddly similar...
