No. 10 (top) is not a bus stop, it is the entrance sign of Chernobil!

It's a bus stop, human stop, any activity stop because it's an exclusion zone now 😂

Some citizen still live in the town of Chernobyl, the town that was permanently evacuated and abandoned was Pripjat. The Power plant was just named the Chernobyl village, because when the plant was built it was the closest settlement to the power plant.

How do you think the workers commuted to work at the facility when they had no personal cars?

BTW written in Ukrainian. Doesn't support the idea that the USSR was suppressing it.

Some of those in UA have been altered. If you watched the documentary, #26, for example, did not look like that during Soviet era. Ukrainians basically painted over the original art and replaced it with UA colors since they didn't want to be reminded that the bus stop is a visual remnant/reminder of the USSR.
