Battle(s) for Kiev

MikeP · Apr 1, 2009

I've always fancied visiting Ukraine and it looks as though a fair bit of the WWII detritus remains to be seen.

Some of you will have seen a link in the past to a website by Elena Filatrova who rides a Kawasaki and has photographed Chernobyl, she also does a lot of digging around Kiev.

This is her website:

and here's the Battle(s) for Kiev stuff:

Make a cuppa and have a read through.

Excellent link, Mike. Like you say it's needs a few cups of tea but well worth it.

Fascinating stuff though a little worrying that all that old ordnance is so easily found

So Elena rides bikes and likes military history??? :kissy2

I could be wrong, but I thought she was found to be a fraud?

Wasn't that the story about having to ride at warp factor 9 near Chernobyl to avoid getting too serious a doeage of rads?

Her 'ride' to Chernobyl never happened. She went there on an organised tour (hence my wording about her riding a Kawasaki - she does, just not to Chernobyl).
