Opening of the New School Year in Muslyumovo
Opening of the new school year and welcoming of the new highschool students at Muslyumovo (-station). The village has been contaminated with radio-active material from 1947 until the early fifties when the Mayak Chemical Nuclear Complex dumped their radio-active waste in the Techa River which flows through Muslyumovo. Techa river is still highly radio-active, it is forbidden to swim, or drink from the river or grow vegetables at the banks. The village was never evacuated, most of its inhabitants are sick because of the radiation.

Mayak Victims Documentation
Photographer Robert Knoth visited Mayak and its surrounding villages in 2000 and 2001. His black and white photographs capture the ordinariness of day-to-day life while at the same time reminding us that this is far from a 'normal' community. Knoths moving portrayal of a community living in one of the most radioactively contaminated places in the world, will be accompanied by testimonies from the people of Mayak collected by humanitarian journalist Antoinette De Jong, who accompanied Knoth.
