Women at a Funeral near Muslyumovo
Women at the funeral of a girl who came from their village. The girl was lucky to get a job in Chelyabinsk and escape the polluted areas around Mayak, but she became the victim of a robbery and was murdered at her home. Because of the very bad economic situation crime has risen in the area. The women on the photo are waiting for the men to finish the ceremony and burial of the girl. After the men have left, they are allowed to visit the grave and lay flowers, according to local tradition.

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.
