embroidery, 刺繡

Yelyena Muzichenka, 86, stands among examples of her own embroidery at her house on April 6, 2016 in Bartolomeyevka, Belarus. Yelyena is one of four residents still living in Bartolomeyevka, a former village located in southeastern Belarus that in 1986, following the nuclear meltdown of reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant located approximately 170km to the south, was contaminated with radioactive fallout. Authorities concentrated their initial evacuation efforts on communities closer to Chernobyl, but by the early 1990s determined Bartolomeyevka and other nearby villages were not safe, evacuated the residents, raized nearly all the structures and buried the ruins. Today the site remains an exclusion zone and off-limits to visitors, though Lyuba and the few others were eventually permitted to stay. Hundreds of villages in Belarus met a similar fate in the decades after Chernobyl and today approximately 20% of the country remains contaminated to varying degree with fallout including radioactive caesium, strontium and plutonium.
