    In case you're wondering, the Russian phrase at the end translates to, "Watch out for the world. Rest in peace."

      In cause you want an opinion of a native speaker, it was the phrase "rest in peace" repeated first in Ukrainian, then in Russian. Although the phrase was obviously taken from Google Translate, for "відпочивати" is a noun that means a respite, not eternal rest. Should have been "Вічна пам'ять" (approximate translation - "Forever remembered"), which is more common one. If author wanted "Rest in peace", "Спочивайте з миром/у покої" would be his best bet.
      Really appreciate the effort though.

      @@jehovasabettor9080 He wrote it said: Watch out for the world. Rest in piece. Since I am Croatian, we say it almost the same Počivajte u miru. He tried to say something similar but anded up he said: Vi počovajte s moirom (like woman name). I suppose he was closer with Ukrainian: Pokojte se s mirom, I belive Slovenians said it same way, and they are playing smart all time.

    It is kinda ironic that the name Dyatlov has somehow become associated with disaster.
    There's Anatoly Dyatlov, who was in charge of the Chernobyl reactor test. And then there's Igor Dyatlov, the leader of the hikers who would all perish in what would be known as Dyatlov's Pass.

    One can only honour the memory of those incredibly courageous men and women who sacrificed their health and later their lives in their attempt to minimize the dangers omitted from the destroyed nuclear power station. If the stories of the "Blackbird" are true, then they are indeed very similar to the "Mothman" sightings in the USA and of the creature allegedly seen in Japan before and after the nuclear power plant disaster which happened there a few years ago at Fukushima. Fact or myth ? Who knows, but are these sightings possibly a variant of the "Grim Reaper" so often allegedly seen at places of great human suffering over millennia ? The description fits to a certain extent. I wonder....!!!

    In Russian, "Chernobyl" means "wormwood," a type of plant which grows in abundance around Pripyat (the city where Chernobyl is located), and which is known for its bitterness.
    Book of Revelation, chapter 8
    "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."
    Incidentally, wormwood is also used to flavor absinthe.

    Interesting... I'll have to do some research on this. Especially since some of what you've said contradicts other sources.
    * I've heard a power surge causes the safety test, which was being run properly, to fail and that led to the explosion.
    * I've never heard reports of the mothman doing anything more than scaring the crap out of people
    * The mothman was seen for 13 months leading up to the collapse of the bridge
    As for the hauntings, Chernobyl is exactly the kind of place that would be haunted. Ghost are often of people who die suddenly and/or violently, so if ghosts exist (and I think they do) there are probably a lot of them there.

The black bird of Chernobyl to me was a real thing, if it came from a dimension just beyond ours is possible were it came from, I don't know for sure but I feel it was real at a place and event that was nearly unreal to imagine it was happening.
    I found the story line drawings to be excellent , I don't real know how you created the helicopter instrument panel on one of the drawings but it was like you could almost read the gauges,,, like they where backlit as in real life.

    The only blackbird of Chernobyl I know is a girl with a big red eye in the middle of her chest, dressing white and green, one hand is a nuclear control rod, left leg orbited by electrons, right leg is the Chernobyl elephant foot. She got massive wingspan and wear a cape that's white on the outside and the universe on the inside

    when are you guys going to cover the super serpent from the south east rim of lake Okeechobee?
    between the mysterious troves of human remains to the multiple eye witness accounts and even the old news story from the 50's. seems like it would be right up your alley. my dad once even saw something strange there.
