Vlad Reznov is a Ukrainian blogger who became famous thanks to his unusual photos and videos. Since his youth, the guy was attracted to risky adventures and travel. He climbed high-rise buildings, explored caves, and then became addicted to forays into the Chernobyl zone. At first, he visited there occasionally, but now he decided to settle down for real. 
Vladislav Reznov is known on social networks as a stalker who has been coming to the Exclusion Zone for many years in a row. 
Reznov visits there occasionally, but sometimes he stays for a long time. And, of course, he shoots cool content, visiting abandoned locations.

Most of the houses from where people were leaving in a hurry, looted - stalkers are constantly coming to the exclusion zone, most of whom are not burdened with moral principles. All the most valuable things were stolen from the houses long ago, and no one needs photo albums. It is even more piercing to see these evidences of a past life, with its joys and sorrows.
The territory of the Chernobyl zone is gradually overgrown with trees and bushes. It is becoming quite difficult to see the buildings behind them, even if you climb up to the roof.

Together with a team of stalkers, Reznov visits people who have not left the exclusion zone, brings them food, helps them prepare firewood for the winter. There are not many Chernobyl victims left after the accident at the nuclear power plant, but they exist. All of them are very elderly people. like this grandma Ganna
At first, Reznov simply visited the exclusion zone, filming videos about abandoned places, and then he even settled in one old house and began to tidy it up.
Of course, the house had broken glass, but overall it was habitable, so Reznov tried to slightly repair it.
The stalker even managed to install electricity in the house, and he described in detail how he did it.
A year ago, Reznov built a dugout, and now he showed what condition it is in.
Last October, the stalker got married, and of course, he is not going to move to Chernobyl forever. But he will not stop visiting the exclusion zone and filming content there. This topic is interesting to both him and his subscribers, of whom Reznov has quite a lot on social networks. The blogger plans to put the hut, which he began to repair, in order so that he will have a place to live the next time he comes to the Chernobyl region.
