Trenches were dug behind the Yupiter plant, and there...
...we had to bury the cars that were found in the garages...
...
...in Pripyat.
There were about four thousand cars,...
...but not all of them were buried,...
...the best ones we kept to be used...
...at the Kombinat Production Association.
And in these trenches, at least three thousand cars were buried.
The trenches were covered with earth,...
...a bulldozer went over them, crushed those machines, properly.
Nevertheless,...
...they say that now the trenches are half-empty.
The cars have been taken out, units removed...
...many of them.
Well, we found the gearboxes.
In any case, while working in the "Complex".
The "Complex" JV was established in 1986,...
...by the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers.
It translates as follows:
"Specialized enterprise for decontamination and radioactive waste management",...
..."Complex" in Russian.
This enterprise had to fulfill all the decontamination work and after-accident works at Chernobyl NPP.
Here, in the territory of the repository,...
...in addition to motor vehicles, were also motorcycles.
There were approximately three thousand motorcycles.
Those motorcycles were not in such demand as car units.
The reservist is sitting and driving a tank-haul tractor.
This tractor must pull tanks from the battlefield,...
...and here it is crushing the motorcycles and pushing them...
...with its blade into the trench.
Well, you see, here are mainly Zaporozhets cars and Moskvich cars.
But Zhiguli cars...
...we kept for ourselves,...
...and used them for a long time.
However, we invented the internal motorcar plates,...
...we wrote them with oil paint there,...
...hung them at the front...
...and at the rear of the cars, as the usual numbers.
It was forbidden to use them outside the thirty-kilometer zone,...
...but we could move inside this zone.
Those cars and motorcycles were so contaminated that would not pass radiation control.
Neither in the ten-kilometer zone nor in the thirty-kilometer zone.
Therefore, they were buried here.
