Yevgeny Markevich is one of the few inhabitants of the Chernobyl exclusion zone. The area remains heavily contaminated, 35 years after the world’s worst nuclear disaster unfolded in April 1986. But the risk of radiation exposure has not kept the 85-year-old from living in the place he has called home since 1945.

85 year old man.
Survived world war 2 = done
Survived Chernobyl = done
Survived 2020 = done
Survive death: done?
@@madharambe3264 how can we call it death when you survived it 👁️👄👁️
@@IcefPr. power over death, ruler of death, or King of Life. All great titles!

@Aztaps you must be quite happy in republics then huh?
This old man is the true S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Not only he sneak into the exclusion zone like a champ, he also survived there with the 100 others. Mad respect.
Beat me to it
how did he survive from mutant attack?
Do you think his wife is Boris's babushka?
@@Shin1_42 in Ukrainian " babusya"...
Babushka - in Moscowiten language
Cheeki breeki iv damke!
Not even the radiation and COVID can stop this man from living.
I think COVID can’t get there
@@bobmorane2082 YOWWW what happens if covid came into contact with radiation. Would it make people zombies?
@@Ellie-qv4pu nah
@@Ellie-qv4pu yes.
Can radiation eliminate covid?
That's a rumour alright
"The area is deemed unsafe for human habitation for up to 20,000 years"
You know my man Yevgeny will still be living there by that time.
he is 85 and healthy like that, already a blessing.
@Aztaps bot
Wow what an amazing old man! He defied all the odds by not getting cancer or any health issues from the radiation ☢️
It takes longer for those to develop than he probably has left. PLUS once you are already old your whole body is going through much less cell division, giving fewer chances for the radiation damage to turn into tumors. So basically the damage moves slower in old people and their remaining natural life span is probably not as long as it would take to develop serious cancers anyway.
@@MrLoobu Also some people just have amazing genetics. Nobody can buy those from store.
Even in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (after US A-bombs) were people who survived and live very long
Well, he's not living in Pripyat, where the plant was, and the spread was more or less contained and limited to the town itself. The surrounding area is contaminated to a degree but much less than the town itself. And the amount of actual and direct victims of the disaster was limited to little over a 100 people, yet, as a result of the psychological impact of this tragic accident the danger is oftenly overestimated.
@@gytisgytis5547 Obviously, if you are mobile and healthy into your 80s you have "superior genetics", thats why all cultures (traditionally) respected their elders, time has proven them to be the strongest. Thats besides the fact they are also resistant to radiation and other carcinogenic poisons. Of course if you live long enough everyone will get cancer, but thats also besides the point.
The music really made it seem like he was finna start revealing his radioactive superpowers
In the last shot of him, it really looked a lot like the air was distorting around him.
After watching chernobyl series it scares me. But I guess no matter how scary it is your land will always close to your heart
True
things are often overexaggerated in melodramas like chernobyl
@@canadianradiochemist4465 melodrama? Chernobyll is tge best factual show I've ever seen
@@samoptimus4228 in case you don't know what melodrama means, it means that it's overexaggerated to influence peoples emotions
@@canadianradiochemist4465 yes ik and that's why i commented
He's lucky, less crime over his place
When you break into this guys house and you hear “KURVA!” followed by the cocking of a shotgun.
@@DIY_DISASTERZ u mean cyka
1:16 Clarification: The power plant itself is supposed to be inhabitable for 40,000 years, and the immediate surroundings will also be dangerous for a long time, but most of the exclusion zone is actually pretty safe to live in, the radiation is comparable to a bad day in a normal city.
Stalker may leaves the Zone, but the Zone never leaves Stalker
It's also sad that it's not like it was before like we were used to
That makes me sad
Arent we all in the same situation after covid? It's sad yeah
you could see the sadness in his eyes.
@@lisa-wv2qj similar, but not same. That incident was horrible and traumatic. Covid 19 is nothing if you compare it with Chernobyl disaster
50,000 people used to live here... Now it's a ghost town..
All Ghillied Up
They have an Outback Steak House a half mile up the road... sooooo... it's not all bad.
green steak
It's probably better then Dollar tree steak lol
I hope this family is safe
85 and still looks so healthy
RESPECT to you sir. I hope you and your loved ones have a long happy and healthy life ahead ❤
He’s 85. He’s already living a long and healthy life.
That's amazing. Props to this man and everybody else still toughing it out, despite what happened here in history.
Surprised to see a video about my country on this chanel, let alone one made with respect about such a serious topic. I went to Chernobyl and Prypyat a few years ago on a university trip. It's a very sad place, I cannot even imagine what its inhabitants went through.
@Aztaps oh boy the anti-democratic troll
@Aztaps you are a straight up fool.
Sad and horrific for the hundred families that reside in the chernobyl zone. I can't believe it is unliveable for 20,000 years. I feel sorry for the men who got killed turning off the reactors if not it would be much worse.
I dont get whats the point of some people eagerly commenting “first” in utube.. isnt that ur comments will get buried under all the new comments and nobody will saw it anymore ?
He looks great ! He and his wife are immune to radiation
Not possible but there isnt that much radiation in the air. There is alot of objects with high radiation levels. Touching will give you a high radiation dose and game over you touched it now you got exposed to it.
Welp, time to binge watch Bald and Bankrupt's exclusion zone videos again.
Yelp, specially the Kolya one
@@nimitaszia2674 Actually two he went back to see him again.
@Aztaps So you would prefer to live in a society where you have no say in who runs your country and your opinion doesn't matter at all or the fact that you can be punished and /or jailed just for having an opposing view. Democracy may not be perfect but it works well in most countries, I pity you.
I've seen some of the places in this video where Shiey showed while he's exploring Chernobyl, this man home must've been close to where Shiey was when Shiey was exploring, i think.
Yeah I saw that video with Shiey too
Who's shiey? Which channel ?
@@travelworld2738 Shiey is the name of the channel and the dude who runs it goes to all these cool abandoned places and looks through them
I don't know why this reminded me of a Netflix show called Dark. The nuclear plant looks similar to it and just the vibe this town gives is similar.
Yea it's quite similar actually I think in the show it is also a nuclear wasteland
predictive programming
This guy looks like he could Head, Eyes me from 200 meters away with that level of badassery
There are lots of people living in areas contaminated by Chernobyl - mostly in countries to the north, because that's the way the wind was blowing. Most of them live there because they're poor, and not through choice. Health issues (thyroid cancer amongst them, especially in children), are more prevalent in these zones than elsewhere.
as they say here in Russia - where he was born, there he came in handy. How much the word - "home" means to this person. my respect. 💙
Moscow Horde 🇷🇺 is a oldest enemy for Ukraine🇺🇦.
@@faidh8 Ukraine + Russia = fraternal peoples 🤗💙 as well as Belarus, Kazakhstan and other former socialist republics that were part of the USSR (I think so) if someone thinks differently... Go 4CK yourself 🤗🤗
I have friends in Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, it's easy to be friends 👌😉
@@user-kp4lv8qp2m No we're not
@@user-cu8xv8hv2r from a person with such a "nickname" I did not expect anything else. hmm, did you even carefully read what I wrote? if yes, then you know where you need to go. and if not, then read it again more attentively, and go.🤗🤗🤗
@@user-kp4lv8qp2m Ukrainians and Russians share a lot in common culturally, mentally, spiritually. Sometimes I can't even say whether it's Ukraine or Russia. Mass media want them to split though.
Plot twist: Since this is Chernobyl, the 85-year old is Life of Boris
(no offence).
Why would that be offensive?
@@utisti4976 I was thinking that their ages don't match up.
What a coincidence I was just watching about Chernobyl before this came out
It’s on crave ^
this man ain’t catching corona, corona is catching him
Uh.......?
@@sensn90 yeah the joke doesn't translate well when applied to a virus
@@ilovefunnyamv2nd yeah
y’all must be fun at parties
@@alrightuwin1398 I wouldn't know, anything precovid has been repressed. It's the only way to avoid crippling depression. I'd consider therapy... but you know, covid
Ah yis, Artyom friend after finding his new found peaceful place within the heart of exclusion zone
You mean Strelok?
Hope he’s ok now considering the war going on
You can see the memories on his face :(
COVID: *I fear no man. But that thing, it scares me.*
This guy is so awesome. I hope he lives a LONG LONG time and a happy life.
This man and his wife are an absolute legend!
absolute legends even.
This takes "Get off my lawn" to a whole other level. Love these stubborn old men.
He must’ve outlived Mr. Nevercracker
I been wondering about all the elderly that live at Chernobyl since the Russians stormed their homes 😢 does anyone know if they got out
I came here looking for info on them also :( hope they made it!
85 in Chernobyl and still does some work around!
China: JAPAN!! DO NOT RELEASE THE FUKUSHIMA WATER!! IT CONTAINS RADIATION...
China: Also shows a man living perfectly fine in Chernobyl exclusion zone...
Just because he lives happily in a contaminated area doesn't mean there aren't consequences to it :/ I don't think most people would be able to survive in the conditions he's living in.
He looks and speaks as a 50 yo human. Astonishingly.
It said the radiation fence is 19 miles out of Chernobyl.still after 40 years he and his wife have survived there.
Most of the areas aren't that dangerous anymore.Soon they will change the zone map.Also you get more exposure to radiation flying in a plane then you would receive in the exclusion zone.
I thought it was about Kolya.
'ah yes, come on in, this is my 8 legged dog, such a dear'
The effects of radiation would take years to surface... this man being 85, figured that he doesn't have that many years ahead of him and that he would be long gone before that happens. However, there is a possibility that he could live another 15 years, and suffer the effects of radiation before his death.
And he has a mask like he’s worried about Covid, but living in a radiation zone is fine? Haha
His mutation is to became immune to anything.
The man that stood up to cancer n said NO, u cannot attack my body in anyway with all this radiation.. I was made perfectly heathy
yeah right.
2:52 always correct 2:56 reality to face n accept it.. So 😔
This is Chornobyl.
And the man's name is Yevgen.
You wanna know what the queen of England and this man have in common?
Immortality
Considering what japan is going to do with the nuclear water, I think this video has SOME meaning.
So what they’re telling us has been a lie and this man is proving it
Он явно моложе, чем написано
That's so sad. I hope he stays safe and healthy.
He looks quite happy to me :/
This guy has to be immortal to live in the radiation-filled Chernobyl exclusion zone and live to 85 (without health complications!)
Hope he is doing well
I imagine before the accident, Buddy could go into town and easily buy what ever stuff wasn't available in his village, but now I imagine he either has to make what he has last with repairs or some how get imports into the zone.
exactly 68 more samos live in the exclusion zone. regards
everybody gangsta till he lives for 400 years.
Price and MacMillan probably already met him
Dudes just wandering outside with enormous contrations of radiations and no issues. Same with his dog, just completely immune to it. Yall gotta remember he hasn't been 85 forever, so there was a great physiological chance of him being affected in his younger years. He's an absolute warrior though. Gotta respect the old school guys, they don't act like birches or make excuses
If I do visit the power plant I'm showing up in a hazmat suit
and he drives a lada, what a mad lad
You die of old age when you respect your calling.
Ohh that yellow clock ⏰ on his cars dashboard at 0:36. Fantastic living
His smile is lovely
this is bald's favorite places
I was hoping I’d see a Bald reference here!
@@TheBirdyyeses bald makes this place his walk in the park lol
@@TheBirdyyeses Loved the video when he goes to that old grandmas house in Belarus i think. And when she puts the food on the table
I remember seeing this before and someone commenting that these 2 are like npcs in an abandoned town that can't be killed by anything
The question is how they filmed it
I think they took footage from an older interview or something
He can count from 1 to 11
He's car has ran beautifully on radiation
1:20 someone was very inspired by mortal combat "Finish Himmmm!"
I miss you 🥺
I mean hey it's a safe neighborhood. No robber wants to turn into a mutant going into that zone
Nothing to rob either...😆
I want to move here for my chemotherapy if I ever get diagnosed for cancer at 70 years.
Not advisable. Chemo is targeted radiation, which destroys both healthy and unhealthy cells. A general dose of it across your entire body will just increase your risk for cancer in all parts of your body.
living in the Chernobyl exclusion zone is better than living in Portland Oregon USA.
This man drinks the radiation filled water as a protein drink blin
Strong Independent man.
You don’t look a day over 70!
If you're 85, I guess glowing in the dark is nothing.
Be a great retirement home for anti social people, and legitimately not that dangerous for someone already advanced in age.
Bro living the life like it's metro
Seeing this, I immediately thought of The 100 tv series. Their descendants (if they decided to still live in Chernobyl) will probably adapt to the radiation over the span of time living there.
okay but are we gonna talk about the camera man walking around with him?
just tell me if he managed to tame a pseudodog and keep it as a pet
Who is hype for 22021 when people can live in cherynobl again?
Most of eastern europe still looks like this and will for another 1000 years
Can we applaud scmp for risking radiation and going to the exclusion zone just to talk to my man
Ah he survived the bombing of Verdansk, well done comrade
One time home always home
The type of guy that would be the last one standing at final circle of Verdansk.
Anyone feeling like it's Artyom from metro exodus?
This man is metro exodus
0:11 Cordon , Rookie Village
I cant find this guy in the game
0:06
Ah, s***, (here we go again)
He still alive and living there since the Ukraine/Russia war started?
I would assume so. The West isn't interested in Ukraine apart from it being a convenient border from which to attack Russia. NATO and The US started this in 2014.
Old man strength!
