Her response to this can be found back at the original site. While it would appear there is a fair amount of "poetic license" about the story, I can't help but think people are missing the important bit. I mean, who gives a crap whether she really rode through the area or not? The pictures are real and the story of what happened is real. This is the part that is disturbing. Prior to reading Elena's story I knew the reactor had blown up, after reading it I know that more than just property was damaged, lives were ruined, and many were ended. It moved me, and that, I think, was the point.

A Russian friend of mine who was one of the "liquidators" at Chernobyl nearly cried when reading the piece.

I don't know. We seem to like to smash things down for no apparant reason.....

whole heartedly agree sparker....

weirdest thing is not that people are going "OMG! it is fake, she didn't ride through" it that they are going "OMG, she's married!!11!!1!!"

take internet protests with a grain of salt.
