“PULSAR” – A GROUP OF THE CITY OF PRIPYAT

"Pulsar" - a group from the city of Pripyat
The accident that occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986, caused a lot of grief for the inhabitants of Polesie. All cities and villages within a radius of 30 km from the famous station were abandoned by residents due to a life threat.
The explosion in the fourth reactor affected numerous territories. Most of all the cities went to Pripyat, a city located just a few kilometers from the nuclear power plant. 50 thousand people were forced to leave their homes forever.
25 years - the average age, at the time of the tragedy, those who were not destined to return to their monastery. One of the youngest and most beautiful cities of the USSR was covered by radiation and can be said to be buried under a layer of radioactive dust. Even after many days of work on the burial of radiation soil and decontamination, the city was not able to return residents to their homes. All evacuated residents said goodbye to the city of Pripyat forever.
In the hearts and memories of people there are many memories of the past of the city. Each city has its own story, its own celebrities, its own musical groups, its own customs. Creative people are everywhere. Pripyat was no exception. Even for a short time, but the city has its own musical groups and discos, which we will talk about later. One of the most famous groups was the rock band "Pulsar" from the city of Pripyat. |
Concerts of a rock band from Pripyat are remembered by almost all adult residents of the city. The Pripyat group “Pulsar” performed at all events, be it Victory Day or May Day, November 7 or February 23. To date, very little is known about the rock band from the city of Pripyat. There are rare photographs from concerts held by the residents of the city of Pripyat at that time, and recordings on bobbins by the same residents, maybe even someone has audio tapes from the Pulsar rock band. The city of Pripyat has always been advanced in terms of new products and supplies. The young city of Pripyat was supplied on a par with Kiev and Moscow. In times of continuous deficit in Pripyat, one could acquire without problems much that was not available in other cities. It’s hard to find the songs of the Pulsar band.
We got only one song, the name of which is the Dusty Reflection of the Soul. It is worth saying that for that time it was very good, high-quality music.
