Let's hope they didn't LITERALLY build anything with the ashes.

Tonia at a house in Slavutich, Ukraine - the town hurredly built for the former residents of Pripyat, which was evacuated after the Chernobyl disaster and remains a ghost town.

Slavutich is divided up into several sections, each of which was "gifted" by a different Soviet republic and given the characteristics of that country's traditional architecture.

The money ran out when the Soviet Union collapsed, and these lovely houses in the last section scheduled were never finished. They're from one of the Baltic states. Nobody even knew which one.
