Horse running through Muslumovo's main street.
Dutch photo-journalist, Robert Knoth, visited the Mayak region in 2000 and 2001.

Join us in looking at a body of work that is Mayak. There could be hundreds of photographs more but the statement of shame would remain the same. Robert has shown us, without over emphasis in personal style and technique, a clear image of an existence that a government and industry would best like forgotten.

Each of the following images tells a different aspect of the Mayak Story. Click on the small images for larger versions.
