Belarussian women meet at a cemetery during “Radunitsa”, or the Day of Rejoicing, a holiday in the Eastern Orthodox Church to remember the dead, in the abandoned village of Orevichi, near the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, southeast of Minsk, April 21, 2015. Every year residents, who left their villages after the Chernobyl blast, gather at the cemeteries for a day to visit their relatives' graves, and to meet with former friends and neighbours. Belarus, Ukraine and Russia will be marking the 29th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor explosion, the world's worst civil nuclear accident which took place on April 26, 1986.
