<div id="ygrps-yiv-445169899">I&#39;ve found that government document again (for those that can read <br/>
Russian: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.akdi.ru/econom/nalog/666.htm">http://www.akdi.ru/econom/nalog/666.htm</a> ). The two villages <br/>
are included in the list &quot;List of towns in areas that are affected by <br/>
radioactive contamination following the Chernobyl and other radiation <br/>
catastrophes, on which territories for the enterprises and <br/>
organisations that reside there (that are displaced) reductions for <br/>
tax on profits are established&quot;, in the first section of that list <br/>
called &quot;Evacuation Zone&quot;. That might well mean that not only no-one <br/>
is living there anymore, but also that it is a no-go area...<br/>
<br/>
A pity, really....<br/>

&gt; None whatsoever. It&#39;s very difficult to find anything about <br/>
&gt; San&#39;kovo/Medvezhe on the internet. The only Russian site that <br/>
&gt; mentions it is a government site saying that it is a hazardous area <br/>
&gt; because of the Chernobyl radiation contamination...<br/>

&gt; Here the two villages are called San&#39;kov (without the o) and <br/>
&gt; Medvezhe. &quot;San&#39;kova&quot; is a typo, by the way.<br/>

&gt; &gt; Everyone:<br/>
&gt; &gt; I&#39;ve just received a query from an American traveller who is <br/>
&gt; planning <br/>
&gt; &gt; to go to Belarus this year, and is also hoping to visit the <br/>
Sankova-<br/>
&gt; &gt; Medvezhe Russian enclave while he is there. He is (not <br/>
&gt; surprisingly) <br/>
&gt; &gt; having difficult in finding anyone who knows any practical <br/>
details <br/>
&gt; &gt; concerning access to the area.<br/>
&gt; &gt; <br/>
&gt; &gt; Can anyone here offer guidance?<br/>
