For as long as he can remember he has been ill. He spends a lot of time in hospital and visiting doctors. Without medicine he will die within a couple of months. The medicine is very expensive and his parents cannot afford them. He is one of Anna Jelena’s protégés. The lawyer has fought court battles for many victims of radioactive pollution against Mayak. So far only two of the estimated affected 250,000 people, Timur and another boy, have won a lawsuit against Mayak. Until now Mayak refuses to pay his medical bills and a compensation. He has to go to court again to get his money.

His black and white photographs capture the ordinariness of day-to-day life while at the same time reminding us that this is far from a 'normal' community. Knoths moving portrayal of a community living in one of the most radioactively contaminated places in the world, will be accompanied by testimonies from the people of Mayak collected by humanitarian journalist Antoinette De Jong, who accompanied Knoth.Related Collections:Mayak Radiation Victims Documentation (Photos & Videos)
