Women's Day!
7 March 2008
Everyone knows that the Zone is a place for the strong and the brave. There is little room for beauty. Even so, sometimes the Zone is visited by them — the delicate and the tender, those who become equal to other stalkers and walk their own path.
On this day, March 8, we wish to congratulate all woman stalkers, really, the bravest and the most reckless ones, before which we take off our helmets, hoods, and gas masks, as a sign of love and respect. We wish you luck, perseverance, and easy loot.
