You may argue the charm and beauty of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. world can only be understood in full by the ex-USSR residents.

On behalf of GSC Game World, we would like to apologize for any inconveniences caused.

A quarter century ago at 1:23 a.m. an extremely powerful heat explosion happened at the Chernobyl NPP, resulting in over a hundred tons of radioactive substances thrown out into the environment. The fallout equaling the explosion of 500 Hiroshima bombs dropped in 1945, it changed the lives of hundreds of thousands witnesses and liquidators of the disastrous accident for good.

Today we express our deep respect and gratitude towards these courageous and selfless people who have protected us from the trouble.
Thank you... Let's have a moment of silent grief and remember the ones who are no longer with us.

On behalf of GSC development team, let us send our spring greetings of the International Women's Day of March 8! May this warm sunny day bring you joy and love! We wish you happiness!
