[edit] Eerie red glow from the pine trees?
The source cited says "Four square kilometres of pine forest in the immediate vicinity of the reactor went ginger brown and died, earning the name of the Red Forest." There's no mention of an eerie red glow. That's a description from a science fiction novel. And this article was featured in the 'Did you know...' section today. When I saw this on the Wikipedia main page, I thought that it was a late entry for April Fool's Day. Ninquerinquar 21:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Красная Пуща
"Красная Пуща" doesn't return many hits on Google search... Camptown 23:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think it was translated using something like Babelfish. It should probably be "Красный Пес". Alekjds talk 00:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merging with excisting article
I think this article is a little short to be on it's own.
Merging it with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster_effects would probably be a good idea. Even 18:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
