THE CHERNOBYL CHILD


Igor Kostin discovered this deformed child in a special school for abandoned children in Belarus. The photo, published in the local Belarus press, named the boy "The Chernobyl Child". Following the publication of the image in German magazine "Stern", the photo appeared throughout the world and the child was adopted by a British family. The boy underwent several operations carried out by a British surgeon and is now living a relatively normal life and going to school.
