Opachychi

Opachychi (Ukrainian: Опачичі) was a village in Vyshhorod Raion, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.

The permanent population was evacuated following the 1986 accident, and officially the village was liquidated (i.e. excluded from the list of settlements of Kyiv Oblast) in 1999.

However, despite radioactive contamination a few residents (samosely) have returned to live there, and as of 28 March 2006 the population was 19.
