Horses by dyke at the River Moustva, Tsjerablichy 2016. As mechanized transport becomes more prevalent in the central Pripet Marshes, more and more small-holders have given up using horses. It is thus even more of a welcome sight to see some of the remaining horses in Tsjerablichy grazing by the dyke. The dyke was erected after the great flood of 1979 as part of the continuing Soviet effort to “ameliorate” Europe’s largest stretch of wetlands, an “amelioration” which has wreaked severe damage on the Pripet Marshes.
