A detailed close-up of a Chernobyl liquidator's gas mask, capturing its authentic Soviet-era design with weathered, rounded lenses, thick rubber seals, and sturdy, worn straps. The mask is encrusted with layers of ash and dirt from the reactor's fallout, giving it a gritty texture. The metal clasps and buckles show signs of rust, hinting at years of exposure. A hint of faded yellow paint, once a mark of affiliation, can be seen peeling off the forehead area, adding to the mask's haunting history.
