The about 454 hectars (4.5 km˛) big Russian exclave village
of San'kova-Medvezh'e is situated east of the Byelorussian city of Homel, north
of the M10 highway, 5 km from the Russian village of Dobrodjevka.
Due to the explosion in the nuclear power plant in Černobyl in 1986 this area is polluted and abandoned.
