Carlos,

I found this in a bookshop in Gomel last year. It is a Belarussian school
atlas, with nice thematic maps of Belrus' physical geography: soils,
agriculture, hydrology, geology, population, administration, etc.
It includes maps of contamination in Belarus now and for the future showing
how the radiation is likely to slowly dissipate.

not sure howyou would get a copy fomr outside Belarus, but presumably a
library dealing with Russian books has an agency that could dig it up?

"Atlas Geografiya Belarusi  9 klas"
Minsk 2005
ISBN 985-6625-25-4
Paperback. In Belarussian
64pp colour thematic maps of Belarus, including caesium and strontium
radioactive contamination from Chernobyl as of 2001 and predicted levels for
2016 and 2046.

cost: 4820 Belarussian rubles. (about US$2)

Highly recommended!

Brendan Whyte
