ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the universal motives in the interpretation of the Chernobyl heritage and reflects on the role of biographical frame in creating the tour guides' narratives. Examining whether tourism is a tool for coping with the dissonances of heritage or, rather, another factor leading to their intensification, it goes on to focus on the problem of commercialisation of the Zone's heritage and the associated risks and points to the opportunities stemming from the participatory and integrated approach to dissonant heritage.
