I want to show you something, comrades.

A unique selection of Soviet press articles about the Chernobyl accident fell into my hands. Dozens of clippings, huge material collected from 1986 to 1988.

Just look at it.

I just have to turn this stuff into something worthwhile. Maybe even a book.

Chernobyl 26.04.1986-26.04.2022

Time flies.

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident.

It is difficult to shape thoughts. It is difficult now, after so many years, to reproduce everything that people were thinking about then. What they aspired to, what they lived for.

And people were different. It’s true.

Reading numerous testimonies of bravery, selflessness, courage… throwing away lies, tears, the pain of loss and sorrow, I ask myself again: if this accident happened again now, what would happen?

And I think the answer lies even in these days.

Because this question is not only about the accident, the damage, the dead, the culprits - it is a question of unity, consolidation of peoples - in the sake of a safe world.

Do most people need such a world now - ?

I want to believe that yes.

They need, of course, they do.

I’d like to quote here the doctor’s words that appeared in the play about Valery Legasov: «the task of every person is to prolong life.» Your own life - with working, taking care of yourself. Your children and loved ones - with love and care for them. Keeping the memory of the departed, we also prolong their life, because a person is alive as long as he is remembered.

It’s good that we remember.

35 years ago, on this day, November 30, 1986, the Shelter, also known as the Sarcophagus, was commissioned.

A huge reinforced concrete structure designed to conquer the “peaceful atom” so that after that it wouldn’t harm anyone.

Eternal memory to those who took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster.

Hello, dear comrades!

I hope you are in good health and mood.

Today I’d like to share with you a book about Chernobyl that I recently bought, and it took its place on my Chernobyl bookshelf (tbh, there is no space left there).

It is called “Ймення зорi Чорнобиль» (The name of the star Chernobyl).

This book-photo-album was released in 1996 in honor of the tenth anniversary of the accident. Captions are written in Ukrainian, and since I have been very interested in this language lately, it is a great pleasure for me to read them.

Here are some pictures from the book.

The book also published a letter from Valery Khodemchuk’s mother to her son.

And I couldn’t hold back the tears while reading it…
