„Those in the exclusion zone compared their battle against radiation to a war, the major difference being that they could not see the enemy,“ wrote Serhii Plokhy, professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard University in his book Chernobyl: History of a Tragedy. - Who was responsible for the distaster? - What did Soviets managers try to avoid the most? - Those affected in the first hours and days, tried to warn their families.  - It was not just the radiation. Silence was killing too. - In Chernobyl, nobody could believe what happened. For them explosion of a reactor was never an option. - What would be concequences if other three reactor exploded too? - People in Czechoslovakia learnt about the disasater 4 days after the exploation. There was a short article on page 7 in Rudé právo. - Nowadays - unfortunally - nuclear power plants are targeted by Russian in war in Ukraine.  - And how did he personally feel in 1986, when he was in Ukraine?
