Chernobyl and its Aftermath



I’m interested to a great extent in the history of the USSR and thus, that of the post-soviet region. The Chernobyl incident not only destroyed the lives of many people, but it also was one of the last blows given to the Soviet Union’s economy, thus (significantly) contributing to its disintegration. Belarus has been the most affected by the radioactive contamination unfortunately. Though the cultivation of different goods had always been important, the catastrophe as such set the production back a lot.



I don’t want to write in great details about the whole matter, since tremendous amount of information is available on the subject. I just advise you to watch this uncanny and outstanding documentary of the catastrophe. You can find it on the following link:
