I was graduating high school and soon to be in the military when the Chernobyl accident occurred. Within two-years, I’d find myself stationed in Northen Bavaria defending the West German-Czech border and just a day’s drive from Chernobyl. Until now, I had no idea the extent to which radiation had made its way into Western and Southern Europe, nor did I know just how close the plant came to total destruction which would’ve instantly killed 10’s of millions and many more than that over time. How could I have known? The flow of information was stifled by the Soviets. This is a highly informative, remarkably dramatic story! And I agree with Mazin that the subservient Russians were uniquely qualified for the kind of suicidal heroism required to ‘solve’ the crisis. This probably could not have happened in America. But if it did, we could not have done what had to be done to mitigate the damage.
