As a result of the accident, about 5 million hectares of land were taken out of agricultural use, an 30-kilometer exclusion zone was created around the NPP, hundreds of small settlements were destroyed and buried (buried with heavy equipment). And in the early days the government did not want to disclose and recognize the accident, the city residents did not even know what had happened and instead of evacuating, they just ran to take a look at the fire.

After the accident at the 4 power unit, the operation of the power plant was suspended due to a dangerous radiation situation. However, already in October 1986 of the year, after extensive work on decontamination of the territory and construction of the “sarcophagus”, the 1 and 2 units were re-commissioned; in December 1987, the work of 3 was resumed.

It is hard to imagine that a person, having worked all his life for the improvement of his house, lost everything in a flash, and he had to leave, leaving everything acquired, together with his dreams of a good future, with the motto: “State means mine!” To nowhere . And even harder to imagine that this is not one person, and not one family, but entire cities.

On the horizon you can see the previously classified object called “Chernobyl 2”, the over-the-horizon radar “Duga”. This huge antenna was the pride of the Soviet Union, it allowed to detect the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the United States even when starting engines.
