“The Bell of Chernobyl”: a film about the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster

The next anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant named after V. I. Lenin has arrived - the largest radiation disaster in stories humanity. It just so happened that on this mournful and memorable day it is customary to write and talk a lot about the causes of what happened, the scale of the damage caused and the elimination of the consequences of a thermal explosion of a nuclear reactor.

We offer you to watch the Soviet film “The Bell of Chernobyl”, filmed between May and September 1986, actually on the battlefields with an invisible enemy - radiation.



There are no abstruse terms and a huge pile of difficult-to-master information, which easily turns into an ingredient for porridge in the head of an unprepared viewer. But there are videos depicting the work of the liquidators, stories of local residents of the Chernobyl, Polesie and Narovlya regions, the construction of a sarcophagus for the destroyed 4th power unit of the nuclear power plant and much more.

Being a unique collection of footage of post-accident life in the Chernobyl zone and the process of fighting the peaceful atom that had gone out of control, the film “The Bell of Chernobyl” was shown in almost all countries where there is television. He also received many international awards, including:

“Silver Plate” of the XIX International Documentary Film Festival in Nyon (Switzerland);

“Silver Dolphin” at the Troy International Documentary Film Festival (Portugal);

“Crystal Prize” of the XXX International Festival of Documentary and Short Films in Leipzig (Germany).
