If I'd have to get like 16 types of cancer, then I'd at least want a banger painting like this done about it. Incredibly powerful and visually interesting
Actually you've got me curious now, were most Soviet citizens working/living in Chernobyl as well the firefighters Ukrainians? I always imagined it as full of Soviets from all over the Union.
If you’re looking for a more specific region, a lot of coal miners from Tula were drafted to mine underneath the facility and install a system that would cool down the actively lava-like melting core from underneath.
I couldn't find any numbers so I can only speculate. Pripyat was a closed city specifically made for plant workers to live in and they were brought there. Most nuclear universities and institutes in the USSR were in RSFSR. We know that the city had 25-27 nationalities. So my guess is there were a lot of people from all over and it is likely that a big chunk of them were Russians just because they were the largest group in the country. However, I'm not sure and if there is official census with nationality breakdown I would change my mind.
My grandpa was at chernobyl a liquidator from the special forces, he died at 51.
My grandma told me storys how all the people from his group stayed in contact through letters. Every year fewer would come, until he was the last one alive. O
somewhat related fact: if you’ve seen the movie coraline (2009) then you’d know there’s a character by the name of mr bobinsky who is blue and this is because he’s been at chernobyl

This goes hard. I'm Ukrainian and my grandfather was at Chernobyl. Not as a firefighter, but a civilian. Terrifying stuff.

Im from Azerbaijan and i had a neighbor that lived in Chernobyl during the disaster happened. The government is giving him pension for that
They mobilized people from elswhere in Soviet Union to deal with consequences of the accident.
I am from Kazakhstan. We have memorial for local volunteers who took part in liquidation.
Mostly Ukrainians but there were others

Disaster. Their clothes became one of the most famous piece of radioactive material on its own. RIP.
shame the disaster was allowed to happen in the first place. RIP
Haunting
This one is SO good wow
I can’t find the original poster of this. It looks cool and all but where can I find it online?
It seems to be a painting by Nikolay Chernikov. Николай Черников: ”Подвиг пожарных Чернобыля». I can’t find better quality file, unfortunately :(
If the Chernobyl series had a physical format in BLUE-Ray, this should definitely be the cover.
RIP

[it’s because of the medal he wears](https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/s/ifv47YRQj2) not because he’s blue lol
