Today is the
30th anniversary of the biggest anthropogenic catastrophe in the history of human
kind. The Chernobyl disaster took place on the 26 April 1986. When I was
growing up in Belarus the notion of ‘Children of Chernobyl’ accompanied us. We
grew up acknowledging the catastrophe, however we still do not know how it has changed
us. For the current Belarusian government the problem of Chernobyl does not
exist. It ignores the disaster, its ‘Children of Chernobyl’ and the millions of
people affected by the catastrophe. How many more lives, diseases and years should
Belarusians pay to know the truth?
