The Chernobyl catastrophe occurred more than 30 years ago, but the debate about its causes, consequences and the organization of work to eliminate these consequences does not subside. Chernobyl revealed many problems that go far beyond the Chernobyl theme: ethical, environmental, political. The Soviet system as a whole and even technical progress itself were compromised by the accident in the minds of many. To answer the questions arising in connection with Chernobyl, it is necessary to know what really happened on April 26, 1986.
This book is based on unique materials: interviews, articles and memoirs of Academician Valery Legasov, one of the leaders of the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, who was the first in the USSR and in the world as a whole to analyze the consequences of the disaster and the first to talk about them in detail. In addition to them, the book includes articles on the technological and political aspects of the disaster, written with the use of both modern materials and previously unpublished archival documents. The book will allow the reader to form his/her own opinion about the Chernobyl catastrophe in spite of pseudoscientific theories and politicized populist schemes.
