Chornobyl – russia’s Nuclear Terror in Ukraine
Regarded as the world’s most dangerous nuclear accident,
Chornobyl stands out in history as another example of russia’s premeditated or
negligent murder in Ukraine. Ukrainians and other people around the world
suffered as a result of this catastrophe in a small town north of Kyiv on April
26, 1986. Soviet russian officials quickly learned of this but chose not to
inform local residents and the global community. Consequently, children in and
around the Ukrainian capital continued with their daily outdoor activities
while fine particles of nuclear dust descended on them. In time, this dangerous
powder reached western Ukraine, north to Belarus and other regions of the
planet.
A decade later, when I was an adjunct at Hofstra University,
I wrote an article about this disaster for my students’ periodical. I’d like to
share that article with you on the 37th anniversary of the russia’s
typical deadly malfeasance in Ukraine.
