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 37^th anniversary of the russia’s typical deadly malfeasance in Ukraine.
