Chernobyl, history of disaster. Higginbots A.

On the night of April 26, 1986, the reactor No. 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, laying the beginning of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. Based on more than ten years of work, records of hundreds of conversations, on personal correspondence, unrelated memories and recently declassified archival documents, journalist Adam Higgin Botam wrote a birch soul and an exciting work in which we see the Chernobyl disaster through the eyes of its first witnesses. The result was an expertly made documentary thriller, an exhausting report on an event that changed the story - much more complex, humane and frightening than the myth of Chernobyl to which we are used to.

“Chernobyl: the history of the catastrophe” is an indelible picture of one of the greatest misfortunes of the 20th century and at the same time a document of human stamina and ingenuity, evidence of heavy lessons learned by mankind trying to subordinate nature to their will - lessons that are in the face of the advancing climate changes and other threats of modernity look not just important, but vital.
