VOICES FROM CHERNOBYL - Svetlana Alexievitch Download the document in EnglishListen to the testimony of some of Chernobyl’s survivors.
“Snatches of conversations come back to me... Someone is telling me: - you should not forget that the man standing in front of you is no longer your beloved husband, but a radioactive subject, heavily contaminated. You are not suicidal. Get yourself together!”
Chernobyl. Today, this word recalls a major environmental disaster. But what do we know of the daily human drama, which followed the explosion of the nuclear station? Svetlana Alexievitch invites us into a moving world: the world of the survivors, to whom she finally gives a voice. She presents evidence which makes us discover a terrifying world. The well-known event takes here a whole new dimension. For the first time, let’s hear the tortured voices of Chernobyl.
FILMS AND DOCUMENTARIES
SACRIFICE & NUCLEAR CONTROVERSIES - Wladimir Tchertkoff & Emanuela Andreoli - Alerte verteNuclear Controversies
This film reveals that at the heart of the rich and technologically advanced western civilization, a scientific crime is being perpetuated for the last 20 years under high governmental supervision while the general public remains blissfully unaware and misinformed. An agreement signed by the WHO and the AIEA, promoter of nuclear industry, has knowingly condemned millions of human guinea pigs to experiment new pathologies in their own bodies, in the vast open-roof laboratory that is Chernobyl’s contaminated territories.
Sacrifice
During the night of the 26th of April, 1986 and during the following months, one million men, called liquidators, were thrown up against the raging fire of Chernobyl’s reactor to put out the flames, cover the ruins of the power station blown up by a sarcophagus, and to try to erase the evidences of the disaster that could be seen everywhere: in the power station, in the surrounding villages, on the roads, in the fields. They fought the radionuclide with bare hands, with shovels and hosepipes. Thousands of those men have since died and continue to die today. Soviet scientists calculated that, should the fire of Chernobyl not being extinguished by the 8th of May, the nuclear fuel in fusion would have pierced the subjacent concrete slab, be thrown into the cooling basin and would have caused a nuclear explosion 20 - 50 times more powerful that Hiroshima’s. The whole of Europe would have been inhabitable.
On the 6th of May, the fire was under control thanks to the extreme sacrifice of the liquidators. But they were badly rewarded: Russia, the Ukraine and the Byelorussia gave up on them. The Occident simply ignores them.
