The fire and the subsequent disaster of Chernobyl April 26, 1986, was one of the biggest nuclear disaster of all time. Located in Ukraine, which was then a part of The Soviet Union, the Chernobyl accident was poorly managed and covered by a weakening of the government. Svetlana Alexievich's Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a nuclear disaster (translated by Keith Gessen) is a collection of stories and memories that are equal parts history and horror.
The story of the incident Chernobyl are grim at best. A fire started in the nuclear reactor, but there were problems of decommissioning and was allowed to burn. The Soviet Union, not knowing what to do, sent the military, before building a gigantic sarcophagus around the building to contain all the radiation and pollution, and then to clean the rubble and debris from the campaign. An immense amount of radiation was released, and people from the town of Chernobyl have been recruited to help with cleaning the site after the fire and drive trucks to and from the site. After the government realized what was happening, the area was evacuated in a panic, but people went back to collection their hour of vegetables contaminated.
This book is a collection of stories mostly widows of those who have worked in cleaning, and survivors who recount the stories of their childhoods. The interviews were often interrupted by tears, silence and distance. These pages are filled with descriptions of the barren soil years after the disaster, and hospital visits for spouses who can no longer touch each other because of radiation. Some of the most heart-rending stories happen in small villages, after the accident, when older women go back to eat their vegetables, which unknowingly were grown in contaminated soil, and when the wives and mothers serving the contaminated milk, trying to absorb the radiation. Tragic and moving, these stories center around as no one was told of the danger and how their lives have been lost because of the cover-up Moscow.
This is one of the most personal books I've read about Chernobyl. (The Sky Unwashed by Irene Zabytko is another compelling story from that fateful day April.) Voices from Chernobyl is a fantastic set of interviews with people from all walks of life, including some former members of the party. However, it is for the faint of heart or stomach, as the symptoms of radiation poisoning, and death consequences, are described in graphic detail and accuracy.
