Here we are discussing the actual events that took place in the past, that took place in ukraine, and what it depends on including our future. Today we will talk about. A very sad date in ukrainian history april 26 every year is the day of remembrance of the victims of the chernobyl disaster, it is the day when, unfortunately, an explosion occurred at the chornobyl Nuclear Power plant, and we still, until now, even at this time, when in fact 38 years have already passed, we have many questions and want to hear answers. To these questions. We have in the studio today Volodymyr Vyatrovych, historian, author of the bestseller ukraine history with grif secretly. He opened and is researching the archives of the kgb. In particular also writes about the chernobyl disaster. Head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance in 20142019, peoples deputy of ukraine. Mr. Volodymyr, i congratulate you. Good day. Mr. Volodymyr, here. Today, after so many years after this terrible disaster, is it important to talk about these things, is it important to talk about the truth that was hidden from us even in the times of the soviet union, and even very often, in fact, before the revolution dignity, we are aware that many archives, many things were tried to be hidden even during under the time of independent ukraine, after the restoration of the independence of our state, it is definitely necessary to talk about it, because it seems to me that the chernobyl story is a story about how hiding the truth. Can literally cost peoples lives, and this is a story about , how the desire to hide the extent of this disaster resulted in the people simply not being given the right information, and the people who trusted the authorities, who believed that they had to do what the authorities said, probably suffered the most, that is, it is very an instructive story in the context, probably even of world history, in the context of the history of the soviet union, because for me its just. The chernobyl disaster certainly became such a trigger that started the process of the collapse of the soviet union, but this is a very instructive story for us, for modern times, when we live in a world where perhaps the truth is not so much hidden as it is simply covered with tons of lies, and even now it is worth remembering this chernobyl story in order to still understand the value of the truth and to understand, that the truth can and must be reached, there are many of you. Focused in their works on the question of what the kgb actually knew about a whole series of problems at the chernobyl Nuclear Power plant, about negligence, about the actual problems during construction, about the fact that, in principle, such a catastrophe could happen, all this was clearly hidden from the public, as and any similar things during the soviet union. In your opinion, could this have been avoided, or how, if this information had been more open, about she was known more, even by the same soviet officials, how much could have been avoided, or was this disaster essentially already laid by the very existence of the soviet soviet union, i absolutely agree with your sufficient thesis, because really this disaster was laid by this system itself. In which it took place, because to talk about if there was more open information in the soviet union is like a total moron, because the entire soviet union was built on the secrecy of information, on the unavailability of information, on lies, propaganda, to the fact that those people who wanted to know the truth were even persecuted and physically destroyed, therefore, unfortunately, it could not be otherwise in the soviet union, and it is interesting to understand, the documents of the kgb actually show that the leadership of the soviet of the yeti state. Knew the truth about what was happening from the very beginning with this chernobyl Nuclear Power plant, it must be said why there are so many documents of the kgb in general about this object, it was from the very beginning considered an object of strategic importance and from the very beginning of its buildings in the early 1970s, was under very careful supervision of the kgb, to the point that they studied all the inhabitants of the nearby villages, towns, pripyat, compiled lists of who was there. Of them, who had relatives abroad, who they even found someone there who had relatives in the ukrainian insurgent army, all these people were under very close scrutiny, under very close supervision by the kgb, precisely because it was considered to be an extremely important object not only for the soviets of ukraine, the entire soviet union, and among other things, it is necessary to understand that this object was subordinated directly in moscow, that is, not to the Ukrainian Ministry of the ukrainian soviet socialist republic, but to the moscow ministry. And thats why we have such a large number of documents, so from these documents it is very easy to reproduce that everything went wrong from the very beginning, the very process of building this Nuclear Power plant was accompanied by constant violations of the norms that had to be observed, taking into account the fact that its not even just a power plant, its a Nuclear Power plant, its one of those rare ones experiences in soviet construction, and the kgb constantly informed the party. That some material was stolen, some material was replaced with something of poor quality, there were already some first cracks, but all this was watched with squinting eyes, because the most important thing was to make it to the next october anniversary before launching in 1977 the chernobyl Nuclear Power plant, as an example of such great achievements of the communist government and the entire soviet regime, was launched from. Well, but literally immediately after that , again, according to the kgb documents, we see constant reports of problems with the operation of this power plant and at first of a minor nature, then as the introduction of new power units of this power plant became more and more operational, its problems grew until in 1982 one of the accidents occurred, which was accompanied by such a significant release of radiation. Substances into the open space, and again, only those who compiled these reports knew about it, that is , the chekists themselves, the kegibists themselves and those whose table they sat on, and they sat on the table exclusively of the leaders of the communist party, people who lived there worked, who, unfortunately, were obviously poisoned as a result of these exits, could not and should not have known anything about this, and i think that this is probably the practice of covering up information, it should have been applied according to the leadership of the communist party and with regard to the disaster that occurred on the night of april 26 , 1986, the only thing that prevented it was its scale. A catastrophe of such a powerful scale that its results were learned hundreds, thousands of kilometers away from ukraine, for the first time it was understood, something significant had happened on the territory of sweden, where an increased radiation hazard was recorded at its local Nuclear Power facility and they thought that an accident might have occurred in them, then they realized that it was not, that it was about what the wind would bring. Some the air, which was poisoned by radiation, this became the beginning of this, in the literal sense of this leak, which resulted in an information leak, which eventually forced the authorities, well, at least very dryly, without any details, to Say Something about the fact that the accident happened, at least state the fact , what it did happen. For the first, probably, one, two, three weeks, the soviet authorities tried to do everything so that people did not find out anything, even in. In those regions that were essentially tangential to the kyiv region, you said about what, in fact, to say they started talking about it only after europe, the european states spoke up, started to sound the alarm, if this had not happened, would the Ukrainian Society or the residents of other Union Republics even know about the fact that. Such a catastrophe, or after all, the owls in this case, the union would have managed to avoid this dissemination of information and all this could be hidden, it is difficult to say unequivocally whether it would have been possible to hide it completely, because we are still talking about 1986, that is, it is already the time when there is a new leadership of the communist party, headed by mikhail gorbachev, who already then launched this proclamation, that is, the system was already a little shaky, the system was no longer as integral as under gorbachevs predecessors, therefore. It is possible that some leaks would have occurred, but i have no doubt that the goal was to do everything quietly for that the minimum people learned about the threats that this accident entails, this goal was usually set, and this goal, this is very clearly visible from how long the evacuation of people was delayed, even from this most affected, then defined as a 30kilometer zone, evacuation it just started on april 28, because it was believed that. Well, lets wait, maybe everything is not so terrible, i remember this first document that was put on the table of volodymyr cherbyskyi, then the head of the communist party, that there was an accident at night, which was accompanied by such then sources of radiation, and accordingly, there are specific ee indicators of those, this radiation, which su, which accompanies the accident, the state at the moment, on what on. The document, absolutely sincerely , volodymyr sherbytskyi is very sincere in the resolution, what does this mean, that is, he does not understood at all what it was about, well, probably, obviously, as a person of, lets say, party upbringing, he was not obliged to understand physics, but it was unfortunate that he himself, completely not understanding physics, not understanding the threats of that , what happened, he finally was deciding what to do next, so the person who said what this meant absolutely did not understand the threat. Thats what happened, because i didnt understand what it meant, therefore, the issue of evacuating those people who were in the greatest danger was delayed, moreover, all the people of kyiv already remember this story, because it all happened the day before may 1, well, of course, the leadership of the communist party of ukraine could not refuse the may 1 demonstration, that is, it would probably be considered some kind of big sacrilege, and we have in the documents. Just interesting measurements of the radiation state in kyiv as of noon, when the children went out on the kreshchatka during this parade, we see just the peak of this threat for those people, but nevertheless, this did not deter the leadership of the communist party, because in fact they believed that everything should be done as it was, and that any extraordinary. Steps of any kind were not unexpected
