Chornobyl was very different from any previous disaster or mass murdering. For many decades, USSR propaganda pictured nuclear as the solution for all future problems. «Nuclear energy + intelligent robots = communism». And then you have nuclear disaster and no robots.
- Arech 5y agoNot very much different, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayak for a list of issues with only one nuclear related facility for example. Regarding the else you have just written about... It's just so minuscule comparing to the real issues USSR and it's citizens had that I don't even know what to say about it. Just read some trustworthy books or even wikipedia about economics situation in late USSR and forget all you've just said. You literally don't give a shit about some fancy robots and nuclear disasters in some distant places when you have close to nothing to eat and nothing to put on.
- drran 5y agoI don't need to read books about USSR or Chornobyl. :-)
- orbital-decay 5y agoHuh? Mayak was a top secret military facility in a fairly remote area. Its incidents and disasters were only unclassified after the breakup, and weren't known to the population. Chernobyl, on the other hand, was impossible to hide.
