Is Chernobyl/Pripyat not in Europe?
- epistasis 3y agoSome might say that there's an ongoing war to determine the answer to this question. Edit: but to be clear, I am not part of those "some," and believe Ukraine is Europe! I just don't know the relative scales of Sellafield and Chernobyl in terms of toxicity.
- toyg 3y agoRussia is also Europe, in the traditional sense. Before the Cold War, this was never in doubt. The ruler was literally a "Caesar", elites spoke French and German, holidayed on the French Riviera, and bickered with other European powers in the Great Game.
- KptMarchewa 3y agoThe elites were trying to fit in into that world extremely hard, but the ruling method was always самодержавие.
- toyg 3y agoWell, until WWI that was largely the ruling method of choice across the entire continent, eh...
- sgift 3y agoIt's an interesting question whether Chernobyl or Sellafield are more toxic, especially with all the additional toxic waste that's send to Sellafield all the time.
