#chornobylj — Public Fediverse posts

Regarding #Chornobyl / #Chernobyl / #Chornobylj , let me remind a couple of things which people abroad may fail to remember.

The disaster was not an accident. #Commies wanted to drain a few more watts from the Nature (now y'all tend to blame #capitalism for that, ha?) and ordered a crazy experiment requiring the majority of safety systems in the reactor to be shut down. What could go wrong, indeed?

After the catastrophe, the reaction of #USSR authorities was blatantly poor. #Communists tried to conceal the event and its impact (while rumours, obviously, started to circulate), and in particular, refused to cancel the demonstration of #May1st in #Kyiv. And don't fool yourself, it was not a kind of intrinsically protest demonstrations (as if any other ones made any sense in a free country) you can see them now on #1May in free world, it was a state event, act of #communism idolatry (and yes, if you had decided to fail to appear, the authorities would have QUESTIONS). So yes, they literally pushed people under radioactive fallout for the sake of their deadly ideology.

In #Ukraine, there is an opinion that Chornobyl disaster was one of the nails in the coffin of the #soviet nidus. Hard to say, but it remains a toxic scar on beautiful Ukrainian Polissja, which will poison the nature for centuries.
