    If this isnt the right place where to put this thread, I didnt know where to put it.
    I just wanted to say that today is the day on which the 35th anniversary of the explosion in reactor 4 of the Lenin nuclear power plant near Chernobyl, in Ukraine, then still part of the Soviet Union, falls. A disaster that has marked the collective imagination not only for the death of tens of people - or rather tens of thousands, even if the number of victims has never been specified by the Moscow authorities - following the explosion and especially the radiation in the following years, but also for the mass evacuation decided in the hours following the explosion which effectively canceled the life of a large area within a radius of kilometers from the reactor.
