Today whole world will remember the victims and pay tribute to liquidators, who gave their lives to save millions of others.
This is such a wrong word – “liquidators”. If we say, that they were cleaning up after others mistakes and irresponsibility, then yes, this people are liquidators. But for me, they are, first of all guardian angels, saviors, who shielded the world with their lives from the big evil.
The feat of these people amazes to the depths of the soul: they all knew, that if they go, only death wait for them – fast or painfully long – but no one turned back. They literally became a shield between mankind and “peaceful” maddened atom.
Today, the last survivors tell of the terrible tragedy. Not because they look for fame and acceptance, but for us to remember them. 30 years ago whole world was cruelly tricked by Soviet government, that tried to hide what happened in Chernobyl. When truth became obvious, brave leaders decided, that neither world no their citizen should not know what price was payed for liquidation of the accident. Hundreds and thousands of people – scientists, engineers, firefighters, doctors, drivers, soldiers and builders – they all were forcefully forgotten. But even today government remembers about this people only once a year: flowers are laid in memory of the victims, some words are told... And then, Chernobyl citizen, those who are still alive, on their own, undergo special treatment few times a year. After 30 years after tragedy they still fight, but now fort their own lives.
I want for new generation to remember and honor heroes, who gave their lives for them. Not only war requires bravery. We should remember that.
Eternal glory to heroes! Thank you, for saving us, for saving whole world.
