Even today, 21 years after the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the problem of its consequences is as acute, as ever. 485 villages and towns were lost, 136 000 people were forced to flee from the contaminated area, with 2 000 000 still living there. Belarus received 70% of all radioactive fallout. Nevertheless, the present Belarusian regime prefers not to talk about the problem and discourages any scientific research on Chernobyl consequences.
