I remember up here in northern Sweden back in 1986 when they realized something was wrong with the radiation levels, that something happened somewhere else. I was 14 back then, but still remember it like yesterday. Thumbs up for a job well done, great documentary. Keep up the good work 👌

[@Mraxell]

Please share us the story of how it went back then in sweden please 🥰 would love to hear the stories from outside of chernobyl

[@niklazandersson5631]

@@Mraxell I dont remember much, it was so long ago 😂 But I remember it was on the news April 28th 1986. At Forsmark our 2nd largest nuclear power plant an employee passed one of the radiation monitors returning from the restroom the news said. It showed high radiation levels coming from his shoes, so they belived an accident happened at the power plant here in Sweden. Staff scanned radiation detection instruments and other things several times I belive, but they could not find anything else. Later they did some analysis, and they could identify the radioactive particles that they found in the grass as specific to the Soviet nuclear power plants. So Sweden as the first country outside Soviet and the Swedish authorities raised an alarm telling the world something was wrong mentioning the radiactive pollution came from a disaster in Soviet. They also found particles in meat from animals if my memory is right.

[@badasss7898]

⁠@@niklazandersson5631 Det du skriver stämmer och jag minns också paniken som spred sig bland befolkningen. Alla vuxna va rädda och det gjorde oss barn rädda. I remember this too, even though I was only 8. I remember the breaking news on tv and radio. There is still some radioactive particals left in our ecosystem to this day but levels are now low and not dangerous anymore. There are statistics showing a slight increase of cancer bc of the accident but numbers are low (thank God)

This disaster frightened the crap out of us during my youth, and well before this we had the worry about all the nuclear weapons at the hands of morons like Ronald Regan and the Cremlin. We will never really know the real effects of this disater, but it has been of interest to me. I have visited two bunkers so far and found it very interesting.

They have had 2 headed pig and cattle born in chernobyl. A lot of deformities in many things that grow there. Pregnant women that were there during the disaster had babies with deformities such as cleft pallets and abnormal growths

[@MausTheGerman]

Many artifacts there are not real. They were brought by fellow Instagramers for cool shots. Especially in the hospital- like the toys and other stuff. But I guess your guide told you too :) I did the tour 4 times already. Always seeing different spots.

I remember when Chernobyl happened. It was very frightening for the entire world. I've watched doc u series and read books about Chernobyl. But I have never before seen a domesticated dog in a cage on the site. If I found that image was profoundly sad. There are 300 or more domesticated dogs in that entire area, something humane needs to be done with them. I can't stand to see the suffering that might be going on in that situation. I will research it more, as you have provoked me anyway, to do so, and see to find a humane answer to being sure that dogs cannot be anywhere on that post hell hole! Thank you for your documentary it's by far one of the best I've ever seen. I thank you for your bravery. Again this is one of the best video series I've ever seen on Chernobyl.
