@Dr Disconect First: I was fishing for bot responses (bait = 'Russia'), so thanks for biting. Second: Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union in 1986, so thanks for splitting that hair. Third: Chernobyl isn't the only leaking nuclear reactor in Russia (or the former Soviet Union) e.g. there are plenty of decommissioned nuclear subs with reactors still in them, afloat in Russian Navy harbors. Fourth: by 'the area around Georgia' (which is an independent country, but not for long, right Vlad?), I guess you included the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula? Fifth: it was a throw-away comment/joke building on the theme started by the OP, not a PhD dissertation.
