I watched the series, and wanted to know more. Ordered the book "Midnight in Chernobyl" by Adam Higginbotham from Amazon, and just finished reading it. It is a highly researched, and well documented book. I'm next going to read "Disaster in the Urals" by Zhores A. Medvedev. I found it on a paperback swap site I belong to. It covers the nuclear disasters in the U.S.S.R., and focuses mostly on the 1957 explosion at the disposal section of the Soviet atomic weapons industry located in the Southern Urals. The story of the explosion was suppressed. The radioactive contamination covered an area almost as big as Rhode Island.
Brief Biography of Zhores Medvedev
Last night I watched a video I downloaded from the internet, titled "The Babushkas of Chernobyl." Made in 2015, it's the story about the elderly women who returned to their homes in the exclusion zone, and continue to reside there.
