The truth about Chernobyl

The author of the book, Vladimir Gubarev, found himself at the epicenter of the disaster in the first days of the disaster and witnessed how firefighters and operators, workers and soldiers, scientists and officers, academics and generals tried to tame... the atomic cloud of Chernobyl. The author talks about the heroism of ordinary people and the cowardice of bosses, the desperate courage of liquidators and the betrayal of those in power - everything the author talks about honestly and openly. Why did Mikhail Gorbachev and his closest associates try to hide the scale of the disaster, deny the obvious, and not believe in what was happening? Why was the country's president silent for almost three weeks? These questions are answered by the author of the book, who met with Gorbachev and told him about the tragedy.
Vladimir Gubarev was familiar with scientists and specialists who took an active part in eliminating the accident. He was close to academician Valery Legasov, and it was to him that the scientist bequeathed his “Notes.” The author talks about the reasons that led Academician Legasov to suicide.
