Il’sur Metshin: "We must make our world safe"
(KZN.RU, April 26th, by Renat Shirmanov). Technogenic accidents of the past and of the present century should teach all of us a lesson. Our world must be safe. This is what the Mayor of Kazan Il’sur Metshin declared today opening the meeting marking the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.
The Mayor of Kazan Il’sur Metshin, the Deputy Head of the Executive Committee for Social Problems Zuhra Nigmatullina, Tatarstan’s Military Commissioner Sergey Pogodin, the President of the Chernobyl Union Alexander Barskov and the people who took an active part in the disaster clean-up and their relatives came to lay flowers at the memorial to the Chernobyl disaster liquidators (clean-up workers)located in the square at the crossing of Yamashev and Amirhan avenues.
A total of 383 liquidators, 105 widows of those who died as a consequence of the Chernobyl disaster clean-up and 119 participants of other radioactive and technogenic accidents live in Kazan at present. All in all, more than 3.5 thousand Kazan inhabitants went to liquidate the consequences of the disaster. All their names are immortalized today on the memorial plaques.
«Currently, Japan is experiencing similar problems, - Ilsur Metshin reminded. - They should be a warning to us all, we should make our world safe».
The meeting came to an end with flower laying and a minute of silence in memory of the victims of the Chernobyl disaster.
Reminder: on April 26th, 1986, nuclear reactor number four of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant got out of control. Some 190 tons of radioactive material were released into atmosphere. The environment was contaminated by dangerous radioactive substances as a result of the fire lasting almost two weeks. The population of Chernobyl was subjected to irradiation 90 times greater than that which the population of Hiroshima experienced after the explosion of the nuclear bomb. The area of 160 thousand sq. kilometers – the northern part of Ukraine, the west of Russia and Belarus -- was polluted. About 400 thousand people were evacuated from the disaster zone.
The Memorial Day for Victims of Radiation Accidents and Disasters has been marked in Russia on April 26th since 1993. In 2003, April 26th was designated by the United Nations as the International Day Commemorating Victims of Radiation Accidents and Catastrophes.
