Oleksandr Sienkevych, the mayor of the city, remembered that “People’s memory forgets bitter and sad pages of the past very fast. All the events which happened 31 years ago were the tragedy of all the universe. And those people, who came to save the world from radiation, also had families, children, and plans for the future. During the meeting with Chornobyl disaster liquidators, it was mentioned that fewer and fewer people remember what happened on April 26, 1986. That’s why we need to make different events at educational establishments to remember the future generation about the price which people paid for our lives.”
