Chernobyl workers: No monument to emergency workers, but extra help for health care

In the days following April 26, 1986, Armenians were rounded up and taken by Soviet authorities to an unnamed destination. Some were told they were being taken for work to Kazakhstan.

They were in fact being taken to the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster. About 400 died after they were exposed to radiation fallout at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine.
