Haunting, fascinating, and a testament to the very worst of mankind. Where to even begin with Chernobyl…
“Long live Communism – savior of humankind.”
I saw Chernobyl as another iteration of a dark monomyth – as Icarus and Prometheus and Pandora’s box. We don’t seem to learn from our mistakes. I want to believe that we can be better, but that’s pretty difficult to do while surrounded by the wreckage of what used to be innocent lives, needlessly sacrificed for the latest political agenda. Just read the news. It often seems like we haven’t learned a thing.
I hope very much that I am wrong.
