This book is about the true causes of the Chernobyl accident, which became known not so long ago.

35 years have passed since the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, political regimes have changed in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and the statute of limitations has expired.

Almost all the main culprits of the accident and those who were crippled by it died.

Secret archives were opened, witnesses who were silent before spoke.

Finally there was an opportunity to truly understand what happened on April 26, 1986 at the fourth power unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
