Press Release
April 26, 2010

Today, on April 26, on the Memory Day of Nuclear Disasters Victims, YABLOKO held an action commemorating the victims of nuclear disasters by Rosatom (Russia’s Atomic Agency).

The police and security guards refused to let YABLOKO’s activists to the territory of Rosatom, therefore the activists fixed the placard “Memory of nuclear disasters victims” on the fence around the building and laid flowers to it.

“Rosatom is a legal successor of the Atomic Ministry and bears full responsibility for the disasters,” said YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin, who also participated in the action. According to Mitrokhin, the victims of these tragedies “have not got due compensations yet”, moreover, even “not all the victims have legal right to such compensations”.

For example, the residents of the Muslyumovo village have not been evacuated from the village polluted after disaster at the Mayak plant which took place in 1957. According to Mitrokhin, instead of this Rosatom has been arranging endless fraud schemes with new houses for the residents who have to be evacuated.
