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.
