done and who is to blame. The revolution, the gulags,
the Second World War, the Soviet–Afghan war hidden
from the people, the downfall of the great empire, the
downfall of the giant socialist land, the land-utopia, and
now a challenge of cosmic dimensions – Chernobyl.
This is a challenge for all the living things on earth.
