After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, thousands of workers, known as liquidators, were involved in the cleanup and containment efforts. Many of these workers were exposed to deadly levels of radiation, leading to severe health problems and early deaths. Over the years, thousands of liquidators have died from radiation-related illnesses, with a heavy toll still continuing. The Chernobyl disaster and its aftermath are still considered one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. Despite their sacrifices, many liquidators were not properly compensated or recognized for their role in mitigating the disasters impact.
