The pain of my country» opened at the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus, prepared by the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus (hereinafter – NARB), the Belarusian State Archive of Film, Photo, and Sound Documents, timed to coincide with the Day of the Chernobyl Tragedy.
On April 26, 1986, an accident occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The consequences of the largest man-made disaster in the history of nuclear energy are still being eliminated by specialists from all over the world.
The consequences of the tragedy, not only socio-economic, environmental, but also spiritual, are still felt, and the echo of the Chernobyl disaster will sound for decades to come. That is why the history of this disaster and the overcoming of its consequences deserve human memory.
The documentary exhibition presents archival documents from the NARB funds: decrees, reports, certificates, minutes of meetings and decisions of the Government Commission for the Elimination of the Consequences of the Chernobyl Accident, documents on the resettlement of the population from contaminated areas, on the provision of international assistance in connection with the accident. Of particular interest are also documents on historical and cultural values that ended up in contaminated areas.
