Lesson «In the Epicenter of Chernobyl» in the Rechitsa District Lyceum

On April 23, 2025, as part of the «Archives for School» campaign and the pilot project «Young Archivist» in the Rechitsa District Lyceum, archivists of the ZGA in Rechitsa held a memory lesson «In the Epicenter of Chernobyl», dedicated to the 39th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

Documents about the Chernobyl tragedy stored in the Rechitsa State Archives were shown to 10th-grade students: decisions of district executive committees, photographs, geographic maps and personal documents of firefighter-liquidator Vasily Ivanovich Ignatenko, who extinguished the fire at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the first hours after the accident.
