The Chernobyl accident itself, its scale and helplessness of the Soviet power in the first days after the accident at the station became an additional argument against the availability of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
“Before lunch, a drunken father came from the night shift. There was nothing to explain anything, he only repeated: “The station exploded,” – said NV Igor Tsvitenko, a former resident of Pripyat, who was 16 years old at the time of the Chernobyl disaster. “Then his father said that after his work his brigade was examined in the sanitary machine, and the doctor put a three -liter jar of alcohol before them, ordered to drink.”
From the first hours after the accident, the fable about the healing of alcohol in the event of irradiation quickly spread. The authorities were the first to contribute to the popular prejudice: by the evening of April 26, the shelves of the Pripyat stores were filled with beer, wine and vodka – even in stores where only bread or milk was sold, they were exposed to alcohol.
