1Ukraine: Memories and Photos of Chernobyl in August 1986Ukraine: Fahatsiarovana sy sarin'i Chernobyl tamin'ny volana Aogositra 1986
2Moscow-based LJ user av-strannik (Aleksandr Strannik) arrived at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in mid-August of 1986, some four months after the April 26 blast at Reactor #4, to assist in the clean-up effort as a ventilation engineer.Nigadona tany amin'ny Orinasa Famokarana Angovo nokleary any Chernobyl ny mpampiasa LJ av-strannik (Aleksandr Strannik) monina any Mosko tamin'ny tapaky ny volana Aogositra 1986, efa-bolana teo ho eo taorian'ny fipoahan'ny fitaovana fampandehanana #4 ny 26 Aprily, hanatrika ny ezaka fanadiovana amin'ny maha injeniera amin'ny fitsofana azy.
3By that time, “all the most dangerous work had been done by the [liquidators],” he wrote [ru] on his blog on April 19, 2011.Nanomboka tamin'izay, “nataon'ny [mpanadio ] ireo asa rehetra mety hampidi-doza,” hoy izy nanoratra [ru] ao amin'ny bilaoginy ny 19 Aprily2011.
4In a follow-up post [ru], written on April 26, Strannik explained how he had become one of the Chernobyl catastrophe “liquidators” himself:Eo amin'ny lahatsoratra mifanaraka amin'izany [ru], nosoratana ny 26 Aprily, dia nanazava mikasika ny naha-iray amin'ireo “mpanadio ny lozan'ny Chernobyl” ny tenany i Strannik:
5[…] I asked to be sent to [the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant] right away, as soon as I learned about the accident's scale.[…] Nangataka ny ho any [amin'ilay Orinasa famokarana ny angovo nokleary any Chernobyl] aho, raha vao nahalala mikasika ny haben'ny loza.
6What are you going to do there, my boss asked me.Inona no hataonao any, hoy ny lehibeko tamiko.
7I could clear the debris away with a bulldozer, I had done this type of work as a student.Afaka manadio ny potipoti-javatra amin'ny fiarabe mpitrongy tany aho, efa nanao asa sahala amin'izany aho fony mbola mpianatra.
8They'll manage without you.Vitan'izy ireo tsy mila anao izany.
9Then, in August, when the numbers of those willing to go on a work-related trip [to Chernobyl] diminished, they remembered those who had wanted to come from the very start. […]Ary dia tamin'ny volana Aogositra, raha nihena ny isan'ireo narisika handeha amin'ny dia mifandray amin'ny asa [any Chernobyl], dia tsaroan-dry zareo ireo te ho any tany am-boalohany indrindra. […],
10Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, August 1986.Toeram-piasana famokarana angovo nokleary any Chernobyl, Aogositra 1986.
11Photo by Aleksandr Strannik (LJ user av_strannik)Sary nalaini Aleksandr Strannik (mpampiasa LJ av_strannik)
12Strannik, who was 30 back then, was an amateur photographer, and “a couple of snapshots” that he took in Chernobyl in 1986 “even won some prize at some exhibition” later.Mpaka sary mbola mpiofana i Strannik, 30 taona izy, ary ny roa tamin'ireo saripika izay nalainy tany Chernobyl tamin'ny 1986 “aza dia nahazo loka tamin'ny fampirantiana ” taty aoriana.
13Recently, he has scanned 17 of these photos - including those that he took just “for himself” (“as they'd say now, for [Odnoklassniki.ru, a social network popular in the former Soviet Union]”) - and shared them on his blog - “for the [25th] anniversary, so to say.”Vao tsy ela akory, no-scanner-ny ny 17 tamin'ireo sary ireo - isan'izany ireo izay nalainy “ho azy manokana” (“izay lazain'izy ireo amin'izao hoe, ho an'ny [Odnoklassniki.ru, tambanjotra sosialy malaza any amin'ny Firaisana Sovietika teo aloha]”) - ary nizara azy ireo teo amin'ny bilaoginy - “ho an'ny fitsingerenan'ny faha [25] taona, raha izay no azo hilazana izany.”
14Replying to one reader, Strannik wrote that he had been using a Zorki 4 camera, as well as “an old [Zenit]”; he also wrote that he had printed “a few hundred pictures” while in Chernobyl (“until there was no more paper left” to print on) - “and all our guys were going back home with the photos ).”Hamaliana ny mpamaky iray, dia nanoratra i Strannik fa nampiasa fakan-tsary Zorki 4 iray izy, ary koa “[Zenit]”efa antitra; nanoratra ihany koa izy fa nampanàsa “sary anjatony vitsivitsy” raha izy mbola tany Chernobyl (“mandra-pahalanin'ny taratasy “hanontana ny sary) - “ary nody niaraka tamina sary avokoa ny olonay rehetra tany).”
15Below are some of Strannik's recollections from his time in Chernobyl 25 years ago, translated from Russian; to see his photos, please visit the original post [ru].Ireto ambany ireto ny nangonin'i Strannik tamin'ny fotoana laniny tany Chernobyl 25 taona lasa izay, nadika avy amin'ny teny Rosiana; Raha te hijery ireo sary, dia jereo ny lahatsoratra niaingàna [ru].
16About the drivers of concrete mixer trucks, which can be seen on the second photo, right next to the damaged reactor:Momba ireo mpamily kamiao mpanafangaro simenitra, izay mety ho hita eo amin'ny sary faharoa, tena eo akaikin'iny motera simba:
17These drivers are heroes - either due to their carelessness, or due to ignorance.Ireo mpamily ireo no tena mahery fo - angamba noho ny tsy firaharahian-dry zareo, na noho ny tsy fahalalàny.
18They were paid five times their [usual] salaries and they had been promised [Zhiguli cars off the waiting list] - but I'm afraid very few of them [lived long enough] to actually get those Zhigulis - it was [2 roentgen per hour] where the photographer stood, and as for where the drivers were, at the base of the [Sarcophagus], I don't know, I think it was no less than [20 roentgen per hour], i.e., it was safe to work there for one hour, which was unreal in those conditions.Nokaramaina avo dimy heny amin'ny karama [mahazatra] azy izy ireo ary nampanantenaina [fiara Zhiguli ary tsy anaty lisitra fiandry] - nefa manahy aho hoe tena ho vitsy amin'izy ireo no [ho ela velona ] ka tena hahazo Zhigulis marina- teo amin'ny [2 roentgen isan'ora] no nitsangana ny mpaka sary, ary raha ny nisy ireo mpamily kosa, dia teo am-pototry ny [Sarcophagus], tsy haiko, ataoko hoe tsy latsaky ny [20 roentgen isan'ora], izany hoe, azo antoka kokoa ny miasa teo mandritra ny ora iray, efa tena mihoatra ny takatry ny saina raha ireo fepetra ireo.
19[…] A paradox of the Soviet times - to pay for a Zhiguli with one's own life. […][…] Efa mahazatra tamin'ny fotoan'ny Soviety - vidiana aminà Zhiguli iray ny ain'olona. […]
20On “curiosity”:Eo amin'ny “fahalinana”:
21[…] I wanted to take a photo of the reactor from above.[…] Te haka sary ilay motera avy eny ambony aho.
22Went to the airfield, no security guards, [helicopters] are all there, and a wagon at the field's edge.Nandeha teny amin'ny toerana malalaka, tsy nisy mpitandro fiarovana, teny avokoa ireo angidimby, ary koa ny kalesy teny amin'ny sisin'ny kianja.
23Next to the wagon [stood] the helicopter pilots.Teo akaikin'ny kalesy no [nijoro] ny mpanamory ny angidimby.
24Who are you? A photographer, would like to photograph the reactor from above.Iza ianao? mpaka sary, te haka sary ny motera avy eny ambony aho.
25Go to that yellow [helicopter], they fly to the object more often.Mandehana amin'itsy [angidimby] mavo itsy, manidina matetika eny amin'io zavatra io izy.
26I come up to them, ask to take me with them.Nanatona azy ireo aho, niangavy azy ireo ny hitondra ahy hiaraka amin'izy ireo.
27Are you out of your mind, they are forcing us to go there and you are getting yourself into it voluntarily, better take a photo of us, we don't have a single picture from the whole trip.Ianao angaha efa very saina, izahay aza teren'izy ireo ho eny nefa ianao te ho eny amin-tsitrapo, tsaratsara kokoa izahay alaina sary, izahay tsy manana sary iray akory nanditra ity dianay ity.
28I took a picture of the crew.Naka sary azy ireo aho.
29When will the photos be ready?Rahoviana no vita ny sary?
30I'll make them tonight.Hataoko rahalina.
31Ok, come tomorrow, we'll give you a ride over the reactor.Hay, tongava rahampitso, ho entinay mitsidika ambonin'ny motera ianao.
32I returned [not the next day, but] a day later, couldn't make it earlier.Niverina teny aho [tsy ny ampitson'iny nefa] fa andro hafa taty aoriana, tsy afaka nanoatra aho.
33Where's the yellow [helicopter]?Lasa aiza ilay [angidimby] mavo?
34What do you need it for? - they ask me suspiciously.Hataonao inona? - hoy izy ireo kaodikaody nanontany ahy.
35I've brought photos for the guys, they'd promised to take me on a flight over the reactor.Nitondra ny sarin'ireo lehilahy tao aho, nanome toky ahy izy ireo fa hitondra ahy hanidina ambonin'ny motera.
36The guys crashed yesterday ( How?Nianjera omaly ireo lehilahy ireo ( Ahoana?
37They were preparing to land, there was a gust of wind, they fell on the tail from 50 meters or so.Niomana ny hidina an-tany izy ireo, nisy rivotra nitsoka, nianjera izy ireo teo amin'ny 50 metatra teo ho eo.
38Are they alive? Yes!Velona ve izy ireo?
39They are at the [hospital], the [helicopter] was covered with lead sheets [to protect the crew from radiation exposure], made it difficult to operate it, they got off easy.Eny! any amin'ny [hopitaly] izy ireo, norakofana lamba nihosotra firaka ilay [angidimby] [hiarovana ny fonony amin'ny taratra], nanasarotra ny fanamoriana azy izany, vitan-dry zareo mora ihany.
40Right, and they had invited me to this very flight, and I couldn't make it, was on duty.Eny ary, nety, ary nanasa ahy izy ireo amin'ity sidina iray ity, fa tsy afaka nandeha aho, mbola nisy raharaha nefaiko.
41Lucky you.Tsara vintana ianao.
42Please pass the photos to the guys.Ireto sary ireto mba omeo ireo lehilahy ireo azafady.
43My interest in flying was gone. […]Efa tsy vonona ny hisidina intsony aho. […]
44For the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl catastrophe, Strannik, along with other Moscow-based “liquidators,” has received these presents from the regional organization “Soyuz Chernobyl” (pictured on the last two color photos in the April 19 post): a thermos flask, a bottle of vodka (“a radiation medicine” written on it, among other things) and a framed Russian Orthodox Christian prayer.Ho an'ny fitsingerenan'ny faha 25 taonan'ny nisehoan'ny loza tany Chernobyl, dia nahazo fanomezana avy amin'ny fikambanam-paritra “Soyuz Chernobyl” i Strannik, miaraka amin'ireo “mpanadio” nonina tany Maosko (nalaina sary eo amin'ny sary roa miloko farany eo amin'ny lahatsoratra tamin'ny 19 Aprily): tranona fitoeran-dranomafana, tavoahangina vodka (“fanafody hiadiana amin'ny taratra ” no soratra eo aminy, ankoatry ny zavatra maro hafa teo) ary koa vavaka Kristiana Ortodoksa Rosiana natao anaty faritra efajoro.
45Strannik's photo story has generated four pages of comments, with many readers expressing gratitude to the author and all the other Chernobyl “liquidators.”Niteraka tsikera efatra pejy ny tantara an-tsarin'i Strannik, narahin'ireo mpamaky maneho ny fankasitrahana ny mpanoratra sy ireo “mpanadio” tany Chernobyl.
46LJ user oksana_slk was among those who also thanked Strannik for “preserving the history of this tradegy.”Iray amin'ireo nankasitraka an'i Strannik ilay mpampiasa LJ, oksana_slk, noho ny “fitahirizany ny tantaran'ny loza.”
47He replied:Hoy izy namaly:
48As an eyewitness, I can only state that this tragedy could have been survived with fewer human and material losses - if the management had been adequate (Amin'ny maha vavolombelona ahy, izao ihany no azoko lazaina hoe afaka niainana iny loza iny taminà nahafoizana olona sy fitaovana mbola vitsivitsy kokoa - raha toa ka nety ny fitantànana tao (
