About this audio guide
This guide to the National Chornobyl Museum in Kyiv begins with a museum worker in the rubble of the Podil district in May twenty twenty-six, forty years after the reactor disaster the building was made to remember. It reaches back to the fire station behind the tall tower, to the firefighters and liquidators of nineteen eighty-six, and to the villages of Polissia emptied by the zone. Best heard from the lane outside, facing the tower.
