☢️ PINT-SIZED HISTORY ARE GOING TO CHERNOBYL ☢️

50,000 people used to live here - now it's a ghost town!

In this episode, we focus on one of history’s most cataclysmic disasters, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant explosion of 26 April 1986.

A catastrophe that not only unleashed deadly radiation across Ukraine, Belarus and a considerable amount of North-Eastern Europe but also shook the very foundations of the Soviet Union, eventually leading to its collapse.

Get ready for a deep dive into:

• How the disaster happened – a routine test that spiralled into catastrophe
• Heroes and horror – The brave responders, miners and pilots who paid the ultimate price.
• Soviet cover-up – How the USSR tried (and failed) to keep the disaster under wraps
• The beginning of the end – Why Gorbachev’s actions fuelled the USSR's collapse

Or... you know you just like the Call of Duty 4 campaign mission All Ghillied Up
