Today is a 37st anniversary of the Chornobyl Nuclear Plant disaster. It's hard to talk about one unprocessed national tragedy while living through another.

The Chornobyl disaster was totally preventable and it took away countless lives of people living in the region, especially in Ukraine and Belarus - both the liquidators and the civillians. Despite the very air and dust being literal poison, the soviets had not only hid this information from the people, but forced everybody to partake in the May the 1st parade - because god forbid we lose our face before the international community as a working class paradise! If not for the nuclear scientists in Sweden who raised the alarm about the dangerous levels of nuclear particles coming from northern Ukraine, who knows what would have happened. It definitely would have been swepped under the rug and forgotten by the international community, together with its victims - just like Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan is barely known abroad.

With russia constantly threatening to turn Zaporhizhzha nuclear plant into second Chornobyl, the wound caused by this tragedy is cut open again.

We all love the HBO Chornobyl series, and I genuinely am grateful to Craig Mazin for the amount of empathy and respect he brought to the series; but for today I indulge you to watch something made by ukrainians, to try to understand what this tragedy means to us and how it influences our lives even today.

For the documentaries, my favourite series by this day remains the "Dragons live here" by Your Underground Humanitarian School Youtube channel, which, unfortunately, can only offer automated english subtitles - they should, however, be sufficient.

As for the feature films, I recommend "Gateway" (you can stream it online with english subtitles here). And here is the official english trailer:

hiii,

this might be a bit random but

im a finn who has been recently considering moving to tallinn.

while this is very in the beginning stages of it all and just looking if it's even possible (job, apartment etc.) i have looked a bit at what kind of rental places there would be available. so my question is are all rental apartments fully furnished? is it possible to get one that is not furnished if requested?

as in finland they're not, and you but your own furniture, but when i lived in malta all the rentals were fully furnished. so i was just wondering how it is in estonia?

also any other tips for someone considering moving to estonia and tallinn?

aitäh ✌🏻🤗

hiii! so sorry for the late answer!

rental apartments usually have the information on the ads regarding whether it's furnished or not. most apartments are, from what i've seen, but quite often you can ask the owner to come with your own furniture if you'd like :)

ole hyvä!

Well, here we are. If I remember correctly exactly one year after I made this sideblog. And now the two powerhouses who have swept the entire tournament are facing off against each other!!

The undefeated champs, the unstoppable forces of nature that are both in a style I’m not at all used to drawing, are you guys ready?
