For 100 days, a resident of Novosibirsk built a sarcophagus over the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
In 1986, Valery Grishkin was only 23 years old. A recent engineering university graduate was summoned for training as an officer in the military department. He led soldiers, entered dangerous areas and received a high dose of radiation, which over the years affected his health.
His young wife and little son were waiting for him at home, who at first didn't even know that Volary would be working at the accident site in Chernobyl.
40 years have passed.
Valery Grishkin's memories of the terrible days and life after Chernobyl are in the video.
