Tschernobyl: Russian soldiers were driving unprotected through contaminated areas and have inhaled dust from the so called Red Forrest. They had no idea, when asked about the Nuclear Catastrophy of 1986.

TL:DR in english:
>The region covers a few tens of square kilometers and got its name when the trees turned red after the reactor accident. It is considered to be particularly contaminated, and employees of the nuclear ruins are not allowed to enter it either. “No one goes there… for God’s sake,” Seida said. ‘There’s nobody there.
>The men, who did not want to be named, told the Reuters news agency that they drove through the so-called Red Forest in tanks and armored vehicles and kicked up clouds of radioactive dust. One of them spoke of a “suicidal” action, as the soldiers may have inhaled the dust. According to the information, specially trained Russian soldiers only reached the nuclear power plant a week later. They too were not wearing any safety equipment, unlike any of the Russian military seen in the weeks that followed.
A statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense could not be obtained.
Tldr it sucks to be Russian and it sucks to be close to Russia and it sucks to deal with Russia
Sure there is radioactive dust there, but wouldn’t the majority be already under a quite thick layer that formed over the 36 yrs.
I am aware that animals disturb the surface regularly, the layer sbould be there nevertheless.
Every people in Russia do know about Chernobyl, Pripyat and the 1986.
Not sure what did reporters really ask if they really did it.
