Conducting an educational hour for students of the UFO-11c specialization “Accounting, Analysis and Financial Investigations” group dedicated to the memory of the Chernobyl tragedy

On April 26, 2024, Lyubov Shevtsiv, assistant professor of the Department of Accounting, Analysis and Control of the Ivan Franko National University of Applied Sciences of Ukraine, together with students of the UFO-11c specialization “Accounting, Analysis and Financial Investigations” held an educational hour dedicated to the memory of the Chernobyl tragedy, the largest man-made disaster in the history of mankind disasters
In the life of Ukrainians, Chernobyl is an unhealing wound of pain and loss. The scale of the disaster and the severity of the consequences have become the most severe in the history of our planet. The heroism of liquidators saved millions of lives, saved the world. At the cost of their lives and health, under large doses of radiation, they stopped an invisible and very insidious enemy. According to incomplete data, more than 600,000 people passed through the Chernobyl site. Unfortunately, not everyone got out of that hell alive, many died later.
In February 2022, Russian troops invaded the Chernobyl exclusion zone, which had been preserved for decades and tried to protect it from the further spread of radiation and destruction. They dug trenches, built various structures, dug quarries and looted administrative buildings. Russian troops were in this zone until March.

This is what the Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko said in this regard: “The ignorance of Russian soldiers is just as extreme as the dosimeters we used to check the radiation background in the locations of the invaders. They dug bare ground contaminated with radiation, collected radioactive sand in bags for fortifications, breathed this dust. After a month of such exposure, they have a maximum of a year left to live. More precisely, not life, but slow death from diseases. Not only the entire personnel of the occupiers and “trophies” are infected, but also all the military equipment that passed through Chernobyl, which is about ten thousand units. Every Russian soldier will bring home a piece of Chernobyl – dead or alive…”
At the same time, Chernobyl is and will be an unhealed wound in the lives of Ukrainians. This day once again reminds of the importance of special security measures in the field of peaceful atomic use. After all, the world is so fragile, and humanity, introducing inventions, must be vigilant.
