Chernobyl - the tragedy of mankind

"Chernobyl - the tragedy of mankind" - a postage stamp dedicated to the sad anniversary.

April 26, 2016 "Ukrposhta" put into circulation a new postage stamp "Chernobyl - the tragedy of mankind." Indeed, on this day, 30 years have passed since the largest catastrophe in the history of nuclear energy. It claimed tens of thousands of human lives, negatively affected the health of a large number of the planet's population and undermined the ecological system of the Earth.

A fatal explosion at the fourth power unit of a nuclear power plant located near the cities of Pripyat, Chernobyl, Kyiv and the border with Belarus occurred on the night of April 26, 1986. Huge clouds of radioactive substances were released into the environment. They flew over most of the countries of Europe, hooked on the eastern expanses of the United States of America. According to scientists, most of the radioactive substances, namely almost 60%, settled on the lands of Belarus, the postal administration of which also in 2011 issued a stamp "25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster."

A new stamp of Ukraine "Chernobyl - the tragedy of mankind", dedicated to the sad date, made in red and black colors, which symbolize fire and death. The stamp depicts two hands trying to save the world from an unpredictable massive disaster. And on the right in the margin of the small sheet, the authors of the stamp, artists Sergey and Alexander Haruki, depicted the crucified Jesus Christ, since humanity had to endure suffering similar to those suffered by the Son of God on the cross.
