Visit To Those Who Saved the World
During the Christmas holidays 2020 we were very happy to provide the Ukrainian Language and Culture Program in Lviv, Ukraine for the Fulbrighters. They are so cool team!
One of them Ryan Wolfe is researching in Lviv for nine months the impact of Lviv’s public memorials, museums, and statues on Ukrainian historical memory and national identity. He is writing his blog about his research and trips.
One of the most interesting stories there is about his trip to Chornobyl: “We were also very fortunate to have our tour be led by a former army engineer, who – along with thousands of others – was tasked with liquidating the area surrounding the power plant immediately after the disaster. He is a living reminder of the sacrifices made by thousands of individuals tasked with containing the fallout of the Chernobyl disaster.
