For the first time the problem of human and nature coexistence was seen as a simple, yet unsolvable paradigm – to be or not to be. 20 years past Chernobyl, the mankind continues to reproduce social problems, keeps destroying its environment without seeing the real Chernobyl has not yet started. It is ahead.
