That morning of April 1986 was sunnier than the other, Ivan Demenenko had met 23 years ago and looked at the little station next to a bus lane to reach his job at the factory worker electric cookers. A tiny Lada two police commissioners passed first, the ombudsmen him into the back of the car, where they were already two other people. It was exactly five years the week after her eighteenth birthday, to comply with mandatory measures to get the membership card of the Communist Party had scored in the formula of "patriotic work" box "Volunteer Firefighter" that was a favorite of young people in their generation. Had many advantages: they were very few emergencies that presented in this remote area, plus the compulsory on the first Thursday of each month were famous for a long session ended with free vodka for all. The two policemen not vouch when he asked about the emergency site. Demenenko Ivan thought it was good one day out of the routine his work as an apprentice welder. He only hoped that the fire was not in a faraway place that night to go with Oksana Shevchenko May Festival Workers today began in the village. Oksana wanted to go up together to the great wheel that was already installed next to the People's Cultural Centre. She was fascinated by these carousel high, his face stark white and librarian beginner stained pink after giving the turns, he also liked to eat the roasted chestnuts sold in the positions of the concern Ivan Feria.La Demenenko in vain, the scene of the accident was a few miles away. The two policemen and three other occupants of the Lada, including Demenenko Ivan were among the first people to reach the site of what would later be considered one of the greatest disasters in human history (reportedly very easy): the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine, then part of the Union Soviética.Los firefighters and police officers who survived were taken to Moscow for treatment and not to scare the world with the severity of their burns. Demenenko Ivan's family never saw him again. Oksana Shevchenko spent many afternoons at the hospital looking at the photo of Ivan Demenenko, he looked so well with his blue overalls fábrica.Las photos above were taken from "Der Spiegel", a sample the monument to the hundreds of firefighters who died serving the explosion, much like Ivan Demenenko without knowing what they faced.
