I lived in Minsk, 400km from Chernobyl when it happened, so I should count as one of those "victims". Still, I would rather maintain the deathcount of 31 people and the International Atomic Energy Agency figure of 4000 projected deaths.

Crooks will tell you anything in exchange of funds and media attention.

This deathcount is just for people dying by acute poisoning radiation before 90 days. Leaving cancer and middle term effects out of the statistics is not a realistic way to measure mortality here.

This is included in the 4000 estimate.
