Ukraine is preparing to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the worst nuclear accident in history, at the Chernobyl power plant, on April 26, 1986. A catastrophe whose story is not finished, as the lies and untruths swept across the Soviet Union and Europe 40 years ago, like radioactive residue. A tragedy within a tragedy because the power station which still carries a gaping wound in its heart found itself in the middle of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Chernobyl, a radioactive past? Let's talk about it with David Korn-Brzoza, director of "Chernobyl, a tragedy without end" (France Télévisions, 2026), Laurent Coumel, lecturer in History at Inalco, co-author of "Chernobyl, the atomized memory" (ed. JC Lattès, 2026) and historical advisor to the documentary series "Chernobyl, a tragedy without end" (France Télévisions, 2026) and Emmanuelle Chaze, France 24 correspondent in Ukraine.
