The Results Show That Living And Working In Your Village Will Cause No Harm To Adults Or Children.So Began A Pamphlet Issued By The Ukrainian Ministry Of Healthwhich, Despite Its Optimistic Beginnings, Went On To Warn Its Readers Against Consuming Local Milk, Berries, Or Mushrooms, Or Going Into The Surrounding Forest. This Was Only One Of Many Misleading Bureaucratic Manuals That, With Apparent Good Intentions, Seriously Underestimated The Farreaching Consequences Of The Chernobyl Nuclear Catastrophe.After 1991, International Organizations From The Red Cross To Greenpeace Sought To Help The Victims, Yet Found Themselves Stymied By Postsoviet Political Circumstances They Did Not Understand.
