Due to heavy forest fires in Leningrad Obl. Region and Karelia there is a danger for European counties soon to be covered with caustic clouds coming from North West of Russia. This is a first time after Chernobyl disaster at 1986, when a nuclear power plant blew up and poisonous clouds with nuclear particles could move to Europe. That time Europe was lucky – winds stepped into
play and clouds went to inner Russian regions, causing in thousands of cases radiation illnesses across Western Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Thousands of families left their houses and everything they had, because of nuclear pollution. Still there is an area around Chernobyl which can not be inhabited by people. Hundreds of villages are standing empty.
