Crime without Punishment
Alla A. Yaroshinskaya

Long before the tragedy of the 2011 nuclear disasters in Japan, the nuclear reactor 
at Chernobyl experienced an explosion, meltdown, fire, and massive release of 
radioactivity. Twenty-five years later, we still know very little about the event and 
its aftermath. Few of the professional papers describing the after effects of the 
disaster have been translated from Russian into English or distributed in the West. 
This is now remedied, with the publication of this definitive volume, based on 
original sources, and originally published in Russian.
Alla A. Yaroshinskaya describes the human side of the disaster, with firsthand 
accounts by those who lived through the world's worst public health crisis. Chernobyl: 
Crime without Punishment is a unique account of events by a reporter who defied the 
Soviet bureaucracy. The author presents an accurate historical record, with quotations 
from all the major players in the Chernobyl drama. It also provides unique insight 
into the final stages of Soviet communism.
Yaroshinskaya describes actions after the disaster: how authorities built a new city 
for Chernobyl residents but placed it in a highly polluted area. She also details the 
actions of the nuclear lobby inside and outside the former Soviet Union.
Bringing the book into the twenty-first century, the author reviews the latest medical 
data on Chernobyl people's health from the affected countries and from independent 
investigations; and states why there has been no trial of top officials who covered 
up Chernobyl and its disastrous consequences.
