Today marks the 20th anniversary of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, about 80 miles north of Kyiv. As I was driving in the car today, I was listening to NPR. Apparently, when President Yushchenko spoke today at a memorial service commemorating the disaster, he urged us not to dwell so much in the past and not to remember Chernobyl so much as a symbol of past tragedy; we should try to remember it also as a symbol of hope for the future.
