On April 26, 2026, marking the 40th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, a themed exhibition of remembrance “Chernobyl. A Long Trace Through the Years” is presented at the Scientific and Technical Library (room 66).Time does not heal — it only distances us from the epicenter, but not from the consequences.
On April 26, 2026, Ukraine and the world commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster — the largest man-made environmental accident in human history. Four decades ago, the explosion at the 4th reactor unit of the ChNPP forever changed the fate of millions, turning the flourishing land of Polissia into an exclusion zone. 
The exhibition brings together documentary materials, recollections of liquidators, and works of fiction that help to comprehend the scale of the tragedy and the heroism of those who, at the cost of their own lives, protected the world from nuclear apocalypse.
Books, memories, testimonies — these are the voices of the past addressing us today: remember…For Chernobyl is not only history. It is a lesson we have no right to forget.
We bow our heads. We remember.
We preserve the world for the sake of the future.
