Don't you love the New Russia, so much like the Old Russia?
Eerily reminiscent of the Kursk tragedy at the beginning of the Putin Era, in this hydroelectric plant there's a chance that dozens are still alive, trapped in an underground room, but they might as well be dead because the Russian authorities don't want to attract any more media attention to the accident.
It's useful to know that if another Chornobyl disaster happened today, the Russian authorities' reaction wouldn't be much different: cover it up, and if anybody talks, throw 'em in jail.
