Doctors were reluctant to go – aware of how harmful radiation is for the human body – just threw their (Communist Party) membership cards on the table, refused and quit their jobs. Before me, two doctors refused to go. And our Chief Doctor was a respectable woman. Her husband was in the Regional Party committee – third secretary responsible for ideology. And she says: “Seryozha, it's such a shame on our heads – nobody is willing to go. Maybe, you could, after all?” And I say “Sure, any time. Be my guest!”
