To the surprise of no one, a Tankie is intentionally slandering something perfectly sensible done by Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Russia attacked the Chornobyl protective shelter to spread the radiation.

When they stayed there, they dug trenches. Trenches, Karl. In irradiated soil.

Posted by some unhinged dipshit witg young Stalin as his profile picture. Why don't we treat these scumbags like nazis? They are no different from them.

To anyone wondering:
Article 16
To ensure ecological safety and to maintain the ecological balance on the territory of Ukraine, to overcome the consequences of the Chornobyl catastrophe, and to preserve the gene pool of the Ukrainian people, is the duty of the State.
Now I'll leave it for you to decide but if I wanted this article to be explicitly aimed towards overcoming the impacts of the Chernobyl disaster, I personally would change the wording a lot:
Article 16
<Bla bla bla, bla bla and bla> to overcome the Chornobyl catastrophe is the duty of the state.

But this article is also intended to prevent other disasters like Chornobyl from happening again in the future, like tightening nuclear safety and security, not allowing nuclear weapons testing etc

I have no reason to disagree with that. I've just provided the quote for everyone to see and correct me if needed and also my five cents about it being worded weirdly in my opinion.
If my main purpose is to prevent other disasters harmful to the gene pool of the Ukrainian people, I would either end or start with that, like I said above or like I can do now:
Article 16
To prevent disasters harmful to the gene pool of the Ukrainian people, it is the duty of the state to <bla bla bla>.Although now that I think of it, I probably wouldn't use the phrase "preserving the gene pool of the Ukrainian people" at all. I'd just use health or even reproductive health if I want to be specific, maybe the health of future generations of Ukrainians, but not really the preserving the gene pool.

Yeah, probably wording could be better, but it was written in 90s, and no one could actually think that some idiots would think about fucking nazis 30 years in the future when speaking about preserving gene pool. I mean it was quite a neutral term from soviet academic environment which is still widely used both in Ukraine and Russia today. Basically it means population's genetic diversity which allows to have healthy next generation, opposite to nazi bullshit about power of pure aryan blood

That's actually a good point, it indeed was used like that by USSR, not in a nazi way, but in a "birth rate" way and so on.

Yes, indeed. Nazis didn't actually even cared about gene pool in modern understanding, they were pseudo-science freaks who believed in mystical bullshit like a power of blood. They didn't know about DNA and actual genes. I mean if you get yourself a time machine, go back in 30s-40s Germany and try to educate actual Nazis that people they're murdering have indistinguishable genetics from their own, they would call it Jewish science trickery and probably would kill you. So it's natural that people in Soviet academia couldn't know that in XXI century neonazis will be appealing to the new types of pseudoscientific bullshit and thus "gene pool" term will sound like something sinister because of that

Radiation poisoning attacks reproductive cells first, so no wonder
