Monument to the Heroes of Chornobyl

In honor of the 30th anniversary, in memory of those who died during the Chornobyl disaster, a monument was installed on Symona Petliury Street in Brovary on April 22, 2016. This monument became a reminder to contemporaries of the sacrifice made by hundreds of thousands of volunteers who took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the explosion at Chornobyl NPP. Thanks to them, it was possible to stop the spread of radiation, but to reduce its negative consequences.
