Magnificent and artistic portraits of Soviet-era control rooms appear to have been taken from a science fiction movie

During the 69 years of its existence, the Soviet Union became an industrial and technology giant. So the republics of the Soviet Union undertook many proactive and innovative projects (and most of these republics are members who are unwilling to join the union, and these countries are forced to remain behind the Iron Curtain by force). As the Union sent the first man into space, he was one of the influencing parties in the defeat of Nazi Germany, along with a list of interesting achievements of the Soviet Union, regardless of the flaws permeating the structure of Soviet societies.

Citizens in some countries today, Russia and Belarus in particular, feel a sense of nostalgia for the past when remembering the days of the Soviet Union. Life was hard, and freedoms were limited. As for traveling abroad, it was almost impossible, except for a group of influential people, but there was a kind of security that no longer exists today.
From the ashes of the Soviet Union and nostalgia to return to the days of the Soviets, subcultures characterized by their strange attire, architecture, and the revival of abandoned Soviet-era industries emerged, to allow young people who did not experience a brutal life experience during the Soviet era, seeing them sipping coffee in cafes full of Lenin's images And (Trotsky) and (Yuri Gagarin), who are completely ignorant of the pain and suffering endured by whole countries in labor camps, of course the proportion of pain and suffering varies from country to country. All symbols of communism are illegal in Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland and other countries, while today we can see the slogan of the Soviet (hammer and sickle) openly in Russia.

There is one thing in the Soviet era that we still talk about how beautiful it is: the strange beauty of the control rooms dating back to the time of the Soviet Union. Before we got to digitization, power stations, railway systems, space programs, and nuclear weapons had to be monitored by huge control rooms containing a set of buttons, switches, gauges, and meters that looked like they were taken from classic science fiction movies.

This type of remote control room shown in these pictures reminds us of the day when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Barbiyat, Ukraine, on April 25, 1986, was caused by a catastrophic explosion and fire caused by human error, which resulted in the worst nuclear explosion. In the world.

According to Reuters news agency, workers at the facility violated safety laws, shutting down important control systems in the fourth section of the plant's reactor, which caused a drop in energy. The workers raised the energy, and the energy rush led to a series of explosions at 1:24 am, these explosions led to the explosion of the reactor cover made of concrete and heavy steel, which led to the formation of a cloud of radioactive dust, which in turn began to escalate across northwestern Europe , And reach the far east of the United States. The radioactive strontium cloud, cesium and plutonium have had a major impact on Ukraine and Belarus, as well as parts of Russia and Europe.

The Chernobyl Forum (which is made up of 8 agencies of the United Nations and the governments of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia) estimated the death toll from this explosion at a few thousand people, and the United Nations agencies stated that about 4000 people would die due to radiation exposure. The environmental group (Greenpeace) indicated that the number of deaths far exceeded these estimates, as 93,000 people died from cancer injuries worldwide, while the Ukrainian Chernobyl Association, a non-governmental body, indicated that the number of deaths resulting from these The disaster has reached about 734 thousand people.
