How unique was the Soviet media blackout of Kyshtym and Chernobyl accidents in comparison to the nuclear accidents in the democratic societies? My research suggests that the governments, military and the captains of the nuclear industry all over the world have the same instincts, not to release much of the information, but the Soviets could get away with literally a murder, at least in a short run, given the full control of the media. This conclusion is a working one and I would be really interested in people’s reaction to my approach, as well as suggestions on what can be further done with my research in terms of its conceptualization.
