The Definitive Chernobyl Disaster Collection
The following books are not available to be catalogued, but still important:
Чернобыльский Репортаж (Chernobyl Report) -- primarily a photo book, published by the Russian Federation
Микроренґени Української Пам'яті (Micro X-Rays of Ukranian Memory) -- Ярослав Тарас (Yaroslav Taras)
I did not list anything by Medvedev, because he's a liar and a POS 🙅
List is based on reccomendations from a friend of mine, feel free to leave rec's for me in the comments though!

It's been a while for me, but when I was in college, I actually did a research paper on Chernobyl (specifically now it impacted the movement/migration of people)!! I read Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexiévich, which is a compilation of oral accounts of the disaster and how it impacted various people. Another read that was very fascinating is Memories of a Meltdown: An Egyptian between Moscow and Chernobyl by Mohamed Makhzangi, which is about the author's experience living in Kiev at the time. I honestly forgot about the second one because I never logged it on any reading apps, but this list unlocked a memory!!
Oh I have one of these on my tbr. Such a horrific tragedy. Thanks for this list
