Time 01:23:40 on April 26, 1986.

Alexander Akimov pressed the emergency shutdown button of the fourth nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl plant. It was an act that caused the evacuation of a city, killed thousands of people and irreparably damaged the Soviet Union. This fact gave rise to dozens of conflicting, exaggerated and inaccurate stories. This book, the result of five years of research, is an accessible and fully understandable depiction of exactly what happened. From people's desperate efforts to stop a burning reactor core from contaminating all of eastern Europe with radioactivity, to the self-sacrifice of unsung heroes who entered radiation fields so strong that machinery could not work, and the surprising truth about the legendary "Chernobyl divers" to the final mock trial in the Soviet Union.
