“Almost 900 Krasnoyarsk residents worked at the epicenter of the accident, 393 of them were awarded orders and medals for courage and heroism. I am grateful to the public organization of disabled people of the Chernobyl Union for the initiative to install the sculptural composition. It is symbolic that there are two figures in it – only together could people cope with a disaster of such a scale. Low bow to the liquidators for their feat. We will not forget and pass it on to future generations,” said Sergei Vereshchagin.
