I showed your pictures to my dad and he mentioned that one of guys he worked/works with was one of the engineers who had to deal with Chernobyl. Will have to check if he's still there because it would be nice to ask him some questions.
This is in a fish factory btw, as his work permit/ visa thingy won't let him do much else. It still pays better than his old job in Russia and god knows what he could earn as an engineer here with his level of qualification and experence.
Edit - turns out he's moved on.
