Jaan Krinal, head of the Gamma Board of the Pärnumaa Chernobyl Association, stated that the region was unexpectedly called up for repeat exercises and that no one was informed that they would be sent to liquidate a nuclear power plant disaster. Speaking near the “Taevatrepp objekt” memorial in Raeküla, the memorial itself commemorates the thousands of people from Pärnu County who were mobilized here following the Chernobyl nuclear accident. The memorial, which features a structure of iron and wood, stands in front of the Raeküla Old School. While the anniversary of the nuclear accident is on April 26th, the long-term consequences affect the region for at least 20,000 years, given the half-life of plutonium. Krinal’s comments highlight the unexpected nature of the mobilization for refresher training exercises. The memorial serves as a physical reminder of the significant local involvement following the disaster. The structure, named “Taevatrepp objekt,” commemorates the collective effort of the community in response to the incident. The site continues to serve as a focal point for remembrance regarding the Chernobyl catastrophe and its lasting environmental impact on the surrounding areas.
