ID: anti-nuclear-movement-in-the-soviet-union

This movement was part of a broader discourse on peace, environmental issues, and human rights, reflecting growing public concern about the health and safety risks posed by nuclear technologies, embodied most tragically by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
