Author and Photographer: Michael Haritan

"Chernobyl: Causes, Coverup, and Consequences” by Michael Haritan is a powerful presentation
of the 1986 catastrophe in a timeline with personal photographs and a video that gives a haunting
documentation of the disaster site, a psychiatric institution and orphanage that is enlightening for audiences with
a rare view of not just a disastrous event, but a place and the people who once worked and lived there.
Michael's trips to Ukraine in 2016 and 2018 provided research information about the nuclear accident –and the
release of radioactive material still affecting the health of millions of people and the environmental
impact for many thousands of years.

Haritan has given over fifty presentations to audiences across the USA, forming the basis for his new
book (Amazon’s #1 New Release Best Sellers list) titled: Chernobyl:  Aftermath Of The World’s
Greatest Nuclear Disaster, a photography chronicle and introspective view including untold stories
and interviews from survivors of the Exclusion Zone. The presentation addresses the isolation and
abandonment of Chernobyl with stories, interviews and images of Chernobyl survivors, victims and the
babas still living there - and dealing with the imminent nuclear threats from Iran, China, North Korea and
another nuclear disaster and escalation with the current Russo-Ukrainian War. Haritan becomes one of
the last professional photographers to document and talk about Chernobyl as it succumbs to the ravages
of nature and war.
