Contents/Summary

Summary
“Raspad” is Russian for collapse or deterioration. This Ukrainian-US co-production was made with the Soviet Government approval in 1989-90, before the actual breakup of the Soviet Union. The film is a mixture evocative of epics, documentaries, intimate drama, and science fiction centering on Shakurov, a journalist who has just returned from an assignment in Greece to his home in Kiev. A fictionalization of a true event, this is the story of the tragic nuclear power disaster that occurred in the Soviet plant at Chernobyl when it exploded and burned, spreading contaminants over half the surrounding countryside.
