The video shows a Soviet government conference hall, with a large U-shaped table and the hammer and sickle emblem in the background. In the days following the explosion at the Chernobyl reactor, critical meetings were held here between officials, politicians, and scientists.

The image recalls the weight of decisions made behind closed doors, far from the eyes of the population.
