File:Médailles liquidateurs.jpg

Description
Français : A partir des années 90, on commence à trouver sur les marchés d'Ukraine, Russie et Biélorussie de telles médailles, souvent vendues par les veuves de liquidateurs ou leurs enfants. De nombreux liquidateurs sont morts dans les 10 à 20 ans qui ont suivi la catastrophe. Une grosse médaille commémorative en bronze a également été produite représentant une femme enceinte sur le recto, et la cloche de Tchernobyl sur le verso.

Sur la photo, la médaille gauche, à l'effigie de Lénine avec la centrale "lénine" en bas relief est moins commune, réservé aux premiers liquidateurs ou membres du parti communiste de l'époque.

English: Since the 90's, in Ukranian, Russian, and Belarusian markets, one has been able to find these kinds of medals sold by the widows of liquidators or their children. Numerous liquidators have died within 10 to 20 years after the catastrophe. A large bronze commemorative medal was also produced, featuring a pregnant woman on one side, and a Chernobyl clock on the other.

In this photo, the medal on the left shows an effigy of Lenin with a central "lenin" in bas relief. This is the less common of the two, reserved for the first liquidators or members of the communist party.
