The 'Beastslayers' of Chernobyl - or why there is a ISU-152 in the Zone of Exclusion

[Graham1973]

The 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was one of the worst man-made catastrophes ever, and the worst event in the history of the Soviet Union other than the 1941 German invasion during WWII.

Quite improbably, a vehicle of that war played a very minor role in the 1986 event.

WWII after WWII - Why there is a WWII vehicle at Chernobyl

Covers a story I was not aware of either at the time or later, and goes into some of the other vehicles that have been misidentified as veterans of WWII called back into service.
