I assume the neighbouring countries were shocked and angry. Chernobyl was a safety nightmare, a poorly built and poorly run mess. Those high in the Russian government and military are corrupt.
Countries outside of the Soviet Union expressed concern over the Chernobyl disaster due to the potential health and environmental risks associated with the nuclear accident. Some countries offered humanitarian aid and assistance, while others criticized the Soviet government's initial handling of the situation and called for greater transparency and cooperation in managing the aftermath of the disaster.
because they can afford to prepare for something that may never happen. Poor countries, they have trouble enough getting through the day. They can't be spending precious money on rare, future events.
Countries prone to earthquakes, such as Japan, Chile, and New Zealand, have implemented strict building codes and advanced engineering techniques to construct earthquake-proof buildings. These countries have invested in technology and innovation to minimize damage and ensure the safety of their structures during seismic events.
I don't think so. Such an observer will be utterly destroyed quite soon.
Tornadoes occur worldwide but are most common in the central United States due to a unique combination of geography and weather patterns. Other countries may not have the same conditions that favor tornado formation or may not have as robust of a reporting system, leading to fewer instances of tornadoes being reported or making headlines.
It is difficult to determine the "worst" disaster as each event has unique impacts and devastating consequences. Some of the most tragic disasters in recent history include natural events like the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, as well as human-made disasters like the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986. Each of these events resulted in significant loss of life, widespread destruction, and long-lasting effects on communities.

1986 was 28 years ago. Some major events of 1986 include the nuclear accident in the Soviet Union's Chernobyl power station, the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, and the death of Georgia O'Keeffe.

The major events which sparked the red scare in the U.S. were the political takeovers of neighboring countries after World War II by the Soviet Union. These included many eastern European countries, such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Thus, fear was spread in U.S. political and governmental circles, and the domino theory was born (namely that the Soviet Union would influence southeast Asian countries to become communist and perhaps, the rest of the world).
Soviet Union was communist.

The Yalta Conference consisted of leaders from several countries including Stalin from the Soviet Union. During the conference, Stalin and the Soviet Union's occupation of Poland was not recognized creating animosity, mistrust and resentment, ultimately leading to the Cold War.
Probably the one that is a lasting part of his legacy is the USA boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics as a protest to The Soviet Union's disregard for the human rights of other European countries.
