At night, April 26, 2021, Bishop Baryshevsky Victor on the day of the 35th anniversary of the Chernobyl tragedy, performed a requiem for the liquidators and victims of the disaster at the monument to the Warriors of Chernobyl on the territory of the temple complex in honor of the Archangel of God Michael in Kiev, according to the Information and Educational Department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The memorial service was attended by representatives of the state authorities, liquidators, members of the families of the victims.

After its completion, at 1:00 23 minutes (at the moment when the reactor on the 4th unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded), a memorial alarm sounded – 35 blows, the number of which is equal to the number of years separating us from that terrible catastrophe.
