April of this year “celebrated” the 22nd anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster (1986)  - the worst nuclear power plant accident in history. Although we know that the Russians were performing some experiments, till this day no one really knows what the possible causes of the explosion were but everyone would soon found out about the after effects. Since Russia didn’t bother to notify the rest of the world, Europe found out about this “little” accident when the radiation levels set off alarms at the Forsmark nuclear Power Plant in Sweden. As far as  Czechoslovakia goes, the first signs of an approaching radiation cloud were signaled by the power plan in Dukovany. (more…)

Thanks to the Warsaw Pact the Soviet army occupied Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic from 1968 until 1991. During those 23 years those troops caused a lot of environmental damage to our lands. They operated in 73 localities from which 60 were left in a very bad shape. What were the main environmental problems?

• contamination of ground water by fuels like petrol or diesel
• dumps with hazardous waste
• unexploded ammunition (!!) (more…)

If you like to hike in the Czech woods, watch out because the bears and the wolfs are back! They happen to be “illegal aliens”, crossing the Slovakian-Czech borders in the Beskydy Mountains. You can read more about these dangerous outlaws right here.
