Radiation and Agriculture: Financial Effects
My project covers how the aftermath of Chernobyl impacted Eastern European nations financially both immediately after the crisis and into the 21st century. Primarily, I focus on the Eastern European agriculture sector and examine what role the agriculture crisis played in the overall financial struggles of the USSR nearing the end of its existence.
