Dogs of Chernobyl

05/24/2026

We are beyond devastated.

Last night, Russia destroyed the National Chornobyl Museum in Kyiv. 💔

For people outside Ukraine, it may sound like “just a museum,” but that place carried an enormous emotional and historical weight. The National Chornobyl Museum held artifacts, records, photographs, evacuation items, firefighter equipment, liquidator history—basically the memory of the disaster and the human cost around it. A lot of irreplaceable history was there.

And after everything already surrounding Chornobyl since the invasion—the occupation of the zone, trench digging in contaminated areas, the strikes near nuclear infrastructure, the damage to the New Safe Confinement—it feels especially symbolic and cruel.

We hoped for a miracle until the very last moment, but the reality is devastating: the museum that preserved the unique memory, documents, and eyewitness accounts of the 1986 tragedy is gone.

A cruel twist of fate and another showcase of Russian cynicism:
▪️ The museum was located in the historic Podil fire station building. It was from here in 1986 that commanders directed the first first-responders to extinguish the Chornobyl nuclear fire.

▪️ Just recently, on April 26, 2026, for the 40th anniversary of the disaster, the museum reopened after a major high-tech renovation. This brand-new exhibition lasted less than a month.

What kind of sick mind could see a “military target” here? There is no military logic. There is only one goal: an attempt to erase our memory of the crimes of the Soviet regime, of which modern Russia is the direct heir. Destroying and falsifying history is their weapon of choice.

It is currently unknown whether any part of the priceless artifacts and archives could be saved.

But the enemy forgets one thing: you can destroy walls and burn exhibits, but you cannot destroy the truth. We will preserve it no matter what. 🇺🇦

Thank you to everyone who came out for our sterilization clinic in Slavutych, Ukraine. The support we’ve seen here is incredible. Every single person who showed up is helping change the lives of these animals.

I am beyond ANGRY!!

Rex is one of four dogs cared for by Ludmila in Slavutych. She uses what little money she has to feed and protect them.

Last week, someone set fire to the dogs’ sleeping area.

So I stepped in and bought them a new doghouse.

Yesterday, during a thunderstorm, Rex was terrified and ran to an apartment building for shelter. Instead of help, a man beat him nearly to death.

Rex is now in the hospital fighting for his life. We don’t know if he will survive.

Police have been called and there is an active investigation.

If you would like to help Ludmila or contribute to Rex’s emergency care, please reach out.

We have completed 230 spay and neuter surgeries in Slavutych, the city built for Chornobyl workers.

That’s 230 animals who won’t have to struggle to survive raising litters in an already harsh environment.
230 lives changed—and countless more prevented from suffering.

This work is only possible because of support from SPCA International and Supera Anesthesia Innovations. We are incredibly grateful for their sponsorship and belief in this mission.

But the reality is—we’re not done.
There are still so many animals here that need help.

If you’ve ever thought about supporting this work, now is the time.
💛 $25 sterilizes a dog
💛 $15 sterilizes a cat
💛 $5 provides pain medication

Every single donation goes directly to helping these animals.

Please consider donating and being part of this mission.
