> I found this one[0] the other day where a radiation source ended up in the concrete wall of an apartment building. A whole family got leukemia, took 9 years to eventually have it removed.

I actually considered whether I should post this or not, but there's a game that deals with this subject matter, called Bright Lights of Svetlov: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1630920/Bright_Lights_of_...

It's setup as one of those "walking simulators" where you experience fragments of life in the Soviet Union from the perspectives of multiple people, but with a plot twist and tragedy looming around the corner. If nothing else, going into it the first time without knowing the story behind it was a curious experience.

For those less interested in actually playing the thing, there's an article called "This new Russian adventure game nails 1980s USSR" that goes into more detail: https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/334455-bright-lights-svetlov-...
