April 26, 2006 marks the 20th anniversary of the Chornobyl  accident, 
the world's worst nuclear disaster. The Ukrainian Research Institute is 
commemorating this tragic event with a special presentation by 
celebrated Ukrainian photographer Yuriy Kosin who will show and discuss 
his photographic work dealing with the Chornobyl disaster and its 
aftermath.

Mr. Kosin, a nuclear engineer by training, was employed at Chornobyl 
prior to and after the disaster. He was among the 800,000 "liquidators," 
the army of mercy that came down to the "hell of Chornobyl." Deeply 
moved by his experiences, Mr. Kosin has devoted the past 20 years to 
capturing, through the lens of a camera, the human face of Ukraine. His 
compositions on Ukraine and Chornobyl have recently been published in 
the critically acclaimed book, /Through the Eyes of Ukraine/. Mr. 
Kosin's other major projects include "Transgressions," "Ukraine," and 
"Revolution that Turned into a Celebration."

Over the years, Mr. Kosin has participated in more than 40 joint 
exhibitions in Ukraine, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, 
Russia, Slovakia, and France. Some of his photographs depicting the 
Orange Revolution also appear in the documentary /Borderland: Ukraine 
and the Rebirth of Democracy,/ produced by Alaya Productions of Virginia.

/This presentation is co-sponsored by the Ukrainian Research Institute and
the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University
