Extract

The increasing openness (glastnost) of the Soviet authorities has brought about a new era of accountability but sadly has coincided with a series of disasters, both natural and manmade. Chernobyl, the Armenian earthquake, and recently a gas explosion which involved two passenger trains have been reported widely and medical teams from the West were invited to assist with the care of the injured. We were part of a multidisciplinary team involved in the care of victims of the train disaster.
