Bellona in Russia
The Bellona Foundation is one of the world’s pre-eminent non-governmental organisations working with nuclear problems in Russia. Indeed, the birth of the organisation itself in 1986 coincides with the Chernobyl disaster of the same year, when Russia was still a part of the Soviet Union.

Environmental information in Russia
Bellona Web (www.bellona.org) was started in 1995 with the aim of distributing information about, and maintaining international attention on, the Nikitin case. When Nikitin was freed, Bellona Web’s mandate expanded.
