Not something that affects many people. By Moscow standards, several tens of thousands is a few apartment buildings.
putin's chernobyl moment was sinking of kursk all the way in 2000
I wonder how they are now
If they stayed in army, they're probably dead by now. From fragments and bullets, not from radiation. Doses possible for them to absorb were much less than immediately harmful, but you could get out by claiming nausea (early symptom of radiation poisoning)

The Black Sea is their one and only domestic summer holiday destination... Used to be.
They call it The Blacker Sea now.
