“Milling wood doesn’t prevent it from emitting radioactivity, does it?” I ask our van driver and translator, Mikhail Koslovski.
“No,” he answers, meeting my eyes in the rearview mirror.
“Then what are they doing?”
“It goes to Minsk to be made into furniture.”
I want to make sure I’ve understood him. “People in Minsk make furniture out of radioactive trees and then sell it to unsuspecting buyers?”
“Da,” he says quietly.
