The play 'Sarcophagus' is a representation of the Chornobyl disaster, reflecting the corruption and repression in Soviet society during a time when truth was finally being encouraged.
Vladimir Gubarev's writing captures the horror of Chornobyl while addressing societal issues like alcoholism and corruption, which were taboo topics under the Soviet regime.
'Sarcophagus' made it possible to speak candidly about the failures of the Soviet system, using Chornobyl as a metaphor for the oppressive nature of the closed society.
The concept of the sarcophagus serves as both a physical and metaphorical representation of the Soviet state's attempts to contain its truths and its failings.
