Trying to portray this whole thing as a cover up is pretty shameless. The whole world and everyone within the Soviet Union knew what happened within 48 hours...
Let's not throw stones. This isn't Nixon.

I point you to 18:08 in the video. The Swedes were not notified about the situation. It took workers going into a nuclear facility setting off their screening detectors for entry before they knew what was going on. They had to figure out where the source of the radiation was coming from. Only till the Swedes confronted the Russian government did they finally come clean with the situation.
