On November 9th, a rally to support a referendum on nuclear plant construction in the region was held in Nizhny Novgorod (a city 450 km east from Moscow with 1.2 million residents). On this day 20 years ago the Italian people decided with an overwhelming majority to ban the use of nuclear power in their country. All the nuclear power plants were soon closed in Italy.
