Boris Aleksandrovich Baranov (Russian: Борис Александрович Баранов, Ukrainian: Борис Олександрович Баранов; 11 November 1940 — 6 April 2005) was an engineer who worked at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. After the disaster, he was one of the three men in the "suicide squad" team to drain the steam suppression pools under the fourth reactor building, thus preventing the reactor from exploding.
Baranov lived almost 20 years after the Chernobyl disaster, passing away in Kyiv, Ukraine on 6 April 2005, aged 64. In 2019, he was posthumously awarded the title Hero of Ukraine.[1][2][3]
