If this is really a locational and thus geographical question then Hungary, because it is landlocked. The fact that both Hungary and Poland are ex-communist countries is less of a locational question. After all, Austria is east of part of the Czech Republic and the former East Germany, yet it wasn't part of the "Eastern Bloc".

The Chernobyl accident occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). It is regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear power. Because there was no containment building, a plume of radioactive fallout drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, UK, and the eastern United States. Large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of roughly 200,000 people. About 60% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus.

Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko or Alaksandar Ryhoravič Lukashenka (Belarusian: Алякса́ндар Рыго́равіч Лукашэ́нка, Russian: Алекса́ндр Григо́рьевич Лукаше́нко) (born August 30, 1954) has been the President of Belarus since 1994.\n\nSince assuming office, his actions have been described by detractors as authoritarian and dictatorial, while his supporters claim that his policies have spared Belarus the worst effects of post-Soviet economic reform.\n\nA former state farm (sovkhoz) director, Lukashenko is widely credited in Belarus with restoring Belarus's shattered post-Soviet economy. A 2005 World Bank report judged that "economic growth in Belarus has been genuine and robust", and the benefits have been widely shared among the population. Under Lukashenko, official unemployment stands at less than 2 percent, poverty has fallen, and the average monthly income is higher than in many other former Soviet republics, including Ukraine (see [3]). This stands in stark contrast to, for instance, the devastating early effects of economic transformation in neighboring Russia, where life expectancy has dropped dramatically since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.\n\nCritics attribute Belarus's economic growth to subsidized energy from Russia and favored access to the Russian market for Belarus' industrial products (see [4]).\n\nLukashenko's relations with the West, especially the United States, have been extremely strained. Lukashenko has been attacked by the U.S. as "Europe's last dictator" and leaders of one of the world's "outposts of tyranny," citing the continuation of restrictions on freedom of speech and the press, peaceful assembly, and religion under his leadership and reports of electoral fraud. Belarus has also been barred from joining the Council of Europe.\n\nWhile some independent Western and Russian polling agencies have found that Lukashenko is genuinely popular in Belarus, observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have not considered any of the elections held in Belarus under Lukashenko's leadership to have been free and fair
