    Chornobyl is the Ukrainian spelling (well, the romanization of it anyways), while Chernobyl is the Russian version. Many people and news organizations switched to the Ukrainian spelling for obvious reasons, same thing happened with Kiev -> Kyiv.

        It’s not about randomly changing letters. In Ukrainian it’s always been Чорнобиль but the Russians imposed their language on all Soviet regions.
