Didn't the Russians dig trenches there and die? Wouldn't that raise the radiation?

According to the article, not in the pattern that this researcher found. I guess if it had been kicked-up dust, or emissions from a particular trench, you'd expect sensors near the source to register high levels of radiation and sensors near one another to register similar readings, but the actual readings didn't make this kind of sense.

All of Ukraine was not the site of a former nuclear meltdown.
