Bro you wouldn’t lose your job, this is the Soviet Union, you don’t do what they say you get a bullet not demotion
a lot of people are uneducated on the soviet union a lot of people don’t even take that into consideration when thinking about topics like chernobyl sadly most people don’t know that the soviet union was still in power during that time period
You have NO idea what you're talking about.
Neither do you
There’s a reason Russia is feared these people are about pride no rainbows either
@@JohnnyLaZyTitanLouwhat are you on about?😂
Please remember it‘s the first time in history that something like this happened. These guys had no idea whatsoever. On top of that there are some other reasons the show will go into more later on.
I think they're also showing that the people who lived near the plant weren't really prepared for what to do if there were an emergency, at least, not THIS sort of emergency. You'd think they'd have things like the fire drills we had in school, but with an additional aspect: these are the signs of radiation, this is what you do, stay indoors, cover your skin, immediately take iodine tablets (which should be in every home). It wasn't done because no one would admit that something like this could ever happen, so people just thought they were looking at a standard building fire 2 miles away. Even the old doctor in the hospital was clueless; he couldn't think why the nurse/lady doctor was inquiring about iodine tablets. She had a more up-to-date education, so she was aware of what sort of danger could be coming from an accident at a nuclear power plant.
Kind of the 2nd time. Look into Three Mile Island.
They had prior knowledge of earlier accidents and contamination from the Kyshtym disaster. Not the same scale as Chernobyl
@@binxbollinga nuclear incident sure. Different though and not nearly the same scale.
the reasons being communism
Sounds like Sophie expects a government to be responsible and have a plan ready for any kinda future catastrophe that could potentially happen. 😂😂😂😂
As history goes to show you, they only do that after the catastrophe.
Another example is the Three Mile Island incident. Happened just a few years before Chernobyl.
The reason the people are in denial is because in their country, they know they'll be executed if it's found out they made a mistake
Причин, по которой люди отрицают это, заключается в том, что в HBO знают, что потеряют лишний лимончик бабла, за не выставление СССР в злом и кровавом виде.

That's not true, actually. Not be executed. But be erazed from the society. Totally. No job, no money, no social connections. And this is far scarier, bc you continue to live, but in total isolation with no resources. It's surviving. The worse case would be a labor camp which basically is a prison.

A small lesson on radioactivity. There are mainly three types of radioactive particles, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Alpha is two protons and two neutrons moving relatively slowly. A piece of paper will stop alpha particles. Beta particles are basically loose electrons moving quickly. Most of your skin will stop Beta radiation but over time you will start to get that sunburned look from radiation burns. Gamma are very high energy photons and can pass through concrete, metal and most materials. The three ways you can protect yourself from radiation are Time, distance and shielding. You can block Alpha and Beta particles with basically a hazmat suit but gamma will still pass right through you so there is no practical way to shield against everything. You need something like a foot of lead or 6 feet of concrete to block 90% of gamma rays. Because gamma passes through most things the only way to really protect yourself is Time and distance. There's no such thing as a radiation proof suit so the only way to protect yourself is to get further away and or limit your time near radioactive materials. Radioactivity works on the inverse square law. For every doubling of your distance the dose rate goes down by four, so if you go from 10 feet to 20 feet away the dose is 1/4 at 20 feet compared to 10 feet away. One horrible fact too is Alpha particle are the easiest to protect against with a suit and mask but if you breath in Alpha the dust will get into your lungs and irradiate you from the inside causing massive damage to your DNA and cells. If you have a basement you should test the air for Radon gas that's emitted from the earth naturally. Radon emits Alpha particles and if you breath it in over time it can cause lung cancer. Fun fact, your smoke detector in your house uses Americium in it which is radio active but its no threat unless you actually eat it, and speaking of eating bananas have radiation in them too, but again you'd have to eat literal truckloads for it to affect you. This concludes my TED talk lol.
Thank you!
Thanks! Not a science person but this was great and easy to understand. I'll pay at the door!
Ahhhhh the fun of science when it hold the most horrific things you will ever get to know. Also thanks for the lesson on radiation it was very enlightening. The banana fact I knew but the smoke detector and basement ones didn't know. Now I'm worried about living in a basement. Well maybe not completely because I haven't gotten cancer yet and been there most of my childhood.
At 19:00 the guy wasn't afraid he was gonna lose his job, he was afraid the executives either have him shot, or imprisoned for disobeying his superiors during an emergency. That's why the guard is being called in, to kill/arrest him if necessary. That's why he's escorted, so he couldn't escape or killed/arrested if he tries to.
EDIT: In the Soviet Union, being imprisoned for long term meant slave labour camp. Disobeying the order then and there meant either labour camp, or getting shot.
The Soviets weren't shooting people like that at this point, calm down
@@topskek9786But that guy is old enough to remember when they did… you think that kind of thing leaves your mind just because the current administration claims to be just?
They would still Scape goat him out him in prison. They tried to cover it up because it effected huge landmass with the wind.
@@topskek9786 Stalin had about 9 MILLION people killed in the Soviet Union during his regime , not even accounting WW2.
@@topskek9786 Things weren't AS bad as they'd been under Stalin, but people were still pretty helpless if they went against the authorities. And it was quite possible to be executed if you were convicted of espionage or treason, which could easily be charged if you worked in a sensitive area like nuclear energy. These people would have always had over them the fear of prison, labour camps, destitution and isolation, reprisals against family if they went against orders.
I remember as a kid, I was told by my parents to not go outside. Living in West Germany.
I'm from the Netherlands, and my pregnant mom was told the same thing back then. Also, no one was allowed to eat crops for a very long time. And even today they still test animals for radiation levels in certain parts of Scandinavia, because they eat plants and fughi that have soaked up radioactive substances from the soil. Crazy when you think about it!
American, was too young to be told that even if we lived in Europe, but my mother is German, and her side of the family got wild as hell cancers in the years following this. I also grew up being terrorized by her absolute panic about nuclear war, fallout, etc, because of what started happening to her family.
It's wild that 40 years later you still can't go to that city and be safe. It's frozen in time.
That's what the power plant staff tried to tell the Russian troops in 2022 when they briefly took Chernobyl, but they ended up digging defensive positions and trenches in the radioactive ground.
I would not have slept in that trench for a billion dollars.
U can go it’s a tourism location since the sarcophagus was built and finish, I looked into going before the war, just not since the Russians invaded….
@@zolahVRlol, that was standard ukrocopium after forfeiting chernobyl. 10 trillion russian soldiers disintegrated from radiation
@@Pharmerlynda Same, I was literally planning a trip and then the war started. And yes, the radiation levels are low enough to visit. You still wouldn't want to dig up soil or live there but visiting a couple days is fine.
@@ryanhampson673 I will totally do it if this war would end…

The guy lagasov killed himself at the exact time of the chernobyl explosion
Explanation on the reason touching the stuff was so bad.
Every time you get 2x closer to a radiation source you are getting 4x the radiation. 2x further is 1/4 the radiation.(Anything expanding in a sphere follows this pattern, sound, gravity, explosions, etc). Touching it is like 1000x worse than even being a few inches away. Being 1 inch away is 4x worse than 2 inches. 1/2 inch is 4x worse than 1 inch. 1/4 inch is 4x worse than 1/2 inch, etc...
In these miniseries, you guys will face the harsh reality of the Soviet Union
Soviet FBI. spies are everywhere
And the harsh reality of radiation….

@bluewizzard8843 it's a lot more accurate than Soviet officials tried to tell the world until their hands were forced.
im so glad you took an art class... now you know how a Nuclear Reactor works.
One of the important things to realize about the kind of nuclear reactor they're talking about is that normally they CANNOT explode. Under normal conditions you can fire a missle into it and it won't explode.
But if a particular set of events happen in just the right order, the reactor turns into a low grade nuclear bomb and explodes. The chances of it happening is lower than the chances of winning the PowerBall three times in a row.
But at this time, at this place, everything fell into place. And BOOM!
They literally walk us through that in the eps coming up and the last ep is entirely about that. "How does an RMK reactor explode? Lies." Great line.
Chernobyl Power Plant had 4 reactors. Reactor number 4 exploded in 1986, the other operated until they all got decomisioned in 2000 (2 shut down in 1991 due to an accident, 1 shut down in 1996, 3 was finally started being decomissioned in 1999). Imagine working in the other reactors knowing what happened literally 200 meters away from you.
Also there were other accidents there.
In 1982 reactor 1 partially melted down. No one noticed it for 7 hours and when it was discovered it was kept a secret.
In 1984 reactors 3 and 4 had serious incidents. According to declassified KGB documents, Soviets already knew in 1984 that Chernobyl Power Plant is the most dangerous power plant in the world.
In 1991 turbine in reactor 2 caught fire and the roof collapsed. They stopped using this reactor then.
My question all through this series is how strict are our governments being to check our current nuclear reactors, keep them completely up to date, and emergency procedures. Its scary.
Didn`t you recon Maester Luwin from Game of Thrones? :D He is the KGB Dude
Iodine blocks some radiation from affecting your thyroid, which is the most common place to see cancer from lower doses.
Yes, they had a nuclear bunker in case of a nuclear attack. And I know you will probably get this further along. But this was a time of suppression and oppression in the USSR. These people were more scared of retribution than they were of radiation poisoning.
19:01 And...the two soldiers behind Fomin? You are not overpowering them too. Besides, if you refuse, ahaha joke's on you, you'll either take a risk losing your life on the reactor, or the soldiers can just take you around the back and end your life right there.
So, as the show will go on to explain, radiation is basically lasers blasting through everything in all directions and cooking organic matter inside and out, damaging your DNA (it’s why they fight cancer with radiation therapy - using the radiation to target cancer cells to kill them).
We’re all exposed to extremely low levels of radiation at all times, levels not high enough to damage our bodies within our lifespan. The total amount of radiation you can safely be exposed to in your lifetime has been calculated, and budgeted into what is essentially a daily dose of radiation. You can have X amount of rad exposure a day and it won’t have an adverse affect on you long term.
You and I will likely never encounter enough radiation in our daily lives to even have to think about it. But, dentists and doctors who work with X-ray machines have radiation badges that measure radiation exposure over a period of time, and when the badge indicates that it’s reached the exposure limit, the doctor cannot operate the X-ray again until a certain period of time has passed. This is to make sure they don’t exceed their cumulative lifetime exposure to radiation.
Being exposed to a nuclear reactor would be like experience a lifetime dose of radiation in one second. That’s not an exact scale, but it gives you an idea. And every second you’re exposed, another lifetime’s worth of radiation.
So being directly exposed to those “lasers” is bad enough, but once you’re no longer exposed, you’re no longer being irradiated.
For instance, you get an X-ray at the dentist, they shoot radiation into your mouth for the duration of a microsecond. You are only exposed to radiation in that microsecond, your mouth doesn’t become permanently irradiated.
However… breathe in radioactive dust particles, and now you have actively radioactive material inside your lungs, constantly dosing you with radiation for as long as it remains there.
So that’s why you’d wear a gas mask- not to protect yourself from direct exposure to radioactive rays (the “lasers”), because they will go right through your protective gear (except dense metals like lead), but to prevent yourself from inhaling radioactive particles and becoming permanently exposed to radiation from inside your body.
Chernobyl is in Ukraine, and at the time, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union (USSR), which was Russia plus a lot of countries all under Russian control.
USSR was one country, not many countries.
The firefighters at Chernobyl knew what was could happen (unlike in the series) but went anyway. The Pripyat fire brigades were supposed to have radiation gear but it was backlogged. The 'taste of metal' is a common sign of radiation poisoning, it's caused by cells lining your mouth dying. It sometimes happens to chemotherapy patients too. Its also why they lose the ability to taste soon after.
when they were yelling at him... His mind was already mush.
Am I missing something? Yeh. It’s Soviet Union.

So to answer your question for what was going on at 8:57. That is the reactor undergoing a runaway fission reaction. Fission is when a heavy element like uranium or plutonium split into lighter elements and release energy. The fuel is close to each other so the particles thay fly off when they split hit other atoms to cause a chain reaction which in turn releases enormous amounts of heat and energy. In this case there is nothing controlling the reaction and the fuel is hot enough to the point that it essentially turns into radioactive liquid metal that is burning at over 2000 degrees Celsius. The problem with fission is that it produces a lot of radioactive waste products, which in this case are being mixed in with other materials and being sprayed all over the environment. Those two workers looked directly into the reactor with no protection whatsoever. They are essentially dead men walking at this point.
The ignorance of a populace will be their ultimate undoing, and it will be horrific.
can yall finish a show first 😂
The iodine pills issue is important...you noticed it when she asked about iodine pills and the man asked why they would stock them. The reason they would is because one of the main products of a nuclear power accident is almost always radioactive iodine, and the human thyroid takes that radiation in very quickly...but it is very very easy to counteract that issue entirely by having everyone take stable iodine in pill form so that their thyroids are all so full of the safe iodine that they cannot take in any of the radioactive iodine. The fact that the Soviets did not stockpile stable iodine pills is a major cause of the deaths from Chernobyl, shows how lax the safety protocols around Chernobyl were, and stands in stark contrast to the way iodine is distributed to people that live near nuclear power reactors pretty much everywhere else in the world.

I had a friend once who was Belarus and had been in Minsk when all this happened. He later died of a very rare type of thyroid cancer. The thyroid absorbs iodine. If he had taken iodine pills it would have probably saved his life. As it was his thyroid absorbed radioactive iodine that blew over Minsk from Chernobyl. That rare form of thyroid cancer was not so rare after Chernobyl.
wow. this woman is extremely opinionated for someone who doesn't understand what's going on.
Sophie was right on the money when she said, "They weren't educated as to how that stuff was dangerous." The common folk did not have any idea how dangerous radiation was. Maybe the engineers and scientists had some idea, but it still would have been fairly speculative for many of them.
Такая же спекулятивная как и бредовая идея, что люди страны с самым большим уровнем образования не знали о вреде от радиации!
These were soviets. Their jobs were their lives, as far as the govt was concerned.
So glad you two are watching this series

Looking forward to seeing your reactions to this show. It was really fascinating and sad. And to think this really happened is even more crazy. Especially the fact those in charge went into Cover You Own Ass Mode from the jump!
Percy Jackson, Bridgerton, and Chernobyl! All bangers so far!
The really sad part in this is that one man actually died in the explosion and is still somewhere inside the plant. I cant say if it was in the reactor hall or but there is a memorial wall and everything there with he’s name.
his not he is, and two actually, but only one will be acknowledged here because he died then and there,
Valery Khodemchuk died instantly in the northern pump hall as a result of the explosion.
but the one who got stuck,
Vladimir Shashenok received thermal burns after a beam fell on him and fractured his ribs in Room 604. He went unconscious and died later at Pripyat hospital.
i binge watch this show last month but i’ve known the show when it came out just always forgot to watch it lol
Dyatlow´s son died in a nuclear accident on a submarine. So he was a bittered man. But he was not as bad as the show shows him.
radiation is basically shooting billions of particles out in all directions like a bullet, except tiny. so its not like a poison gas or a chemical substance really. so gas masks and suits and stuff help only partially, unless they're thick/dense enough to stop the radiation "bullet" (think the heavy lead-lined pads they put on you when you get an xray).
If you only get hit by a few seconds worth of "bullets" from a moderate distance away, from a relatively small source, you will probably not feel any negative effects, kinda like an xray, since the bullets are small enough, and in small enough numbers, that you'll be okay. However, some of the people here look right at the open blown up reactor, where the vast majority of the radioactive material is, so even if they only look for a few seconds from far away, they're essentially shot to pieces. they look like they've been badly sunburned, they will start to bleed immediately all over as if they were shot by a billion mini bullets, so on. eventually they will die.
The firefighter touched a rock that was radioactive, so while the rock isn't as big as the open reactor, since he was touching it, basically its shooting all its bullets right into his hand for a few seconds, which is why his hand is toast. its not like touching a dangerous chemical that needs to get past the glove material before touching your skin, the radiation bullets just shoot right past the glove and penetrate the body.
The nurse asks if they have iodine pills. From what I understand (someone correct me if im wrong), this is because one of the common radioactive particles is a radioactive version of iodine. your body doesn't know the difference between radioactive vs. non radioactive iodine, so it will use any available iodine you ingest for bodily functions. if you have radioactive iodine in your body, it will use it. it will shoot its radioactive "bullets" into your body for a very long time. if you take iodine pills beforehand, your body will use that iodine in the body, and the radioactive iodine you ingest will become excess waste that your body gets rid of, so it doesn't stay inside you for very long.
You don't understand. The Soviet Union was a totalitarian dictatorship. You can't just say "I quit." That's not an option available to you.

Love your channel! Excited for another year of reactions!
It's crazy, everyone starts out more afraid of being punished by the government and unconcerned about the radiation. Each character has their own transition to understanding and fearing the radiation more.
not crazy, that’s communism
so a couple things to bring in some context:
1, when they ask each other if they can "taste metal in the air", that means there bodies are absorbing high amounts of radiation and are going through the early stages of "acute radiation sickness" which depending on how much the body absorbed, it could be either negligible or absolutely fatal. in this case theyre absorbing so much radiation at such a fast rate that theyre basically being microwaved where they stand.
2, as for the black rocks the fire fighter was touching, that is graphite shielding for the fuel rods inside a reactor core. to put it simply, its highly radioactive and super toxic material. heres a better explanation someone else made regarding the subject:
"The graphite has the possibility of occasionally absorbing a neutron which causes it to become 'activated'. As such, it's now radioactively unstable and will emit radiation. The incredible Neutron flux present inside of a power reactor core means that just about any material that is inside of the core will be activated to the degree where it is very hazardously radioactive. Additionally, it is also contaminated by fission products released from the fuel at the time of the reactors destruction.
Radiation burns like that are possible with extremely high levels of localized exposure. However the show does quite exaggerate how quickly those burns would set in. The show depicts the burn setting in within minutes for dramatic purposes. In reality it would take at least 30 or so minutes before it would start to swell and be painful. Longer still for the skin to start to break down."
Aw shit here we go again
I'm wondering if these two call characters dumb and stupid for not knowing how to operate a mobile phone while watching a show about ancient Rome. Because this reaction is pretty much like that
Great reaction, looking forward to the rest.
Before watching this show o wasnt even aware that people died in this event let alone the unthinkable toeture the radiation did. I never did any proper research and i just assumed that everyone in the area was evacuated and that was it.
the only thing that saved us in Denmark was the wind!! crazy shit
Hopefully you 2 actually finish this show
Please remember this is the first time in history that something like this has happened. These guys had no idea whatsoever, and there are some other reasons as well the show will go into more later on
This was like being exposed to thousands of X- Rays.
I would encourage you to watch the 5 min behind the scene/ask the writer after the HBO show after each episode. They explain what is true and what was adapted for storytelling purposes. I think you will be astonished with the information. In fact, I’d be really interested erected in your reaction watching it too. They also point to where to research the historical facts.
Huge like. I agree. This will be an amazing year. My heart goes out to you guys ❤. Bless you all 😇
It is scary how clueless almost all reactors are to this series.
Think of your body like an ice cube, you melt and you can’t be put back together
That is how people didnt recognised superman. He is the guy wearing glasses from the beggining
This was the very first time a nuclear melt down had happen. There wasn't much rules because they believed it couldn't happen
Incorrect. The 3 mile Island meltdown happened in 1979 but was quickly contained with minimal radiation being released. Chernobyl was not a meltdown, at least not at first. It exploded and then began melting down a few days later. And there were rules. They just ignored them. You find this out if you actually watch this series
she didnt knew what a power plant is? lol
Happy New Year! you're gonna enjoy this show
I remember when we here in the UK found out about Chernobyl a few day's after it happened, the black cloud from Chernobyl travelled towards Western Europe where we in Western Europe were warned about the Black Toxic Cloud. Many countries in Western Europe took stringent measures for their citizens. It was very scary here in England where I come from knowing about this Cloud and what it contained. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 There was no Radiation protection suits at Chernobyl just Chemical suits, this Nuclear Reactor Explosion happened when the Soviet Union ( USSR) was around and where Chernobyl was situated was in Ukraine which was part of the Soviet Union which is known as Russia. The Soviet Government believed that non of there Nuclear Power Stations would have an accident, so there was no Radiation Suits at Chernobyl just Chemical suits that are not the right protection and give no protection against Radiation. Even the Heroic Firemen had absolutely no protection that is why they all eventually died painfully. It's no joke and saying it's crazy is not the right word and very disrespectful to those who died because of this actual true event.
The closer you get to the radiating source, the worse off you'll be. So the dude that picked up a piece of the core? Instant reaction. Vasily? Took a while. Men working the plant that were close- worse off, way quicker. This all depends on how much iradiated the thing is- on some things you can get close and be OK. Still today if you walked up to what's left of this melt down? Dead.
Episodes 3 and 4 will destroy you...

I'm not gonna add to the LOL SOVIET UNION and the LOL IT'S THE 80'S here but i feel like a masochist, I love watching Americans react to this series 😂 i was gestated literally under the cloud of this in Ukraine, born in june of 86. My mom was sunbathing under it, blissfully ignorant because the government said what it said, watching it while on the beach, trusting all the lies. This is how the world was.
Sadly the world still have governments and the media in their pockets lying to it's citizens. It may not be done in the same ways but one of the best ways to have people comply or go along with the lies is to have them believe they are "free" and "the best nation" while keeping them in a nation centric bubble and utilizing algorithms to funnel the biased information to the people. Majority of the masses believe what they see on tv or are too busy just trying to survive each day to notice anything outside of themselves or family. Or worse they know but feel powerless to stop any of it and sadly they're likely right about that.
Guys, I think you need to lower the lights a bit... You need to create a more cozy background. Everything around you is too white, too bright, it hurts my eyes. I can't focus on the movie clips in the middle of the screen.
Wow...YT is really messing around with the search algorithms...I have searched specifically for reaction videos to the Chernobyl series for each of the last 4 days, and today is the first time your reaction has showed up in the search results. Sorry your channel is being so heavily de-emphasized.
Here is a sort of standard comment I post on this series...hope you do not mind me copy/pasting it.
The more you learn about the history of the RBMK reactor and of the Chernobyl power plant, the more you may come to feel that a lot of context is left out of the show, and it could have been more accurate if it had revealed some of that...but that only matters if you intend to keep learning about the disaster after you are done with the show. Also, it is important to remember that this show has very few lessons regarding nuclear power in the West...it pretty much only applies to the Soviet Union or other similar totalitarian society.
This a really good series...one of the best ever made...but the producers did get some things wrong. Some things were changed intentionally for the purposes of storytelling, and the makers of the series put in a series of notes at the end of the last episode of the series explaining some of them. They also have a podcast that they put out along with the show in which they talk about other things they altered from the history and why. However, I do recommend you check out the History vs Hollywood article on Chernobyl when you are done watching the whole series, so you can find out about the other things that the producers got wrong that they do not admit to. Definitely wait until you are done with the series so you do not spoil anything for yourself.
ey, that's something I'll gladly join up for again

I just found your video. This series is historically accurate. You first need to understand some things about the Soviet mentality. First" Image" is the most important thing to them. If an accident occurs , to report info about it , is just as bad as the actual incident itself. You cannot refuse to do something if your told to..If you don't you are shot on the spot or sent off to prison. So no one refuses. In the Soviet Union, the KGB (Soviet Secret Police) classified the nuclear industry as "secret" thats why there isnt much knowledge by workers. There are no safety equipment, no procedures in place.
Only top authorities and scientists knew about nuclear energy. They do take film makers license with the effects of radiation. If your at a place where a nuclear bomb explodes your killed from the heat. Radiation works much more slowly over days, weeks, months, years depending on the level of exposure. So those immediate effects are not true.
Also you CANNOT get radiation poison from a contaminated person once their cloths are removed and their body washed.
Each episode gets worse. So be ready for it. You will not find out what exactly happened and why until the last episode
Dyatlov was not at all like he's portrayed. He realized what was wrong fairly soon, and tried to minimize damage. He never threatened anyone.
Likewise the radiation poisoning took hours to show these symptoms, not minutes.
This much radiation btw would require lead shielding.
The series took a lot of artistic liberties (like the exact cause of the explosion) but the basic shape of events is pretty damn accurate.
Ooooo yas yall checking this out. So interesting and sad. Also why men can not be left alone with science.
Oh your reactions to this show will be entertaining to watch... 👀

19:43 What they did wrong was listen to Dyatlov instead of following proper safety procedure. Dyatlov wanted this test to be complete at all costs so he could satisfy his bosses. What they should have done was shut down the test against Dyatlov's wishes.
That’s fiction, in real life Dyatlov was just their to observe. Akimov and toptunov were more at fault.
4:05 Mair must think all white guys look alike
This show slaps
This series is disturbing, but please be aware this is a fictional work, some of the historical figures were villanized for no good reason other than political propaganda and Entertainment. Remember this is a american movie about their big political enemy, sadly historical accuracy has suffered because of this.The figure of dyatlof is probably the most aggrecious case of that. The real dyatlof had nothing to do with this machiavellian and incompetent Version of the guy that he is portrayed as in the Show. He didn't tried to blame others. The real guy was described as a a tough but competent and fair boss by his subordinates.
Фантастически воссозданая эпоха!
(Ключевое слово «Фантастически»)
То есть выдуманное под трипом от героина и ягод «Антикоммунистической клюквы» не первой зрелости.

Кто тоже блеванул от такого количества антикоммунистической прапаганды и осквернения героев ликвидаторов, в этом сериале, поднимите руки!
✋
Я нашел только одно, на что поднимаю руки, это: 1. Лживость 2. Отрицание и сокрытие событий 3. Заведомая отправка людей на смерть 4. Абсолютная некомпетентность 5. Методы диктатуры 6. Отрицание реальности что реактор, несмотря на утверждения об обратном, взорвался 7 и 1 мая.
Пусть парад состоится, хотя масштабы катастрофы были ясны виновным, а КГБ уже эвакуировал родственников ЕГО 8. Все по-прежнему отрицается, хотя радиоактивные осадки прибыли в Германию и другие страны 9. Неправильно люди погибли и так далее и так далее
Я уважаю пожарных, шахтеров, спасателей, пилотов вертолетов, родственников, ликвидаторов и других помощников, а также жертву этих людей ради трусливых и некомпетентных руководителей и политиков, и я считаю, что ответственные за это за все это пуля в них должна была попасть в голову.
Их дерьмовый коммунизм - одна из причин катастрофы. Его ложь и отрицание ответственности - продукт коммунизма, диктаторские меры, жертвоприношения людей и т. д. - характеристики коммунизма.
Я поднимаю руки за все это!

«Красный циник» Чернобыль. Надеюсь умеете работать с переводчиками. И посмотрите.

Довольно-таки иронично, учитывая количество вранья, пропаганды, темного фэнтези и монументальных искажение фактов. Из которых правдорубы-сериальчики слепили своё творение. Ибо это самая страшная и опасная форма вранья. Как говорил классик:
Полуправда опаснее лжи! Ложь легче распознать, чем полуправду. Которая обычно маскируется, чтобы обманывать вдвойне.
Так и тут. Зритель видит что-то правдивое, считает что раз так, то его не обманывают. А затем не задумываясь, радостно принимает декалитры вранья.
Y’all are cute.
this series is the best education on how dangerous nuclear power is, if it is not VERY well build and maintained. but companies are all about cutting costs...so think about this.
You guys should react to some horror movies like the Conjuring or Insidious or Hereditary
CAN YOU STOP CLAPPING YOUR HANDS?!??!
