Who is to say he actually saved millions? Yes he was a great hero, but can't many of the countless cancers each year be caused by the Chernobyl incident? The effects could be that far reaching.
Sadly, it is not mostly true. Dyatlov was a good man too and he wasn't so evil (he was shown like a freaking villain in the series). I can link for Dyatliv's interview if you want to watch it.
How about that Legasov suicide in his own cottage, where he lived with his wife and kids. and how about that in his tapes he saying that KGB done a grate work with evacuation Chernobyl and at all saying good things about kgb. How about that he was not a hysteric, as serial showing him. Go find Full text of his records, read them, and you will understand that person in serial, and person who made this records is a different persons.

@@Cortesevasive The reason why the disaster was even possible in the first place is the Soviet Russian "obsession with not being humiliated". Like most things they produced, their nuclear plants were cheap junk - made unsafe to save money (and line it into private pockets). In order not to lose face internationally and keep their image as a nation of "nuclear supremacy", the state eradicated ALL documentations about the flaws in their nuclear plants. Not even the operating experts would know about them. This alone is already a huge irresponsibility, not just against their own people but the entire world. Chernobyl affected, and still does, large portions of Europe and the disaster could've even been far, far worse because there was the acute danger of an additional, even stronger thermal explosion, which would've had a global impact. Furthermore even after the accident occurred, everybody who was responsible and knew of their error (from plant operators to high ranking KGB officers) tried to cover up the truth in order to save their own ass. The main concern of the soviet state itself was not to minimize the actual hazards of the disaster but to again, save their international image, so they lied, denied, lied... Yes, I think it's fair to call this a crime against innocents and entire humanity. Nuclear fallout doesn't give a damn about country borders, it simply spreads.
@@wildanS > Like most things they produced, their nuclear plants were cheap junk - made unsafe to save money Clown, are you describing US made nuclear powerplants? Because that is how real cheap junk looks like. There are 5 nuclear powerplants of the same type in Ukraine still in service up to this date. Cheap junk you say?
@@SirCap15 There's maybe some still in commission but I remember seeing a similar argument over Chernobyl videos and the answer was: They were forced to fix each and every design flaws of the RBMK to keep it running. They don't have positive void anymore, no nuclear reactor is allowed to. They removed every single Graphite heads on the boron rods. RBMK by design was a bomb waiting to explode, all it needed was a little human error from a stubborn overseer. It's not because it is still running that it means it's something of excellence, search on how much repairings, maintenance and upgrades were needed over time compared to a similar design.
@@wildanS That's why I hate this series so much. CHECK THE FUCKING SOURCES. RBMK reactors was indeed cheaper than PWR reactors, and USSR simply coundn't produce enough VVER reactors to comply it's needs. The Union needed POWER, not fecking image. But no way it was a junk. Some of the reactors still in service, it had better efficiency than PWR type reactors, and the fuel can be reloaded without shutting down the reactor. You can't just erradicate something that doesn't exist. RBMK flaws were discussed offten wihtin University that designed it, and the project evolved over time. Unit 1 of Leningrad NPP is not the same as Unit 1 of Chernobyl NPP, and Unit 1 of CNPP is not the same as Unit 4. Something like Chernobyl wasn't even considered, because it took not only graphite tips to destroy the reactor, it was combination of facts: Power, Xeon poisoning, burnt out fuel, water temperature, pumps behavior during experiment. The reactor had an issue with positive void coefficient in some scenarios, but it doesn't have anything to do with "erradication". The reactor was simply too big to accurate predict it's behavior on paper in some scenarios. Positive void coefficient was proved only during physical experiment on Unit 3 of CNPP. This detail was either overlooked, or calculated wrong. After the incidend, in August, Valery Legasov went to IAEA and tell them everything they knew about the incident. The only lie there was that they shifted the blame to the personell, so the USSR could have some time to fix the issues on other reactors (though by that time temporary measures were already in place). But believe me, it didn't make USSR look any better. "Second thermal explosion" is a myth. Even Legasov on his tapes says it. If creator of the show would actually read the transcript, they would know it. What does KGB have to do with the power plant I have no idea. Not in the series not in this case. KGB did not build the reactor. The Soviet Union suffered from this incident more than anyone else. The Belarus SSR and Gomelskya Oblast was hit hard. So it was in USSR interests to build the containment as fast as it could to prevent radioactive dust from spreading more.

Valery sounded like a gentle soul...and, at least at the time of recording this, a tired one as well. Who can blame him....Overseeing the superhuman cleanup effort of the worst man made industrial catastrophe in history, sending people to their demise because it MUST be done, spending untold billions, facing a somewhat hostile international community and eliminating your own life expectancy in the process...that’s more than any ten men should have to face down in a lifetime and he did it all within the span of two years. Obviously, there were thousands of heroes of Chernobyl but his burden was among the greatest. RIP, man...you deserve it more than anyone.
He wasn't the one sending men, he didn't rule the operation. He was one of the many people who worked there. An no one there sent people "to their demise".
@@BOBAH-HA at those radiation levels, yeah unfortunately people were sending other people to their demise. We don't know how many liquidators died as a result of Chernobyl.
According to IAEA reports I read about this, there might have been approximately 400.000 individuals as of 1991 who were liquidators. There seems to be a total of approx. 600.000 people who received special benefits due to their involvement.

I mean, when Fukushima had blown up it was made clear that Japaneese haven't heard about contianment either. They were releasing radioactive water and steam into environment for the whole duration of incident.

Thanks Valery that you were the one of the first people to understand the severity of this disaster before it gotten even worse. May you rest in peace for saving many people's lives from what the disaster could've been without his help
I find myself coming to this video time and time again... There is a certain feeling I have when I hear him speak. I feel at peace, almost as though I am listening to a dear friend.
It makes me extremely sad for various reasons including the current state of Russia. I always wanted my country to be open to the West and on good terms, the way Legasov is well appreciated by the foreigners is one of these blocks that could build a better country. But unfortunately it wasn't enough. If only there were more people in charge like Legasov, things could be different now.
Thanks to the Chernobyl series, I have learned to read Cyrillic, and can read the first two words "Vichnaya Primyat" in the above, and know what they mean.
This guy saved an entire continent. He went willingly into an open reactor. I realize the show dramatized some things but this man and Boris Shcherbina saved all of Europe. Literally millions of people would've died if not for the immediate sacrifices of these men (and everyone involved in the cleanup).
Вот он,настоящий герой,Валерий Алексеевич Легасов,автор,спасибо я давно искал эти кассеты которые записал Легасов,Вечная память Легасову,Он Герой всего Мира!Спасибо тебе Легасов
Thank you for allowing us to hear these words from such a man deserving to be heard. Im so saddened to know of how his demise came and that yet again it was another hidden hero. RIP Valery Legasov.
Professor Legasov - Tape №2 Side A - "Speaking simply of such impressions, of such observations, I cannot leave unsaid that on the very first day of my stay at Chernobyl, I was struck by two things. I'm used to treating people in the KGB (Committee of Government Safety), due to the nature of their work, as people that safeguard state secrets, that organize the control of people who are cleared to work in especially secret and important jobs, who coordinate services that allow protecting all the documents, technical documentation, correspondence which ensures that state secrets are kept safe. This is how I mainly knew the KGB. However, from stories and literature, I also knew that a part of this committee was engaged in intelligence and counterintelligence work. In Chernobyl, I met highly organized, very precise young people who fulfilled the tasks assigned to them in the best possible manner. And these tasks were not easy. The initial organization of clear and reliable communication; this was done practically within a day. On all [communication] channels, they worked quietly, calmly and very confidently. And I saw a team of young people led by Fyodor Alekseevich Scherbakov working. But all this was done just remarkably clearly and quickly. In addition, they were also responsible for ensuring that the evacuation is carried out without panic, without any sentiment of panic, any excess that would hamper normal work. And they did this work. But how they did it, how they made it happen, I still cannot imagine because I only know the result of this work. Indeed, there was nothing that impeded the organization of this unusual and difficult operation. And I was just delighted with the technical equipment and the culture of competence in this group." legasovtapetranslation.blogspot.com/ Read Legasov’s notes in full instead of watching a series of complete lies.
@@vadikgg4537 all he was talking about was relief efforts at the scene of the disaster. His true disdain of the KGB came out when they tried to censor him from exposing the fact that the state allowed these unsafe designs to be used at the reactors, operated by under qualified personnel, and the history of the rbmk reactors failing every safety test. And if he actually respected the KGB quota. He wouldn't have killed himself. What point are you trying to make?

Like many heroes throughout the history of Imperial Russia, and the Soviet Union, a majority are forgotten, and ignored by the government. This man was one of those heroes. The saddest thing is that his death is what was required for his voice to be heard.
Вечная память Валерию Алексеевичу. Своим участием и работой спас жизни тысяч людей. Пример того что никогда нельзя оставаться безразличным. Пример которому нужно следовать.
Such a calm voice and very beautiful speech. Rest in Peace Mr.Legasov, we remember you. And despite HBO made some mistakes, like making Dyatlov villain, they managed to create a mastepreace and millions of people who didn't know you before , they now know who Legasov was and what he did together with other schientists.
Дятлов был виноват в преступной халатности, но по сути на него, как и на других начальников ЧАЭС, просто скинули всю вину. Это грустно, конечно, но он напрямую виноват в том, что лично он довёл реактор до такого состояния. Удачи♡
He saved more lives than he could've ever imagined. It's a shame that a nation's goverment chooses its reputation rather than it's people. Make Legasov rest in peace, he is a true hero without a Cape.
Легатов-это тот человек,который не побоялся сказать правду в СССР. Обрекая этим себя и ставя на себя клеймо изгоя,великие академик,человек с большой буквы,моё мнение что он не самоубийца,пострадал за правду!!!! RIP🙏🙏🙏
Imagine that he would never know if his tapes would be heard. The political class could have destroyed the tapes and discredid him publicly and maybe the world would have never known that he was the true hero of Tschernobyl. May he Rest in Peace.

Valery Legasov did what no one else would, He went against the USSR and KGB even though his friends told him no. He solely kickstarted the end of the USSR, he exposed there Lies and flaws. He treaded onto Dangerous Grounds without a second thought, he knew the effects of Chernobyl on his health, the Radiation that was gonna kill him. He is my Hero, He is everyones hero cause without him Chernobyl reactor 1-3 would still be running today and maybe even have exploded. He saved millions of lives by disrespecting his friends to Evacuate Pripyat and the towns around. By all means without him Russian would've suffered much worse than what was brought upon us. This is a message to everyone out there, Lies will get us nowhere, when we lie we not only disrespect our truths but our lives. Valery stood up and told the truth for the world, for the reason of Good and not bad. He is the hero of the story who was the kindest soul you could meet. I myself have heard his tape's, read his journals and even his letters. He was a kind man, a awkward, calm and soully powerful. I have faith that what he did will forever be history. - Angelina.
This man did not deserve death, yet he knew what he knew.. and it got covered up he knew the dangers after Chernobyl but he got silenced.. what a man he was and he was spot on about nuclear power.
I'd not heard any of the original tapes before. Fascinating and moving, as is the amazing footage of Pripyat. I visited last year and recognised almost all of those locations. It's an extraordinary place.
Legasov is the definition of 'selfless service' that we were taught about in the service. It's good the miniseries brought this man's heroics and sacrifice to the forefront. Chernobyl in many ways was the collective (no pun intended) payback of decades of neglect in a system that covered it's mistakes with lies-all in the name of 'progress'. It was the final nail in the coffin of the Soviet Union that had been rotting from the inside out for years. (That some people want to re-implement....)
There was a lof of people just like him there. And they were raised by that terrible system. And can you explain me please, how did they cover their mistakes when they told entire world about what happened in every detail just few months after the incident? INSAG-1, INSAG-7, ring a bell?
This video was very useful for me: I used a part of it in my channel, in a video about soviet tape recorder restoration. I put a link for all my expetactors find the original. Tank you very much!
Valery Legasov was... IS a true hero, to speak the truth and knowing the consequences. A lot of comments, not just on here but on other forums speak ill of him for taking his own life but after what he saw at Chernobyl and the years following, can you blame the guys decision? A slow death to cancer or choose your own fate. I'm so glad the TV series has brought light to his accomplishments and the heroism involved in the aftermath, it's a name that should be equally as famous as Chernobyl itself.
I have decided to dedicate a lot of my art efforts on people who were inspirational and important, those who encouraged change and to respect those who have died. Valery was a great man, I will do my best to spread awareness of what was lost of his efforts.
рекомендую Вам послушать Чечерова ( участник ликвидации аварии на ЧАЭС), который увидел гораздо больше того о чем говорил Легасов..., в и-нете достаточно его записей.
If you could upload a version without the music, that'd be great. The contents of his tapes, and the footage of a city overgrown and in ruin after decades of abandonment is sad enough without the sad violin telling me it's sad.

Subs are on wtf u bitching about

He’s bitchin about the Stupid Obvious unnecessary background music and noise that has plagued countless of interesting vids sir
@arekkusu Rud Music is way too loud and almost unnecessary! I am very good at Russian but it still distracts me.
@arekkusu Rud I'm russian and and can't hear some words cyka blyad
@arekkusu Rud How the fuck is it not even that loud
Rest in peace, Valery Legasov. You will be forever remembered.
As will Valery Ilyich Khodemchuk
He really did try to leave a statement and cause for change behind when he passed didn't he...damn, I'm glad his peers listened to the tapes and strove for change
I mean, when Fukushima had blown up it was made clear that Japaneese haven't heard about contianment either. They were releasing radioactive water and steam into environment for the whole duration of incident.
@@SirCap15 to not destroy the reactor like in chernobyl, get your facts straight. the water was due to the destruction..

Valery, the world cannot begin to repay you for what you did. You are an inspiration to humanity. God bless you. We need thousands more like you. Rest in peace.
yeah so let's take tapes of legasov and cool shoots of prypiat and ruin everything with loud music...

Какая же речь у него, чистая и ни одного «кстати» «короче» удивительно. Великолепно
Интеллект высокий.
А чем эти слова плохи? Если прислушаться то он использует другое слово паразит "скажем". Довольно часто его употребляет. Так что если судить о чистоте речи по наличию слов паразитов, то она (речь) у него не такая уж и чистая. Хотя излогает довольно понятливо.
P. S. Если честно то и не совсем понятно, почему вдруг вы думаете, что ученый высшего ранга может использовать слэнговые слова, аля "короче". Вы такое гдето встречали? Я лично нет, поэтому считаю, что ничего удивительного в этом нет.

Jared Harris did an amazing job. The script was so compelling but I tell ya....it's just as compelling to hear it in the hero's own words, own voice. May he be remembered and celebrated for as long as we have the ability to remember.
Thanks Valery that you were the one of the first people to understand the severity of this disaster before it gotten even worse. May you rest in peace for saving many people's lives from what the disaster could've been without his help
I find myself coming to this video time and time again... There is a certain feeling I have when I hear him speak. I feel at peace, almost as though I am listening to a dear friend.
It makes me extremely sad for various reasons including the current state of Russia.
I always wanted my country to be open to the West and on good terms, the way Legasov is well appreciated by the foreigners is one of these blocks that could build a better country. But unfortunately it wasn't enough.
If only there were more people in charge like Legasov, things could be different now.
RIP big man. big heart to young to die the world needs more men like you
Вечная память героям ликвидаторам!

Thanks to the Chernobyl series, I have learned to read Cyrillic, and can read the first two words "Vichnaya Primyat" in the above, and know what they mean.
This guy saved an entire continent. He went willingly into an open reactor. I realize the show dramatized some things but this man and Boris Shcherbina saved all of Europe. Literally millions of people would've died if not for the immediate sacrifices of these men (and everyone involved in the cleanup).
Chernobyl is the best. Ever. I rate 15,000/3.6
😂😂😂😂😂
Nice I guess you have better rating for it. I only rate it 33000/3200.
He's in shock. Take him to the infirmary.

Well he was put on a team by the ussr I’m sure he didn’t have much of a choice
Thank you Valery. As the child of a Warsaw Pact immigrant, I call you tovarish. As Someone who comprehends what you did, I call you a hero. Thank you.

Thank you for allowing us to hear these words from such a man deserving to be heard. Im so saddened to know of how his demise came and that yet again it was another hidden hero. RIP Valery Legasov.
He proved the KGB wrong when they allegedly told him he would basically be insignificant. RIP Professor Legasov. 💐💐
Professor Legasov - Tape №2 Side A - "Speaking simply of such impressions, of such observations, I cannot leave unsaid that on the very first day of my stay at Chernobyl, I was struck by two things. I'm used to treating people in the KGB (Committee of Government Safety), due to the nature of their work, as people that safeguard state secrets, that organize the control of people who are cleared to work in especially secret and important jobs, who coordinate services that allow protecting all the documents, technical documentation, correspondence which ensures that state secrets are kept safe. This is how I mainly knew the KGB. However, from stories and literature, I also knew that a part of this committee was engaged in intelligence and counterintelligence work.
In Chernobyl, I met highly organized, very precise young people who fulfilled the tasks assigned to them in the best possible manner. And these tasks were not easy. The initial organization of clear and reliable communication; this was done practically within a day. On all [communication] channels, they worked quietly, calmly and very confidently. And I saw a team of young people led by Fyodor Alekseevich Scherbakov working. But all this was done just remarkably clearly and quickly. In addition, they were also responsible for ensuring that the evacuation is carried out without panic, without any sentiment of panic, any excess that would hamper normal work. And they did this work. But how they did it, how they made it happen, I still cannot imagine because I only know the result of this work. Indeed, there was nothing that impeded the organization of this unusual and difficult operation. And I was just delighted with the technical equipment and the culture of competence in this group."

Read Legasov’s notes in full instead of watching a series of complete lies.
@@vadikgg4537 all he was talking about was relief efforts at the scene of the disaster. His true disdain of the KGB came out when they tried to censor him from exposing the fact that the state allowed these unsafe designs to be used at the reactors, operated by under qualified personnel, and the history of the rbmk reactors failing every safety test. And if he actually respected the KGB quota. He wouldn't have killed himself. What point are you trying to make?
Thank you for posting this. Fascinating to hear it in his voice and his words

This isn't a man "writing" his memoirs. This is a Hero leaving his Legacy.
Every village, every city on this planet should have a street or boulevar named "Blvd Vlaery Legasov" ....this man deserve that honour !!!
In Minsk, Belarus, there has been a street of Vasily Ignatenko for a long time, by the way. My wife worked there.
Like many heroes throughout the history of Imperial Russia, and the Soviet Union, a majority are forgotten, and ignored by the government. This man was one of those heroes. The saddest thing is that his death is what was required for his voice to be heard.

Unknown hero. It is really sad people still don't know what he has done.
He was very honest in his opinions. This is main reason to get respect. He took it like engineer and without politics in the background. Brave man.
Such a calm voice and very beautiful speech. Rest in Peace Mr.Legasov, we remember you. And despite HBO made some mistakes, like making Dyatlov villain, they managed to create a mastepreace and millions of people who didn't know you before , they now know who Legasov was and what he did together with other schientists.
Дятлов был виноват в преступной халатности, но по сути на него, как и на других начальников ЧАЭС, просто скинули всю вину. Это грустно, конечно, но он напрямую виноват в том, что лично он довёл реактор до такого состояния.
Удачи♡
The amazing thing is I understood everything he said in Russian. Very smart man. Glad I studied my Engineering in Russia.
He saved more lives than he could've ever imagined. It's a shame that a nation's goverment chooses its reputation rather than it's people. Make Legasov rest in peace, he is a true hero without a Cape.
"Reputation" .. they had no reputation anyway. Everyone knew they were shady.
Respect to this real Hero 🙏🏽

Valery Legasov did what no one else would, He went against the USSR and KGB even though his friends told him no. He solely kickstarted the end of the USSR, he exposed there Lies and flaws. He treaded onto Dangerous Grounds without a second thought, he knew the effects of Chernobyl on his health, the Radiation that was gonna kill him. He is my Hero, He is everyones hero cause without him Chernobyl reactor 1-3 would still be running today and maybe even have exploded. He saved millions of lives by disrespecting his friends to Evacuate Pripyat and the towns around. By all means without him Russian would've suffered much worse than what was brought upon us. This is a message to everyone out there, Lies will get us nowhere, when we lie we not only disrespect our truths but our lives. Valery stood up and told the truth for the world, for the reason of Good and not bad. He is the hero of the story who was the kindest soul you could meet. I myself have heard his tape's, read his journals and even his letters. He was a kind man, a awkward, calm and soully powerful. I have faith that what he did will forever be history. - Angelina.
In remembrance of those who saved the world: The Chernobyl Liquidators.
So haunting to hear, I was in Chernobyl and Pripyat just before Covid and being there felt so surreal

Thank you for everything Valery, you saved many lives by laying down your own
God bless Legasov, You`ll always be remembered as a true HERO
Thank you for everything, Comrade Legasov...
heartbreaking
This man did not deserve death, yet he knew what he knew.. and it got covered up he knew the dangers after Chernobyl but he got silenced.. what a man he was and he was spot on about nuclear power.
Понимаешь что он записывает это до своей скорой смерти и мурашки по коже
Ему, мне кажется, помогли уйти из жизни!
I'd not heard any of the original tapes before. Fascinating and moving, as is the amazing footage of Pripyat. I visited last year and recognised almost all of those locations. It's an extraordinary place.
Legasov is the definition of 'selfless service' that we were taught about in the service. It's good the miniseries brought this man's heroics and sacrifice to the forefront. Chernobyl in many ways was the collective (no pun intended) payback of decades of neglect in a system that covered it's mistakes with lies-all in the name of 'progress'. It was the final nail in the coffin of the Soviet Union that had been rotting from the inside out for years. (That some people want to re-implement....)
There was a lof of people just like him there. And they were raised by that terrible system.
And can you explain me please, how did they cover their mistakes when they told entire world about what happened in every detail just few months after the incident? INSAG-1, INSAG-7, ring a bell?
A deeply sad and true witness...thank you for sharing
It's pretty hard to hear and even more so, understand what he's saying, since the volume of the music overpowers his voice by a large margin.
We'll love and remember you, Valery! ❤️
Как мне жалко Легасова... Ему даже медаль не дали, а хотя он прибыл первым на ЧАЭС...

Valery Legasov was... IS a true hero, to speak the truth and knowing the consequences. A lot of comments, not just on here but on other forums speak ill of him for taking his own life but after what he saw at Chernobyl and the years following, can you blame the guys decision? A slow death to cancer or choose your own fate. I'm so glad the TV series has brought light to his accomplishments and the heroism involved in the aftermath, it's a name that should be equally as famous as Chernobyl itself.
Valery Rest In Peace, A very brave comrade.
Legasov is one of those people that 99% of the world do not know about, he is a hero in my eyes and the world should know of him
So, when Valery Legasov recorded those tapes to be distributed, did he invent the podcast?
I have decided to dedicate a lot of my art efforts on people who were inspirational and important, those who encouraged change and to respect those who have died. Valery was a great man, I will do my best to spread awareness of what was lost of his efforts.
The music was completely unneccessary.
The tapes and the nuclear wasteland were enough to bring out tears.
It's amazing he had an orchestra in the background of his recording on a cassette tape.
I give this video a 3.6 rating, not great not terrible.
...But that's as high as the rating system goes.
You’re confused.
I think I saw graphite in this video...
He's delusional..
Get him out of here
a very beautiful and thinkable mix clip than you alot very much i really wanted this!
Мы никогда не забудем того, что он для нас сделал. Немного есть таких людей на свете.
рекомендую Вам послушать Чечерова ( участник ликвидации аварии на ЧАЭС), который увидел гораздо больше того о чем говорил Легасов..., в и-нете достаточно его записей.
"what is the cost of lies"was my favourite statement
Спи спокойно....ты хороший человек🙏🤝
If you could upload a version without the music, that'd be great.
The contents of his tapes, and the footage of a city overgrown and in ruin after decades of abandonment is sad enough without the sad violin telling me it's sad.
Ty HBO! Now I know the hero!
Music is so irritating you can hear what man is speaking but not focus on it... Good video but poor sound management

Rest in peace Legasov. You truly were a hero.
