The reactor exploded because of communism. Its not the only terrible ideology. But it is one that is still sold to ignorant , impressionable semi adults as a viable option. Lies. Communism blew up that reactor because Communism causes poverty. An inviolate law of economics. Communism caused the explosion because the primary trade commodity that replaced income was appointing positions of power. Where rather than those most competent gaining positions of authority, it was those with the best political contacts that did. Because Socialism in any form breaks the feedback loop of effort->rewards->greater control over effort

[@gigachad6885]

Chad Solzhenitsyn : "You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

[@purselmer5931]

It is an exceptional story made possible by an exceptional human experiment inflicted on people not by mad scientists, but by the human subjects of the experiment themselves. The communist system, that takes everything we know about human kind and flips it on its head, destroys every person and everything in its path: including even the planet itself. A system built on so many lies that they are too many to count and impossible to fix: the entire system imploded, as was its only possible outcome, from the very beginning.

It was one of the most dramatic events in recent history. But they lied anyway. And if you don't find that unethical just because "it doesn't say it's a 100% true documentary" then you're a fool.

​@@hello7032 While it's true he had a very harsh style of leadership and made some terrible decisions, Dyatlov was far from the moronic, incompetent bully you see in the show. In fact, he realized quite early that he had misjudged the situation. He then attempted (in vain) to revoke previous orders, limit the damage and locate missing personnel until severe radiation poisoning caught up with him. During and after the trial, while Dyatlov did lie to protect himself, he also steadfastly defended the engineers present on the day of the accident. The show is great overall, but when dealing with real people and events, there is a fine line between dramatization and outright misrepresentation. Not every story needs a mustache-twirling villain.

I told a 20 year old girl at work about the show. So she watched it and we were talking about it.

I said horror movies don't scare me but Chernobyl did.

One of the most unfortunate things about this whole sequence is you know once Legasov basically called out that the Soviet system had some very severe flaws, and of course, the whole lying thing you know I think he knew that he had essentially just committed a form of suicide. The sad thing, though is the fact that this is not a new thing and unfortunately, it’s still exists. In China, even making an off-color joke can pretty much land you in a very similar situation. And trying to call out the flaws in the government system will likely result in you being sent to the Gobi desert or something.

[@thegreenreaper6660]

Those 3 were key-figures in the Disaster yes, but as Legasov clearly states: Not even those highly-ranked executives were aware of the designflaw in RBMK-reactors with AZ5, and xenon-saturation! There was a report on it, from a similar RBMK-reactor in Kallingrad, which also reported a huge powersurge, under slightly less pressing circumstances: A clear indication that there was a dangerous design-error there... yet this report was held back by 'the Communist Party'... presumably the KGB? Because admitting such a dangerous flaw in their prestigious Nuclear Reactors, and having to make adjustments, would make the Communist Party look stupid and weak!

They didnt have to, everyone in that court room was either loyal to the state or paid off.

[@itsacorporatething]

[@LordWyatt]

Essentially they were on camera. Like a previous comment said it wasn’t the 20s, or even the 60s anymore. The USSR was trying to look appealing to the World and it was growing increasingly difficult and now a Nuclear reactor worse than 100x the nuclear bombs dropped in WW2 just exploded under their watch… Now imagine if everyone in the room gets shot before it cuts out. Do you honestly think the West would just let it slide this time? Hell no if the KGB couldn’t handle this situation (without murdering their staff) then the USSR was too unstable to be trusted with Nuclear Reactors. Yep WW3, thanks to incompetence for a test, and a following Trial.

On the contrary... it is a prescient message for all who support socialists, or democrats, or liberal progressives... they are all liars, and are doing what the elites in Russia did from the 1920s on... they did whatever was required to maintain power, no matter the cost.

@@SS-yr3ijknew a kid from Russia when I was in university, he confirmed every very obvious thing you said. Nothing changed in Russia, if you have an ex-KGB agent in charge and his staff is full of ex-KGB agents? Yeah you just have the KGB still in charge.

[@la89ondevg]

So what I understand the test parameters were put in design specifically to use reactor as a nuclear if needed then why didn't KGB put somewhere in manual that please don't test run with these parameters or if the reactors were unsafe at the first place then should have included some extra safety precaution or atleast let the only reactor managing team head know that this reactor can blow up anytime so go easy.

the issue was the rods. they could have easily changed the rods and say it was an 'upgrade' but the issue is was image. the image of the Soviet Union was paramount to them.

[@michaelleskauskas3645]

@@FlyingPaladin it 100% did not, and you don't have to know much about the actual events to know this didn't happen. The director himself said as much. The TRIAL did happen, but this monologue most certainly did not. There is no way something like this would be said on record.

[@thegreenreaper6660]

@@michaelleskauskas3645 That is why its a TVshow, and not a documentairy. You wanna argue on how The Bold and the Beautiful never happened, or Star Wars? ....or Harry Potter? This TV-show used the historical material to make an entertaining TV-show and they succeeded with flying colors! Good writing and script, good casting, good scenes and shots. its for a good reason that Stellan Skarsgard and Jared Harris received an Emmy for their performance in this show. How many movies or TV-shows were made about WW-II? Did éverything in thise productions, actually, and word for word, HAPPEN???

[@gumnaamaadmi007]

Such a shame that Jared Harris did not win the Emmy for this role. He was robbed because the powers that be wanted to do some affirmative action.

[@sirsamalot90]

The one thing I took from this fantastic series, is that communism was the true villain. All of the ineptitude, and all of the time wasted trying to find out who to blame, was thanks to a communist regime.

[@AidanMclaren]

Probably why, despite its quality, this show was made to begin with. To brainwash you into thinking communism is the enemy, when it never actually existed in the Soviet Union to begin with.

[@Blunderflutz]

Ironically, an entirely made up speech in a shallow and politically motivated miniseries, and a message that can be used to justify any opinion, ideology or cause. As seen in the comments here.

Something my Dad and others have pointed out was that as soon as we stopped fighting the Russians in the Cold War (I know we didn’t fight them directly, their weapons were usually used) the Left ramped up their bs.

Makers of this series love truth so much that they made Legasov say stuff he probably never said during the proceedings. I can’t imagine someone at the Soviet court would stand up and start saying some moralizing Jesus mumbo jumbo. He would probably be stopped by: « Citizen Legasov, let’s keep the lyricism for another time and get to the technical details. »

As if your average western viewer could recognize the difference between Ukrainian and Russian. Because to the western ear - the audience the film was made for - it would sound like Boris and Natasha.

​@@jabler3529 Identity politics is just the basic idea of Marxism across multiple classes. The claim that a trans person's problems is other people not accepting their beliefs is just the age old oppressor narrative retold with different characters, and it's just as wrong in that story as it was with the bourgeois and the Jews. When you say that telling the truth is hate, you are exactly the kind of person who created this disaster. Nothing unrelated about recycling the Marxist ideology; it will have all the same effects as it did before.
