"Vichnaya Pamyat" in ukrainian/russian language is "Eternal memory" or "Everlasting memory" (like "eternal memory of all who died and suffered")

Stayed for the TED talk, happy I did.

So now you know...the Soviets built unsafe nuclear power plants and then did not tell even their own nuclear operators how unsafe they were, or even do anything to make the reactors safer. They lied to the entire world AND their own people for decades. The thing the show left out was that the Soviets knew how unsafe the RBMK reactors were since the beginning of their design in the 1960s, and that they covered up a bunch of incidents with the design that happened before the Chernobyl disaster, all the while lying about how safe the RBMK was to everyone on the planet especially their own people.

There has been a bunch of nuclear meltdowns from the 50s till now one of the first happened in 1952 in the chalk River laboratory in Ontario, Canada, and then in 1957 when Russia/the Soviet Union would’ve had their first nuclear disaster there was at least 2 to 3 per decade almost every country is guilty of it yeah some are safer than others but no country was perfect especially not back in the day

[@iKvetch558]

@@Touton701 None of the other meltdowns and partial meltdowns are really comparable to what happened at Chernobyl. No other country was insane enough to build unsafe reactors in large numbers AFTER knowing that the reactor design is inherently unsafe. Yes, other countries have found out the hard way that this or that reactor design was unsafe when they had a meltdown, but then they were smart enough NOT to build a whole bunch of those same reactors. The Soviets had something like half a dozen significant incidents with the RBMK reactors even before Chernobyl, including multiple partial meltdowns, and yet they continued to build the RBMKs without even changing the design to make them more safe. There is nothing in any other nation that we know of that comes even close to the level of institutional stupidity that the USSR achieved with the Chernobyl disaster.

@@iKvetch558 did you see me try to compare anything to Chernobyl? Did you see me even talk about the severity of each of the nuclear meltdown/disasters? I literally just said Chernobyl is not the only one don’t get upset.

@@Touton701 OK...I get that you are not explicitly comparing them, but you did implicitly do so, and there really is no comparison. You cannot compare even the other largest nuclear accidents, like 3 Mile Island and Fukushima, to Chernobyl...at least not in the amount of time that they knew they had major safety issues and not only dodo nothing about it, but covered it up from everyone, especially not even telling their own nuclear plant workers. Yes...pretty much everyone that does research on reactors has had some kind of accident, but you cannot compare actual accidents with Chernobyl, the malfeasance of the Soviet State made something like Chernobyl pretty much inevitable.

[@Touton701]

@@iKvetch558 I didn’t implicitly compare them if I didn’t say that one of them was worse than the others. I just said Chernobyl wasn’t the only one and then I listed one of the first nuclear disasters that’s not comparing it to Chernobyl that’s me saying that this one was roughly one of the first ones that ever happened. And then there was one in 1957 that happened in Russia that’s not me comparing those nuclear disasters to Chernobyl.

The Soviets and the Russians did this all the time. They had multiple nuclear accidents over the last 80 years and many, many people died from radiation poisoning. How many villages and towns were bulldozed over the years and wiped off the maps? Many.

Well be happy the Soviets were able to control it or or You and I would NOT be here right now.L.M.A.O. No Russian/Soviets women do not have to wear skirts. It just the style in the 80's. You missed the most important line in the movie. ""Gorbachev wrote in his memories that Chernobyl was the true cause of the breakup of the Soviet Union"" Right now Putin has soldiers fighting by Kiev and they have dug in ground in the exclusion zone and now many have died of radiation sickness, sad right. Well that was the mentality of the Soviet Union and still today much is the same. Well Id suggest you do a little longer clips and no so broken up. For a new suggestion Id suggest HBO ROME. Its a 2 seasons Drama about Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and Cleopatra .Very well done
