@@chickencurry7642 Definitely negligent. But the USSR intentionally censored multiple studies showing how unstable the reactor is at low or even normal power levels. They could’ve easily installed better safety measures and informed the power plant engineers. But they didn’t. Dyatlov was experienced, and had no idea anything he was doing was dangerous. He wasn’t a dick like he was in the show. You get bad safety features, and engineers trying to please authoritarian party officials, it leads to problems. The RBMK was so cheap and powerful, the USSR built the thing en masse before there was even a fully functioning prototype.

@@Neckername1 "And if anyone disagrees; they have an attitude problem and don't have to work here anymore." So... you fire people for disagreeing with you? " See if I say I listen to my employees and treat them right, then my employees are are listened to and treated right." The point of listening to your employees is that they _are_ your company. If you create an atmosphere where your employees are afraid to talk about things hat are going wrong then they will cover them up and let the problems grow until something goes seriously wrong, like an exploding nuclear reactor. Read "the field guide to understanding human error" by Sidney Dekker, it explains the difference between "who did it" and "what made them do it". The short version: your employees are neither incompetent nor malicious. When something goes wrong it's an accident and it very likely that there is something in your procedures that is more likely to be done wrong than right and that _must_ be fixed. Saying "you should have paid more attention" is not a solution, it's an incompetent boss saying the only nonsense they know. Those people should not be in charge. Also: it is _very_ important to let your employees explain what happened _without_ fear of being fired. If they are scared then they will not tell you the truth and you will think that it's just a freak accident that is not likely to return, and your employees will walk on eggshells trying to avoid mistakes and that will stress them out, they will report sick more often and since you have done nothing to actually prevent the mistake: it will happen again. And again. And again. Firing a person who makes a mistake just replaces a person who had trouble doing that job with a person who has no experience doing that job. Only a proper idiot boss would do that.

Dyatlov was actually a very good person, but when I say really, really. It's just Chernobyl HBO really wanted to blame dyatlov for what happened so they of course made people think that Dyatlov was rude. Everything you see here in the HBO Chernobyl about Dyatlov begin rude, that never happened, Dyatlov wasn't rude, and never wanted to be rude. Dyatlov even risked his own life to death to try and rescue his fellow mates in the Unit 4 Block, he went in all rooms, trying to search for people to rescue. HBO Chernobyl is just, 100% inaccurate, 100% useless movie to watch, none of the facts In the movie are right. Dyatlov was arrested for regulations that in 1986 didn't exist, basically that he got falsely arrested for death sentence, but since they were added in like early 1987, In the final trial in 1987, he was accused of those, there was none of the regulations he was accused of in 1986.

I feel bad for the real Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov. His experiences and what happened to him left him scarred. His reputation was ultimately known as the man who blamed was for the chernobyl disaster. Even more worse and sad how, since HBO released the TV series, Dyatlov will be known as the monster who deserved everything that came his way. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Real Dyatlov was actually a good guy, a firm boss, but he was caring and respectful. None of the altercations seem in the show happened IRL at the control room the night of the disaster. In reality the room was completely calm and no arguments leading up to the explosion. Unfortunately HBO had to create more drama for the characters, so the took a poor old man and turned him into the devil we know as Comrade Dyatlov. The real Anatoly Dyatlov ultimately died from his efforts done that night (not shown in TV show conveniently). He got a fatal dose of radiation while trying to find missing Khodemchuck. He also tried multiple times to tell Akimov and Toptunov to go home, the refused (which would lead to their deaths). Real Dyatlov cared about his coworkers. We should all just let the man rest in peace. The things he saw and the mistakes he made (including accidently sending two men to their deaths) scarred him for life. He was put in the worst situation possible... maybe let's give this man a rest. Also realize a lot of HBO Dyatlov is Hollywood.

Well, thats showcased in the start of the series where Fomin tells Dyatlov that Bryukhanov will be promoted away to a fat job in Moscow, Fomin receive a promotion to Bryukhanov's station of Plant Director, and Dyatlov asking Fomin that 'he'd like to be considered' for Fomin's job.... Friends-policy, corruption, arselicking, and covering for eachother... Bryukhanov hád already signed off to Moscow that the Test was completed succesfully, yet Moscow demanded to see the test-results: Fomin and Dyatlov were to 'produce' those test-results, ASAP, to cover up for Bryukhanov's lie. As a reward for covering for him, they'd also be promoted, as it'd be Bryukhanov's call, at his new station in Moscow. Though this sort of 'procedures' isnt 'patented' by the Communist Party... this sort of covering up, arselicking, and 'giving away prestigious jobs' to eachother, is happening éverywhere in the world! Perhaps even more so in Capitalist Nations nowadays... Chernobyl was a good example of how corruption, greed, and all the lies that come with it, can lead to ultimate disaster! As Legasov stated 'beautifully' in the show's finale: "Every lie, incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt will be paid".

Durig the construction of Chernobyl units 3 and 4, Dyatlov complained to much about the poor quality of construction materials and was re-assigned to a different job.

They did an amazing job at capturing the feeling of Communist bureaucracy and the frustration and manipulation it manifested in its citizens.

It's actually HBO portraying CAPITALIST leadership and pretending that's what happened in Chernobyl. The series is over-the-top anti-socialist propaganda packed with disinformation to make the USSR look bad and portray Soviet leadership like selfish, power-hungry sociopaths. This series is especially unfair to Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov. His real experiences and what happened to him left him scarred. His reputation was ultimately known as the man who blamed was for the Chernobyl disaster (even though it was mostly an accident that EVERYONE across the leadership line tried to prevent). Even more worse and sad how, since HBO released the TV series, Dyatlov will be known as the monster who deserved everything that came his way. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Real Dyatlov was actually a good guy, a firm boss, but he was caring and respectful. None of the altercations seen in the show happened IRL at the control room the night of the disaster. In reality the room was completely calm and no arguments leading up to the explosion. Unfortunately HBO had to create more drama for the characters, so the took a poor old man and turned him into the devil we know as Comrade Dyatlov. The real Anatoly Dyatlov ultimately died from his efforts done that night (not shown in TV show conveniently). He got a fatal dose of radiation while trying to find missing Khodemchuck. He also tried multiple times to tell Akimov and Toptunov to go home, they refused (which would lead to their deaths). Real Dyatlov cared about his coworkers and everyone cared about the safety and preventing disaster. We should all just let the man rest in peace. The things he saw and the mistakes he made (including accidently sending two men to their deaths) scarred him for life. He was put in the worst situation possible... maybe let's give this man a rest. Also realize a lot of HBO Dyatlov is Hollywood. Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov's life was not great, not terrible.

@@lynth Cool story. I guess all that, including the capitalist claptrap, is exactly why the Soviets tried him, found him guilty, and sentenced him to 10 years in a labour camp? Or did HBO make that part up too? 🙄
