Chernobyl: "They Mistakenly Sent The One Good Man"

Valery Legasov and Boris Shcherbina discuss their roles in cleaning up the Chernobyl disaster and who was the real "consequential man."
Boris Shcherbina: "I hoped that one day I would matter, but I didn't. I just stood next to people who did."
Valery Legasov: "Of all the ministers and all the deputies, an entire congregation of obedient fools, they mistakenly sent the one good man. For God's sake Boris, you were the one who mattered most."

The growth of friendship between these two was the real heart of the show.

One good man and one honest man, a pair that we all should thank were there when we needed them most.

This is a great scene. Lezrov was right, it took a great leader to listen to the right people, take action, even to convince people to die for the good of all.

This whole series is about that fateful morning that the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor blew up. It is in its essence about a terrible tragedy. But, I say, it was about a time of hero’s. All these people who did what had to be done, at a time when it counted the most. It is a story of fortitude, perseverance, and sacrifice. It is nothing short of amazing.

Just one example of the absolute evil of the former Soviet Union

[@dantruong2582]

Most paths to evil is laid with good intentions. The Soviet Union was born out of inequality in the Russian Empire.

It is but also about the administrative state, bureaucracy, expedience, lies, group think, blind loyalty.

Have you forgotten Covid already?

@@NineInchTyrone The ridiculous stupidity of your comment is insane. Covid 19 was nothing like the soviet union back then or now. It was a response to a virus that could be and was deadly to a large part of our population. The masks and shutdowns were necessary and had nothing to do with a dystopian government. But get trump in office and you will get exactly that...My only regret was that more never maskers didnt succumb.
