I grew up in that area, near the Pripyat river. I was about 10-11 years old when Chernobyl happened. I remember that the local government paid so called "death" money/ compensation to people that lived in the affected areas, and also gave coupons for a free bottle of vodka. It was believed back then that Vodka helped with removing radiation. Who knows, maybe it's true after all...

I don't think it's too upsetting. Yes this is a lonely little radioactive town in the middle of nowhere, but these old folk might have more friendship and love between them than entire scores of people who live in big modern cities. I've been living in cities for my whole life, and the sadness which can be found in such big places can often be immeasurable. My conclusion is that everything can be upsetting. Some people might see this video and see an isolated city of neglected elders. Others might find great entertainment and joy from it; perhaps their lives, wherever they are, are more lonely and solemn than the lives of these radioactive belarussians. It's a matter of perspective of course, like all things. But I think that these villagers might have some bond millions of modern cityfolk (or maybe not even cityfolk) would only dream for.

​@@alexl9799 it is a shame that they didn't go with a russian cast but it is still good, give it a try, watch the first episode, if after the first 30 minutes you're not hooked and the language still bothers you then stop. In a podcast they mentioned that they considered having russian accents but as far as I remember they didn't mention anything about a russian cast. I can understand why they went this way though, not many people are used to watching movies/tv shows with subtitles, so they would've lost a lot of audience, and considering that the show is pretty well made they would've lost money by making it with a russian cast + subtitles. I am romanian and grew up there so I'm used to watching movies with subtitles, now I live in Italy and everything is dubbed, the main argument against subtitles here is that they can't read and focus on the movie at the same time.

[@alexl9799]

@@powalovesmusic yeah i personally don't mind subtitles. I watch everything with subtitles even things in english.

It's really about appealing to a wider audience.
