[@raven3moon]

About Legasov lying in Vienna, he was probably more afraid of the state's backlash against his wife, children and grandchildren, who were never mentioned in the series.

[@user-cx4px3jh2f]

Thinking back, I did actually pick up a historical account of the disaster shorty after the series was released. I was surprised how different Legasov's downfall was from the series. The takeaways I recall were - Officials at home were horrified and wanted his head over how truthful Legasov was at Vienna. But in being so truthful and transparent, Legasov managed to cover up the biggest revelation about the flaw in the scram button by omitting it. Stupid pricks should have thanked him. - Blame game behind the scenes between the scientists/engineers who designed the reactors and the electrical department which ran them. With the department claiming it wouldn't have happened if they had been properly warned about the flaw and the scientists/engineers claiming it wouldn't have happened if the workers followed the explicit rules. Why does this rule exist? Shut up and just do it, that's why. Legasov burned a lot of bridges and made powerful enemies siding with the electrical department.

[@elric5371]

LEGASOV lied a lot, ironically he was ‘conditioned’ into pinning the blame on the operators in order to protect soviet pride and engineering. Despite this he still lost all of his political and educational achievements, he was essentially a puppet for the USSR.

[@jancipolak13]

Valery Khodemchuk was not a firefighter, he was circulating pump operator in the NPP. He was the first victim of the explosion. They tried to find him but his body was never recovered. He has now memorial plaque near the place where he died.

[@was_a2]

Yeah, also a lot of people participated in his search, including Dyatlov, but they were unable to find him… Even while he was in prison he sent a letter to Toptunov’s family to explain them that his son did everything right and professionally, and tried to reduce damage. It is somewhat worrying that they discredited Dyatlov's character in that way… If Akimov and Toptunov were still alive in that moment, they’d be also imprisonated

[@pepparmostheelder]

@@was_a2 They didnt really though. Dyatlov did in fact lie and essentially tried to pass the blame on Akimov and Toptunov at first. It wasnt untill the design flaw of the reactor was revealed that he started to try and protect them and the rest of the operators to try and restore their reputation. The only thing the show maybe does is make it seem like he was a complete ass to everyone while in reality he was actually liked by some. Certainly would have been reasnoable and nice to see picture and a sentence or two about it after the final scene but hardly a character assassination in anyway. I think the show makes it very clear that Dyatlov was in fact for all his fault a knowledgeable guy who only did what he did because information had been kept from him and that there were pressure from above to conduct the test right there and then.

[@elric5371]

@@pepparmostheelderDyatlov did not pass on any blame to Akimov or Toptunov, Akimov being the shift supervisor was responsible for the actions of the control room anyway, Dyatlov actively spoke out and exposed the truth that it was design flaws that led to the explosion not operator error.

[@pepparmostheelder]

@@elric5371 Depends on how you see it. Did in fact claim he wasnt in the controll room when power was raised - however this was disputed by several people. Now this doesnt mean he put the blame on anybody else but what he does mean he tried to take blame off himself. So you are right Akimov was the shift supervisor and would have been on trial had he lived. But Dyatlov was also the supervisor of the test so he did in fact have a big responsibility in making sure it was conducted safely - and he did according to witnesses lie about where he was when some errors were made. Which means (unless the witnesses lied) he tried to divert any possible blame from himself to others who were in the controll room. Edit: Which isnt unreasnoable since Akimov was already dead while Dyatlovs fate was still up in the air. Nobody is denying that he worked to restore both his own and his collegues reputation after the reactor flaw was revealed and it became clear he couldnt have known what would happend

[@elric5371]

@@pepparmostheelder Dyatlov didn’t order the power raise. There was no dispute about that. Akimov and Toptunov were responsible for raising the power, Dyatlov was there to supervise the test but Akimov was responsible for Toptunov and the actions performed were within (the flawed) safety rules. So they didn’t break any rules trying to perform the test at 200MW.

[@flysoup]

I do love this show and it needs to be understood that some dramatic elements were imposed. Dyatlov wasn't entirely a villain and admitted he made poor choices. He spoke with the other plant workers at hospital #6. He spent the rest of his life attempting to save his reputation, the reputation of his coworkers, and expose the design flaws of the RBMK reactor. Edit: You can see it in his eyes that he was haunted by those events. The radiation injury he sustained on his lower legs was from an attempt to account for plant workers and investigate the magnitude of the damage.

[@elric5371]

He didn’t do anything wrong, the only ‘poor’ choice he made was sending the trainees to manually lower the control rods, which haunted him for the resto of his life as it killed them.

[@mwbhomee2802]

Thank you for this comment. It is always good to remember that these docudramas are half drama and only half documentary. I always have to remind myself that they don’t recreate the actual reality and have to wonder how much is truthfully portrayed and how much is dramatized.

[@BornRandy62]

Chernobyl has a fresh list of victims. During the initial invasion of the Military Excursion in to Ukraine the Russian troops were ordered to "dig in " to the grounds around the reactor. Much of the grounds were relatively safe to walk for short visits measured in minutes due to the layer of leaves and other natural coverings but are deadly if disturbed. Tanks chewed up the ground and the infantry dug holes .

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

Dyatlov actually did not lie at his trial. Nor did he do over half the things this show accuses him of. For example, he tried to get several of his co-workers to go home as they became exhausted. He personally inspected what had gone wrong and pulled people back when he got some inkling of how bad things were. Likewise the flaw in the reactor design was more complex and subtle than presented. But--the essential attitudes and reactions of the state are extremely accurate. A year or so later Boris was put in charge of another disaster--an earthquake. Against advice he accepted help from the Western nations and thus saved hundreds if not thousands of lives. He was such a hero. This story is FULL of real heroes. It makes the cowards and liars so much worse by comparison. No, the guy who held the door is still alive. He got horribly sick, with half his body swelling up, but he eventually survived and got better. Quick plot point--at that moment, when he said "Let him finish" Boris was the highest ranking person in that room. So they did obey him.

[@elric5371]

Yuvchenko died in 2008.

[@JoseLay]

I saw this mini series and scared me more than any horror movie ever.

[@YaHussain3_1_3]

It’s not for nothing that they say that real life is much scarier than a horror movie.

[@loveitftw]

Bc it's real and it did actually happen.

[@joshkresnik6402]

I hate to say this, but given the facts behind the characters, outside of the TV show, my favorite character is going to be Anatoly Dyatlov, The real person wasn’t nearly as shrewd or condescending as they made them out to be in the series. from what I’ve heard and read, he was rather difficult to work with and hard on his coworkers, but he also offered to send people home who didn’t feel well during the incident and vouched for them. the main take away from both fact, and the series is that they themselves were not told about the mechanics of the faulty reactor such as the graphite tips. There’s plenty of blame to go around, but they made him out to be a completely apathetic monster, when really, he was , to the best of my understanding, a hardened and stubborn person to work with who was hard on other people, but not as villainous as they made them out to be. he was no hero, but he was not a villain either. I watched a real life interview with him after the incident, and I could see the pain in his eyes and grief and genuine remorse in his expression and body language

[@Wanda711]

Even in this series, during the trial scene when Valery exposes the fatal flaw in the reactor and the fact that it was known but covered up, he doesn't speak but his expression has changed. He has a "If I'd known THAT... " look on his face. The problem was that he genuinely believed that pressing a button would save the situation, that nothing could really go wrong because the design made it impossible. He was too inflexible to be able to accept that his core premise was flawed, and kept reacting to a situation that just wasn't there anymore.

[@Yevgeniy-UA]

Those 31 people died in the first three months after the explosion from Acute Radiation Sickness. They are not talking about the long-range death toll, which is much higher, of course...

[@elric5371]

28 died from ARS, 2 died from blast trauma, the 31st death was Telyatnikov who is the only officially recognised death from cancer,

[@BrianBogiaBricky]

​This is the most impacting video!! Jared Harris playing Valery Legasov was totally amazing in this video!! He is a very good British actor.

[@Captainumerica]

He's also very good, not that good, but very convincing in Foundation, which is a brilliant SF show, one of the best ever, I think, in the hard genre.

[@johnlangis9313]

I was born in 1967 and Chernobyl was unreal to the Earth! Thank you for sharing this and having all of us experience this. Thank you so much!

[@BissFlix]

My pleasure, thank you for watching ❤

[@Lixmage]

Impossible to choose between Boris and Valery - both epic...

[@lazyidiotofthemonth]

In the 1960s the british made an RBMK(or similar type) of reactor and it also had a power excursion, but because it was under a containment dome, the incident did not harm a single person. However it did make the British and Americans(And french for the matter) dismiss RBMKs as unsafe, and the three countries have used Boiling water reactors and Pressurized Light water reactors, all of which were designed to use the water as a moderator and had a negative void coeficient.

[@markhamstra1083]

You are really abusing terminology. Not every graphite moderated reactor is an RBMK reactor; the gas-cooled Magnox reactors at Chapelcross were very different in design and operation from an RBMK reactor; the fuel element failure at Chapelcross in 1967 was also very different from the Chernobyl accident; and graphite moderation is far from being an abandoned technology. On the contrary, several 4th Generation reactors in development or construction are graphite moderated, including Pebble Bed reactors. These are all designed to be inherently, passively safe and incapable of producing an accident like that at Chernobyl.

[@emanuel81111]

its not only enjoyable/well documented but is beyond all , a good rendition for the real events even if its not 1 to 1 exact factually.

[@Out-Of-Service]

It's important to know that people in the Soviet Union at that time were placed in positions of power based on their loyalty to the government, not on education, experience or training. The system requires pawns that do not question decisions or orders. They also serve as scapegoats when things don't go well. It's a terrible system that suceeds in making everyone equally poor, hopeless and miserable.

[@michaelmills34]

Such a great series, and yes. Boris was my favorite too. You did such a great job with this!

[@bigdaddy741098]

The biggest praise goes to those who understood the sacrifice they were making, especially the 3 that shut off the water and all the miners. I think this series did a great job of recognising the heroes.

[@bigsarge8795]

This episode always gets me right in the feels

[@David_C_83]

I knew you'd enjoy this last episode for all of the explanation of how it happened, I think they did a great job to make it as simple as possible for the general public to understand what happened and why. Obviously it's more complex but it's a great way to get people interested in maybe learning more about it on their own. As for Dyatlov, there's also an old video of him, an interview they did before he passed away, you can see that he wasn't all evil, he was definitely a victim of the system too in a way. Oh and for the divers, it's actually the water that most likely ended saving them, in a odd twist that might have not been fully understood back then... water slows down radiation, in a similar way to graphite, it's why today you'll see lots of pools of water where they keep spent fuel at nuclear power plants... so basically their dosimeter was picking up radiation in the air but the water was shielding them, if they had a dosimeter under water they would've very likely had a much lower reading. I don't know how deep of water they ever got in but the deeper it was the better they were being protected while walking in there.

[@elric5371]

The water makes beta particles more prominent producing contact burns, but they were protected from that with their suits. In reality the radioactivity of the hallways there was not high at all. They only received 30 or so Rem from that,

[@utalomAlibbantakat]

29:20 aunder the visible dome (if it weren't for the war) the exploded reactor will be dismantled, I'm curious where the generated waste will be deposited...they say that this disaster gave the Soviet Union the mercy seat, which also fell apart in 1990

[@jpkc86]

There is a movie about another incident, this time with a submarine that is also a true story. It's called K-19 The Widowmaker, it's not as good as this show as it's more dramatized for theater audiences but it's interesting and the end gets to me a bit!

[@kkjhn41]

The success of Chernobyl was directly responsible for HBO doing The Last of Us. Craig Mazin, who created, wrote and produced the Chernobyl series was asked by HBO what he wanted to do next. Mazin was a huge fan of the game and had tried to obtain the rights for TLOU in the past, but they weren't available. Now they were and he had just been introduced to Neil Druckman, the games creator and writer. All it took to get HBO onboard was for Mazin to say this is what I want to do, and they gave him the budget he asked for, $100 million dollars and complete control of the project. Without Chernobyl this probably never would have happened.

[@Ken00001010]

[@petrhanak862]

17:40 the show is making more villain of then actually was - yes, he had high standards and kind of arrogance and "to the letter" attitude, many workers could not take it while others praised him for his knowledge and sense of responsibility. But for example after explosion he actually ordered others to leave their posts (and Akimov and Toptunov refused) and tried to find Khodemchuk, instead of "fuck him". He also been in nuclear incident at military submarine and receive there radioactive dosage that was considered biggest until Chernobyl, so he really thought he has seen worst. It is a more nuanced and complicated character, so take with a grain of salt. Fomin, for example, did not allow to shutdown neighboring reactor N.3 when debris from explosion landed there and set its roof on fire as well. It is a great show, history is even bit more complicated. 20:25 Dyatlov - surprise - was the one pointing out loud the design flaws in the trial, after he received the knowledge of it post-disaster, not Legasov (Legasov and Scherbina were in reality not present). It was basicaly valid defense for him, that they were not allowed to know about AZ-5 desing flaw. 26:54 - Boris was still able in those 4 years be of major help during earthquake relieves in Armenie. Again bringing equipment and people outside of Russia to help. 27:55 and lived in 2022 trough another russian-made hard times, war in Ukraine... 30:07 to add insult to the injury, russians spread narrative that it was a CIA agent who blew up the plant. This show was not well received there and the contrafactual started to be made. Then the "denazification" came as the main topic so we will not see a russian show, where everybody is hunting the CIA agent..

[@iKvetch558]

Welcome to the final episode...well done getting through this show...it is a tough one. I really like the way the makers of the show added the notes at the end to cover some of the things they got wrong, simplified, or made more dramatic...I just wish they had done more of that, or been more honest. For example, they say that "it has been reported" that everyone on the "Bridge of Death" died...but those reports are very much NOT true....so technically, they are being truthful, bur not quite. Other things they do not admit to, I can understand...such as the fact that Legasov was not even at the trial of Dyatlov and company...but it is kind of necessary to turn him into a kind of hero figure and have him do much more than he really did so that the story can be simplified enough for most folks to keep track of. I assume by now you have read the History vs Hollywood article, so you know most of the truth...at least I hope that is the case.👍

I love that you and other streamers watching it get a wider audience to see at least parts, and hopefully spread interest and knowledge. You are the first Eastern European I’ve seen react to this, and i could FEEL how much harder some things hit, and how much you understood what the KGB were like, how the go ernment worked and how looking strong trumped millions of lives if the people on site hadn’t pulled off miracle after miracle, sacrificing their health or lives to protect not just their country, but a HUGE chunk of the world. ❤

[@robinpage2730]

In historical fact, Valery Legasov held the official line in the trial, that the explosion was the result of operator error. Dyatlov actually spoke out during the hearing about the design flaw as his defense. The control rods weren't actually "tipped" with graphite, they were actually displacers to remove water that filled the control rod channels so the control rods could drop in easily. Making the displacers from graphite was a design choice to maintain reactivity while the control rods were outside the core

[@elric5371]

Valery LEGASOV pinned blame on the operators unjustly for his own skin, to protect himself and soviet engineering, in the end though he himself was humiliated in the scientific and political community.

[@TheTsar1918]

The Bridge of Death was an urban myth.

[@marknickols7316]

In the room where Legasov was detained immediately after his testimony at the trial, did you notice the camera focused on the drain in the floor. It is significant.

27:29 Chernobyl, in principle, could be visited if it weren't for the war, the clothes you can see at the scene are in the basement, many foolish tourists expired and stole the contaminated clothes, the management decided to bury the expired cellar, so it is no longer "visitable"..In 2019, the Hungarian-language video "Pamkutya" shows the surroundings of Chernobyl and the power plant, it's a documentary film I recommend watching, 2 parts (in principle there are English subtitles) can be found on KZbin

Im german, now 41 years old and have a vague memory of the year 1986 how at 5 years old, we were not allowed to play outside because "the air was poisoned" and how my father had to change the Sand in the little sandbox in our garden. And how worried my parents watched the news and followed the infos about weather (cause of the radioactive cloud) and what types of food had to be destroyed.

[@philshorten3221]

Brilliant explanation. Terms like "Tips" perhaps not the most accurate but the effect of the Rods pushing the last of the water out of the way is devastating

[@elric5371]

Yes… but everything else is wrong, there was no power surge prior to AZ-5, only after, 200MW was sufficient for the test to be performed and AZ-5 was standard procedure at the end. The caps were not jumping and did not weigh 350kg either, they weighed more like 50kg and were not even attached to the rods.

[@toddkindron8506]

Chernobyl was like the USSR version of Disney world. A manufactured small city, population about 10k, that malfunctioned and poisoned a continent.

They didn't show it much in the show, But legasov did in fact have a family. ( Only mentioned once in part 4, When Sherbina says it's different when it's your life & family they will come after ) So the fact Lagasov is dying anyway & doesn't have anything more to lose is somewhat mitigated by that is it not? 🤔

[@captironsight]

Its ironic that Schurbina who didnt know how reactors worked ended up explaining it at the trial.

[@davemro]

HBO hit a home run with this. One of the coolest things I've seen about the increased awareness of this disaster is the graves of Legasov and Scherbina are more or less perpetually covered in flowers now.

[@elric5371]

LEGASOV was not a hero like HBO portrays it, all they did was fuel lies whilst real hero’s like Dyatlov are now being unjustly hated on.

Latvian American here. Still have close family members who live in Latvia to this day and who lived through Soviet Occupation. To this day in Latvia, every spring farms have to shoot some of their cows because radiation patches from Chernobyl fall out still affect cattle in Latvia as well as the other Baltic Countries. Chernobyl isn't over its effects will last for lifetimes. So your Romanian BlissFlix. Indeed, the Western nations don't understand what it was like for our People under Soviet Communism. But thanks to series like Chernobyl they are starting to learn. Freedom, freedom to speak the truth is the most precious gift humanity can have! Long live FREE Romania! Long Live Latvia.

A number of these actors are in the exceptional Star Wars series, Andor. It's a rather serious mature take on a story within Star Wars.

[@kekohokko7213]

Lovely review, thank you.

[@ltkauffee]

Beautiful reaction... I cried with you.

[@kentbarnes1955]

It's interesting that this was the result of a safety test to "bridge" the gap until the emergency generators came on line. I can confirm that "gap" is NOT something significant at US plants. I've BEEN in a control room when the plant lost power, and the emergency generators kicked on. It's almost instantaneous. The real interesting thing about the event I witnessed is the operators tied in the emergency generators at the control panels WITHOUT the use of labels on the controls...I know this because I was in the process of re-labeling those panels (it was obviously during a time when the plant was shutdown and there was not sufficient nuclear fuel in the reactor to operate...but the plant still requires power to complete the various operations going on). I was very much impressed with the professionalism and training of our nuclear operators. Thanks for a good review of a sobering series. Peace.

[@loveitftw]

I believe that why the number is 31 from the Soviet union is bc I think they could've counted only the people on the ground, first responding or the people in the plant. Like everyone in the control room , firefighters etc. The people with straight on contact died pretty fast compared to everyone else. Something like that. All the other deaths are sicknesses that developed over time. That's the only way I can try to make that number make sense in my mind. ^^

[@UberDurable]

Remarkable and moving show.

[@The_Dudester]

In the late 1950's, a B-47 bomber en route to Albuquerque lost a nuclear bomb, which exploded like a dirty bomb-scattering radiation everywhere. Over the next 10 years, 5 classmates died from brain cancer as well as a couple of adult friends. This series hits too close to home for me.

I'm glad you got to experience this; I consider this a must-watch. While they did Dyatlov a bit dirty, since he wasn't quite the villian portrayed here, overall it was solidly done. I liked that it wasnt too advanced for non-physics people while still not too simplified. Maybe for a slightly lighter tone, but still very interesting, check out Russian Doll.

INSIGNIFICANCE, with Teresa Russell as Marilyn Monroe meeting Einstein.

[@DEWwords]

Also, BAD TIMING with Teresa Russell and Art Garfunkel.

[@DEWwords]

And Network, and Nashville, both masterworks.

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

I recommend The Terror, which stars Jared Harris.😊

Nooooooo I missed the premier, sorry about that Biss

Ananenko, Baranov and Bespalov, the three divers, are the only reason that people can live in Europe today. Think of that. They alone are the only reason that you, me and everyone else can breath the air of Europe today. The only reason we can eat the food of Europe today. The only reason human life can exsist in Europe today. These three men are the greatest heroes of all mankind that ever lived. And the world doesn't care about it.

Интересно, HBO снимут сериал о Японии,которая обосралась со станцией, которую спроектировали американцы? Очень сомневаюсь...🤭

06:21 the cemetery for dirty vehicles that can be seen there is still there, unfortunately it is not very well preserved and many dirty vehicles were taken from there or their parts, which at that time could turn over on the public roads... I could tell you what happened in our country when we still had communism. it was not possible to get iodine from pharmacies because it ran out very quickly and did not reach everyone, most of it went to the army. the last part clearly shows how "justice" worked under communism. the old man we saw in the first parts of the film is an agitator, and there were many of them. it's funny that the so-called "facebook" already existed then, only your friend wrote it about you

[@karstenstormiversen4837]

Of course the Soviet death toll is only 31 since The Soviet Union stopped to exist in 1991! So if you want to find out the real numbers you have to do research about that in Ukraine,Belarus,Russia and the sorounding countries seperatly!

[@alejandromartinez1766]

This miniseries from HBO is an audiovisual masterpiece, great performances and a great and terrifying story because it was true. Your reactions have been the best Miss Bisscute and I loved all the episodes❤❤❤❤. For future reactions I recommend to you the miniseries called (La Fortuna) "The Fortune" from the year 2021, produced by USA and Spain, which deals with the recovery of a great treasure and how both nations disputed it. I think you Will like it😊👍

[@ZedUnbowed]

You mention earlier, it would be amazing if you did a rewatch with your mom and your grandma.

[@vplusah]

Thank you very much for your reaction. It seems that it was no less dramatic than the series itself. It's certainly very deep, but it's not something you'd want to rewatch often. And, yes, I understand you very much about the former socialist republics.....

7:16 Is 'model' the word you're looking for? Definition is "a usually miniature representation of something"...

[@RetroHondo67]

I think it should be mandatory to watch a proper documentary about Chernobyl and then this mini series will be seen in right context. I understand why they changed some of the truth to enhance the drama, but I think this mini series also unnecessarily heightens the fear of nuclear fission energy production. This is especially important because without it, we can’t meet the needs of emission reduction to still climate change. It needs to be respected in terms of its potential to be dangerous but it is also important for us as a species to continue towards a nuclear fusion future which will expand our energy capabilities without the risk associated with Fission. We need to get off this planet as it is clear that the Universe will eventually destroy it, so the clock is ticking and we must not lose sight that the only way to ensure that we continue to survive as a human race is if we migrate to multiple planets.

[@zammmerjammer]

Fission creates waste so dangerous that it remains toxic for thousands of years. And our "solution" to "dispose" of it remains burying it in the ground like a cat burying a turd. The fear of it is entirely appropriate, and that's when everything works correctly.

[@kyleshockley1573]

The amazing thing is that there is an official Soviet death count, that it isn't a zero or a file burnt to ashes in a primus stove somewhere. Or that the event isn't claimed to have increased and exceeded production quotas.

[@elric5371]

The death count is as accurate as it can be, it’s impossible to determine which cancer deaths were radiation induced or not, let alone keeping track of the millions exposed to radiation from the disaster, Hence 64 deaths including those we know from Post ars who died is the closest we can get to an actual death toll.

and now we need another series for the 3 reactors that blew up in fukushima that are still discarding radiation in pacific ocean. Control room japanese people made everything they could but after the earthquake and tsunami they were powerless to stop the uncooled reactors to blow up. Reactor design was american and flawed. The generators which would have saved the plant were underwater.. because it was cheaper i guess.
